  Other than the strangth of the Wind are there any plans to add additional weather features into WGT?

  As we know (in the UK especially) it is very rare that the sun shines all of the time..............how about some rainy setting which should if created correctly will have some pronounced differences to game plays.

  hi

  because we are using HD photos, we can't really add rain, lighting, darker skies/etc without redoing all the photos. The, it'd likely not look at realistic .

  so, to answer your question - unlikely.

  Wind likely does enough without adding me losing a 9i that slipped out of my hand due to wet conditions.  I would then have to go back to the pro shop and spend more credits on another club....and a glove, umbrella, towels, etc.

  But, sarcasm aside, I LOVE the idea of adding more weather elements....if it were only possible.  However, if it made you go back and spend the resources to reshoot a course, I would rather you use those same resources by adding a new course.

  In the pre-release of Oly era, there was an infamous screen shot of WGT's head honcho playing a hole there in 'Fog Mode' - I've dreamed of playing Oly in that mode to perfect my 'return to The City' fantasy.
