can't get service years to work correctly

[dsawan 613]

Hi, anyone know how to fix the service years in the main plane selection screen? I chose the f-18E and only get one year to select andno future years. Other planes go from say 1966 and end up at 1983 and no farther. I checked thr plane service dates in ini file but those werent chgd. is the options .ini the file to chg and if so what shd be edited? thx. This March 2010 patch seems to have caused problems besides breaking the text messages. I use a merged install of all 4 games. thx.

PLEASE ALWAYS try to state WHICH version of the game(s) your talking about, in the first sentence if possible. It'll help narrow down the answer. Instead of having it at the end of the post, making it a bit more confusing.

 

Have you checked the SF2 Knowledge Base? Some kind person addressed this very same problem just over a week ago (as there were like 2 or 3 threads on the subject in 3 day period..), and thoughtfully posted a tutorial on HOW to adjust start/end years for SF2 series games.....

and it's not the 3/10 patch that's causing it (although it's screwed up s**tloads of other things..) ... it's how NextGens work now.

Hi, kevin. i tried the above thread and I cant get the years to asjust say from 1940-2050. I followed instructions but either it gives single years or up to 83. Any other advice? thx. I only tried with IsraelMe not Vietnam. Do you have to do all of them simulataneously once extracted?

 

 

 

 

 

 

The "AllowedDates" are the lines you want to edit. I usuall use a 100 year spread, so you can change them to something like this:

 

[AllowedDates]

StartDate=1/1/1950

EndDate=12/31/2050

Yes, you'll have to do ALL the stock terrains. Add-on terrains (all that I"m aware of), don't have the 'fixed dates' line. Yet
