VA27Badger Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Hey Gang, Sorry for the questions lately just setting up SF2 again for some flight time. I have installed Starys HD europe tiles and it by default gave me what looks like the winter terrain. How do I go about putting the summer files in there. I have 3 folders fall spring and winter but no summer. Any help would be great! Heres a pic of my flight once I installed the Europe terrain tiles Edited June 9, 2011 by VA27Badger Quote
+FLOGGER23 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 This terrain has been configured to fly in several seasons and, at least in mine, they are picked up randomly, try making some other missoins to see of it changes... regards. Quote
+Wrench Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 do you the 4 seasonal folders? (fall, hard winter, spring, winter) did you use all the supplied inis? There's 'seasonal switchs' in the GermanyCE.ini [season001] Directory=hard winter StartDate=1/1 EndDate=02/27 ScatteredChance=0 BrokenChance=40 OvercastChance=50 InclementChance=10 [season002] Directory=winter StartDate=02/28 EndDate=03/15 ScatteredChance=25 BrokenChance=40 OvercastChance=17 InclementChance=8 [season003] Directory=Spring StartDate=03/16 EndDate=05/21 ScatteredChance=40 BrokenChance=25 OvercastChance=17 InclementChance=8 [season004] Directory=fall StartDate=09/21 EndDate=11/09 ScatteredChance=25 BrokenChance=40 OvercastChance=17 InclementChance=8 [season005] Directory=winter StartDate=11/10 EndDate=12/05 ScatteredChance=25 BrokenChance=40 OvercastChance=17 InclementChance=8 [season006] Directory=hard winter StartDate=12/06 EndDate=12/31 ScatteredChance=0 BrokenChance=40 OvercastChance=50 InclementChance=10 Quote
+Stary Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 what Flogger and Wrench said... you must put the modified GermanyCE.ini (and GermanyCE_data.ini but based on your screenshot seems to me you did so) in your mods/Terrains/GermanyCE folder, seasons are being picked up depending on mission date Quote
TurtleHawk Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 In other words, it changes with the seasons, like in real life Unless your saying you want Summer only. Quote
VA27Badger Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 Ok thanks guys Ill try a few more missions, just curious though how does it figure out the season. where I live its summer now. All of the files are installed correctly as well. I wish we had a button in game to change seasons like in FSX. Quote
+Wrench Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 actually, it is broken. I was testing the Tunnan conversion just now, and the only dates I kept getting was Feburary. 15+ missions, and nothing but winter. I'll be gone this weekend (back sunday night) so I can't test my theory ... I think someting like the FE/FE2 Vogessin might need to be done. (or is the Latitude= too far north? 80 degs?? Shouldn't it be like 50-something?) That is, move ALL the tiles to a seperate sub-folder in the /Terrains folder, and change the seasonal pointer to 'look in that direction' I'll experiment when I get back. Quote
VA27Badger Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 Cool let me know how you make out cause I flew a few more missions as well and still a winter map......Thanks Quote
+Stary Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 IT'S A BUG tested myself, random date is broken -I had allways April missions in my case, days randomize, month not -the only solution I can think of is to click the mission editor icon and change the date manually Quote
+Wrench Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 we better let TK know, without the seasonal switch, Korea is gonne be f***ed. Quote
+Stary Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 from my testing the start month is being picked up randomly and stays that way, testef many rimes by selecting mission, abord select, read date, abort etc -days randomize, month stays the same (and year of course) Quote
+hgbn Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 That is not my experience. I started up mine and ran 3 different single missions getting a totally different month each mission. But that's my Korea install not europe Quote
+Stary Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 That is not my experience. I started up mine and ran 3 different single missions getting a totally different month each mission. But that's my Korea install not europe post May patch? Which exe did you use to create stand-alone install? I used Expansion 2 one Quote
+PureBlue Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Same here with EXP2.exe May11 patch. No change in months for single missions, only days.. Quote
+Wrench Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 use the sf2 exe for all my 'era' specific mods folders Quote
+Stary Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 anyone checked how the campaign seasoning works..? if it does Quote
+hgbn Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 May 11 patch and SF2MCE exe like I always do for third party mods. Quote
+Fubar512 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I'm having no issues with seasons changing...it seems to do so now progressively by date, so each mission is flown 3-9 days after the previous one. In otherwords, It takes 10-15 consecutive missions in order for one to see a change of season, from beginning to end. Quote
