OK, Fullofit, here is the modified version of ME with ambush odds scaled from 0 to 20 % with one percent increments.
Download it here
Enjoy!

Triple-J, I didn't expect you to touch the keyboard for a while. Wow! Thank you.

Jara, no go. Just tried the static planes only option and this is the message I'm getting. I thought I have all the correct mods installed? Here's the list of the mods.

Robert, I don’t think so. The rest of ME works just fine. I’ll try to redownload the Realistically Populated Airfields 1.4 and see if it works. Were you testing it with the 1918 Facilities, or 1917?

I had it set to 1918. Don’t know if that makes any difference...

Jara, I don't think I understand what the problem was. It seems to be working on my end. Can you explain in more detail or PM me? Thanks

@Robert,
Mission Editor v 1.5.5 raised false warning "Realistically Populated Airfields Mod not installed" (ref to Fullofit's attached picture) although mod was correctly installed. Version 1.5.6 of ME fixes this issue.

Thank you Jara. I’ll have to give it a go. Will let you know if that fixed the problem. Cheers!

Wow, this thread was buried almost at the bottom of the page! Let’s fix that. With the new version of ME imminent, I thought of something else that could be added. No, not new planes. Would it be possible for ME to give me a warning that my mission will start in total darkness and offer me a choice to move time forward, so I can see where I’m flying? I get so excited that I forget to check when I’m in the briefing room. Also, it could warn me that my mission could end after sunset. Do I want to start earlier? That is if ME can double as a time machine, of course. If not, maybe just a simple “sun up” and “sun down” graphic in the weather section.
Speaking of the weather, l’ve noticed that before fiddling with the wind direction, the arrows show random directions, but once the direction is changed all the arrows point in the same direction. Could it be possible for the arrows to point in the general direction selected, but have that random deviation? And more importantly, would the wind in the sim follow these randomized directions?

I'll try to answer for JJJ, if I may Fullofit. There is already some randomization in the wind speed and direction via the ME. The ME reads the wind direction and wind speed from the cloud type and then randomizes the numbers a bit. For example, if the cloud type calls for wind coming from 270°, the wind generated for that mission might vary anywhere between 250° and 290° (approximately).

You may also manually select wind speed and direction if you don't like the default settings. I believe there may be some randomization in this case as well, but only JJJ can answer that.

The ME is really a fantastic tool, I can't say enough about it.

It sure is BuckeyeBob. So I guess the arrows all lined up in the same direction is just a graphical thing in ME, but in reality (and by that I mean WOFF) the wind shifts direction? Thanks Bob, good to know!

As BB alredy said - wind arrows show general direction of wind. Wind directions and speeds, as well as cloud cover, are variable and change when flying from one location to another.

This is exactly what baters me the most and it is on my TODO list since I have started my coding of ME. Honestly, I am not able to figure out the sunrise and sunset (light conditions) for every day in WOFF. If you can share any idea how to solve that problem, I would very appreciate that.
Just a note - never set time in ME backward (not even a minute). The WOFF may have problem to chew it up and can exit with a crash.

Hey Triple-J, if that information can’t be extracted from WOFF, then maybe it can be grabbed from internet, like timeanddate.com, where you can select the region of Flanders and appropriate year and month and it will spit out the sun information. Hopefully WOFF is close to those times, then again it doesn’t have to be that accurate. What do you think?
