Start year questions

[Stingray72 6]

Hi!!

 

I am trying to take pictures of old and new planes of the same squadrons. So far I have been doing F-4's and F-14's together. No I am trying to do F/A-18's and F-4's, but since the J was retired before the Bug was around I can't get them together. I am going to try to rename some skins and see if they can be N or S models, but can anyone tell me what I need to change to get them right? I tried changing the start year and I noticed two things: 1) when I save it just goes back to what was in there for default (not the first time I have experienced this, I ran into this with skinning the MF F-8's and never figured out the fix), 2) it changes depending on what plane you were trying to select for the single mission, so when I pick F-4J then open the options.ini it shows F-4, when I select F/A-18 it shows f/a-18.

 

Any ideas?

Did you try changing the EndServiceYear= in the data ini, (just for the photo-op, change it back when done)

Sorry, didn't know where to post this question.

 

And yes, I looked there on a hunch and found the service date for the a/c, changed it to an earlier year and was able to get the shot I was after. Thank you!
