Single year aircraft

[harryleith 12]

I was an early adopter of Expansion pack2 and I seem to have developed an odd problem. Some of the later third party aircraft now do not have a service date range. They are available for the since year noted in the ServiseStartYear attribute but ignore the ServiceEndYear value. This seems to affect more modern aircraft. For example my A-4G Skyhawk is fine, but my RAAF FA-18s aren't, only being available in 1984 or 2003. Bizarrely, my RAAF F-111 (early) has a date range, while the F-111C (Late) doesn't.

 

They all worked fine before, and the same aircraft work fine in a non-expansion pack install.

 

Has anyone else seen this or is it just me?

Open the Options.ini

 

Scroll down to:

 

[singleMission]

 

And adjust EndYear to something like that below

 

EndYear=2040

 

And you'll get your service dates working again.

Is this even in the right forum?? There is no Exp2 for 1stGen 3W games

Thanks EricJ - changing the SingleMission end date from 0 to 2050 worked a treat and my aircraft are now all ship-shape and terrific again. You are, sir, a dead-set legend and I won't hear a word to the contrary!

 

My date problem would appear not to be an Expansion pack 2 issue. It also wasn't a Gen 1 issue, so thanks to Wrench and Fast Cargo for moving it to the right place! My bad!

 

I have been flying SF2 for exactly a year, and the forums and help on Combat Ace really provide valuable assistance. I appreciate all the effort you guys go to.
