Service Years Problem

[Wraith27 6]

Hello!

 

I had Strike Fighters Gold

 

Now I have WOE!!!! (patched) and:

 

The service yeas in the game are different that in ...DATA.INI files for some of my planes:

For example:

 

A-10A in DATA.ini is 1976-2020 in game 1976-1985 -(original plane from the game WOE)

A-12 in DATA.ini is 2005-2040 in game 2005-2010

A-4B in DATA.INI 1957-1970 in game 1957-1970 -EVERYTHINK IS OK (plane from SF Gold)

AV-8A Data.ini 1971-1986 in game 1971-1985 -(original plane from the game WOE)

F-100D data.ini 1956-1971 in game 1956-1971 -EVERYTHINK IS OK (original plane from the game WOE)

F-15A data.ini 1976-1997 in game 1976-1985 -(original plane from the game WOE)

f-4J DATA.INI 1966-1982 in game 1966-1982 -EVERYTHINK IS OK

MiG-23MF data.ini 1973-1982 in game 1973-1982 -EVERYTHINK IS OK

OV-10a data.ini 1965-2000 in game 1965-1985

Su22M4 data.ini 1980-2000 in game 1980-1985

Tu-22k DATA INI 1965-1978 in game 1965-1978-EVERYTHINK IS OK

 

I made some experiment with A-12 and this is result

 

In data.ini I put 1995-2040 game shows 1995-2000

in data.ini I put 1950-1956 game shows 1951-1956!!!!

ok there is some help in the kB on that

 

but if you open your WOE folder you will find a OPTIONS file open that and go to SingleMission

 

[singleMission]

AircraftType=F-111X

MissionMap=GERMANYCE

MissionType=SEAD

MissionTime=NOON

MissionWeather=CLEAR

AirActivity=RANDOM

AirDefenseActivity=RANDOM

LoadMission=FALSE

LoadMissionFilename=A-10A Close Air Support

MissionYear=2008

StartYear=1955__________change the value here to the year you need or like

EndYear=2020___________change the value here to the year you need or like

 

hope that helps

I'll try but I think that this file is changing automaticly when I exit the game and save data from the last used in single mission plane. I must check is the data (mean service years) from this file are that same like in data.ini file...

 

Thanks!

i just changed it to the value you see there and have no problem with any aircraft so far

may take a look in the attributes of the Data.ini. Maybe there is some trouble with the write-protection?

No once u've changed the values in the options ini everything will be hunky dory

OK, if you take a look here you can spot a pattern.

All service years that pass 1985 are bugged for you, that's with a good reason.

In WOE default service years range from 1955 to 1985 to change that, go to root folder of the game, there's an "Options.ini" open it up and find the following line:

 

[singleMission]

AircraftType=F-15A

MissionMap=GERMANYCE

MissionType=SWEEP

MissionTime=NOON

MissionWeather=SCATTERED

AirActivity=NORMAL

AirDefenseActivity=NORMAL

LoadMission=FALSE

LoadMissionFilename=A-10A Close Air Support

MissionYear=1978

StartYear=1955

EndYear=1985 <--------------CHANGE THIS to your liking, I have mine set for 2020
