Thanks Triple J,thanks also to OldHat for the wind mod,il be sure to try this all out later guys

Mission Editor 1.1.4.3 - the latest jar executable file is available here: Mission Editor

Enhanced Wind manager - now with limited wind bumps feature allows us to set the wind speeds freely up to 25 knots. User can accept recommended values IAW historical weather (offered in form fields) or change them manually. Manual selection of Wind direction is granted .

JJJ65 there are some artwork images such as squad.jpg, Brlog.jpg, Frlog Gerlog etc are from WOFF. Can you remove those please and use something else thanks or make you program load WOFF's ones instead and not include them in your rar.

Also they are repeated in several sub folders in the jar, several nested folders, data, mission editor is repeated and so on may be worth tidying that up to remove extras.

Mission Editor executable v 1.1.4.4 - download it here Mission Editor
- Fixed bug when AAR/Debriefer hangs during loading. Improved labels and text on debriefing map.
- Cleaned executable from garbage - thx Pol for pointing it out.

This is absolutely fantastic, JJJ65! Thank you. I assume this will be compatible with the new clouds from my upcoming cloud mod?

Im loving it OldHat,i took a Caudron up with winds between 10-16Kts..NNW ,wow it feels so much "lifelike" you battling not only with your craft but the wind aswell

Thanks JJJ for incorporating this into your mission editor..it's a brilliant piece of work

Just a couple of quick questions if anyone has a rough idea?
Which way would the wind blow mostly?
Should I set my wind to a specific direction the majority of the time and at what speed?
Thanks for any replies

For Mission Editor: - If you set , for example, wind direction to W, mission editor will generate randomly wind directions for every area in range 258 - 281 degrees. Wind speed (in knots) you can input manually to fields "From - To" , or keep recommended values.

Thank you for the explanation JJJ

Hi Jara,

Back flying again and catching up...

With the Weather Manager there are two entries with weather information when it first pops up.

At the top it said:

Historical Wind: Light or no wind

In the middle of the Weather Manager is said:

Weather: Mostly sunny. Strong winds from the west.

Or something like that. And they contradicted one another.

Where do the two entries come from? I was trying to decide if I wanted to create strong winds from the west, or a "light to no wind day."

I'm using Buckeye Bob's historic weather mod (thanks, Buckeye!)

Its a great feature, thanks!

These values ME reads from OFFHistoricalWeather files. If you use Buckeye Bob's weather mod (I use it either), then these values were extracted from his modded file. Can you specify a mission date, when this happened, so we (or Buckeye Bob) can make necessary correction?
Thx.

I apologize I have forgotten to mention very important step to enable proper function of Wind Mod:
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid conflicts with WOFF stock wind generator, disable stock wind in WOFF UE Workshop.
Thank you.

That line is not in any of my weather files, so it must come from WOFF.

JJJ
Just an FYI from a happy user of your MOD.

I didn't know that the stock "wind" needed to be disabled until I read your note, above.

But I have to say that WOFF runs with both enabled quite well. The wind when set high, is quite realistic and as expected.

I'll try it as you suggest to see if there is a positive difference. But it seems great as is to me.

Just wanted to add that "report from the field" to the mix. ;>)

Thx cptroyce.
Just when wind speed value read from OFFHistoricalWeather files, is "6", then planes become unflyable, because WOFF code multplies turbulence and wind gusting twice.
