Foul weather and dusk

Perhaps the ability to utilize ballpark images representing inclement weather and twilight? You could just load them as you currently do for day and night images....the only difference being the game would need to transition from dusk to dark, but it would only require one change of image.

I like this idea too.

Come to think of it, shouldn't there be a feature in the game setup where you can dictate the odds of a rain out?

Or is it there, and I haven't stumbled upon it?

3D mode allows for this. A mid-to-late afternoon game will transition from day to sunset (blue sky to rose color) ... a very late afternoon game will transition from rose/sunset to night sky (with a shining moon!)... and night games have the night sky.

Would love to see the addition of grey for cloudy/rainy day games... transitioning from say a lighter grey to a darker grey at sunset/dusk... or from dark grey to night sky - but with NO moon (moon should only be seen if the sky is clear or partly cloudy - if it's overcast or raining, there should be no moon)...

I don't think we can set the odd of a rainout so much as each city has i believe it's a percentage chance of precipitation for a given month - that can be increased or decreased. So we can change the chance of precipitation in a given city/ballpark in a given month - but not increase the chance the game will be called due to rain.

Actual rainouts can be toggled on or off and that's it.
