Campaign Weather

[Panama Red]

Has anybody ever figured out a way to increase or decrease the chances for a certain type of weather in campaigns ??? I would like to increase the chances of "bad" weather in the Falklands mod (just like the real campaign), but have not found anything when using "search" that tells me how or if anybody has accomplished this yet !!!

 

Thanks;

This thread talks about a modification to a terrain which allows 4 seasons (depending on the time of year you fly). If you note closely, you can see in the data.ini of the terrain that you can also specify the probability of different kinds of weather for each season.

 

So no, you cannot modify campaigns, however, if you modify the terrain data.ini, it is effectively the same thing.

My "IKE" computer that was suppose to have been fixed went kaput so,going off an older system (1999 Gateway,500 GHz Too slow to play!@$#^!!!) and have no way of looking into game engine!But,off the top of my head...try working with enviromental.ini found in Flight folder and find the chance=,make it around 70-90% to make it rain more.Then again,it could be in woe1.camp (as an example) and look for the same as stated above.Remembering that I d/l'd a CA_stary Snowfall mod and the read me there was an insight on how to make it snow.Then,I would "EXPLORE" he's findings to be a weather god for TK series.Be careful,ALWAYS BACKUP!Before you try anything new!
