Vettefan Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hi, Is there a way to set the mission start time right at mission launch? I wish to create a couple of missions to enhance my flying skills at day and night in different scenarios but I do not want to necessarily copy each mission for day and for night sorties, if I can avoid it. I am aware of how to set day, time and weather in the mission editor but I cannot see an option to change it at the mission start. (I do know that I can select my plane to be flown by adding multiple planes and assigning them to "client", which gives me a nice selection window at mission start -> same would be cool for time...). Thanks for your replies! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Sorry but no, you can't You could place it as a wish for future updates here: https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/816-mission-editor-wish-list/ (I can imagine it could be problematic though for certain triggers/activations. For instance, when in the mission an aircraft is set to "activate" at a certain specific time) System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exorcet Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 You can launch your mission from the mission editor. Then it's simply a matter of changing the time in the editor before flying. I usually launch a mission from the editor 99% of the time instead of from the mission menu.
