UN mission 2 - starts at night?

Given the recent UN campaign fixes in 1.5.3 I have decided to refly the campaign again to finally get past the mission with the rebels in the city.

Now the 2nd mission (delivering stuff to checkpoint 8) starts at 7:10am, which is in complete darkness. Even after the RTB at 8:00am one can see some hints of the dawn, but it is still dark.

With these conditions it is easy to miss the red marker smoke (which looks black at night). If I remember correctly, the mission was originally set in daylight and was much friendlier to the newcomers.

gerd; sunrise is off about 1 1/4 hours. Its been reported and ED is aware, we just have to wait for it to be fixed.

If you go into the editor and change the time from 7:10 to 8:25 it will be just about right.

Thanks DeJohn, I was suspecting something like that.

Same problem with missions 6 and 11

I flew that last night. I thought "Jeez, it's dark for 7.00am at this latitude", and "where is is red smoke". I did find it eventually, but my landing was a tad agricultural and some important bits of helicopter snapped off. Try again this evening.

Still more missions in this campaign with the same problem. The complete list is:

2, 6, 11, 13 & 14.
