Set Mission Time at Start?

[Vettefan]

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

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)

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.

That would be a work-around...   

 

Thanks mate!
