Extending Years in SF2 Titles

[Spiff 2]

How do you do it? I've seen the knowledge base, extracted the singlemission.ini, israelME.ini, and the options.ini is in plain sight. My problem is I can't get the F-15I or F-16I to have any other dates but 2002 and 2003 respectively. The options.ini is right in the mod israel directory so I just changed the end year to 2020 three times ( originally I think they were all zeroes). The singlemission.ini was empty except for target info so I used the format from first gen title (possible problem there). The israelME.ini has "allowed dates" in a xx/xx/xxxx format. I wanna know where these files go after editing them and the correct format for the entries. I've run through several variations and got no where. Somebody out there hopefully has this sorted out. Thanks.

Service dates for the aircraft. It's in the data.ini for both those models.

In the ISRAELIME file open it up and change it to this

 

[AllowedDates]

StartDate=11/29/1947

EndDate=2020

 

You will be good to go.

you should also be able to add this to the singlemission ini (after extraction from the flightdata.cat, and placement into the mods/..../Flight folder)

 

 

[Years]

PeriodStart=1945

PeriodEnd=2050

MaxServiceLife=5

I'm not having any luck here and this should be simple. For the IsraelME file do I create a terrain folder and place it there and modify the options.ini 3 times with 1945 and 2050?

Create a terrains folder. Put the IsraelME file in there with my edits.

 

Then edit the options.ini and you are set.

Anybody else out there having trouble doing this with a merged install? I . . . can't . . . make . . . it . . . work.

In the terrain folder, make a folder called ISRAELME, then put the ISRAELME.ini in that. I think I might neglected to tell you that step.

Thanks for the help, but I think my whole install is fouled up or I'm missing some stupid little thing somewhere. After modifying the IsraelME file are you also changing the options.ini and the singlemission.ini? Thing that gets me is some say startyear, other says periodend, and the options.ini is default set to zeroes.

If its set to zero then all you have to do is modify the ISRAELIME file.

Thanks for the help again, folder problem. I just modified the ISRAELME.ini and left the other 2 files alone.
