RLS Career Overhaul | v2.7.0.1 | The Biggest Update Yet! (Patreon)

Tire Wear, Thermals, and Dynamic Weather

Integrated persistent tire wear and thermals from Beta Tyre Wear and Thermals Redux by Zesty_Maple98.

Tire temperature now changes grip, while driving style, drifting, burnouts, and overheating affect tire wear.

Tire condition and temperature are tracked per vehicle and preserved between sessions.

Rebalanced wear so normal cornering produces heat without excessive abrasion, while aggressive driving causes meaningful deterioration.

Disabling Maintenance Mode safely suspends tire wear and restores normal tire behavior without destroying saved condition.

Added persistent dynamic weather in partnership with JayBeam’s Universal Dynamic Weather Mod.

Weather now changes over time with rain, storms, fog, road wetness, environmental effects, and weather audio.

Added a Weather phone app with current conditions, hourly forecasts, seven-day forecasts, road wetness, and severe-weather alerts.

Added configurable weather behavior, forecast notifications, day length, and day/night cycle controls.

Standard tires retain normal wet grip, while sport, race, and drag compounds receive progressively greater wet-weather penalties.

Saved fog and weather conditions are now restored immediately when loading a career.

Maintenance and Vehicle Condition
