Weather: Small drops of water falling quickly, with diameters between .2 and .5 millimeters. Fairly uniform precipitation consisting exclusively of very small water droplets very close together.

Conclusions.
At the moment the most complete and quality weather mod for Assetto Corsa, the effects are very realistic.
Rain, Hail, Thunderstorm and other effects related to rain and visually important weather events, while being very nice looking, do not have sounds which greatly reduces the fun, but most importantly the realism. Sounds are available with Patreon subscription on Ilja Usupov's site.
The rain is perfectly visible on the windshield, but outside the cockpit you can't see it and you can't even see it on the asphalt and same situation for snow, at the moment. Maybe in a future release.
In tight turns in the rain you can hear the tires whistle, which is pretty improbable on wet asphalt.
For less fast computers, I recommend version 1.5. to get an acceptable fps (frames per second) and avoid jerking in the view.
Apart from these inconveniences, of which it was necessary to warn, but which will surely be corrected in future versions, is a fantastic free mod that I recommend to everyone.
