I think the number is there to help the user to determine what level of the BT mod they want to apply, as the more aircraft that are flying, the greater the demand on your cpu.
However, I don't think it would be too difficult for JJJ65 to hide that information for those who prefer not to see it.

Do you mean up in the right top corner where it says total aircraft under the date and time mate? if so im not sure
Or over on the left of Me (Show all flightpaths) and (Show enemy flights) ..Anyone else chime in and advise WallysWorld? Yes, the number up in the top right corner.

It's not so much the number that will give anything away. It depends on several factors, battle or quiet area, enemy encounter setting in workshop, flight path, weather, etc.. you could have 200 aircraft and not meet any in your mission or run into several during a mission It is all random, so the number doesn't mean much. When a tweaked version of the weather mod comes out by BB, then air activity will change somewhat and that number will be important to change/adjust depending on the day you fly

Just to be clear, I think orbyxP is referring to the historical weather mod, not the cloud mod here.

WOFF Mission Editor v 1.8.8 released, download available here.Changelog: New feature per BuckeyeBob's request: random wind speeds. User now has the option to have mission editor randomly select wind speeds between zero to twenty-two kilometers per hour (14 mph) for the most cloud types in the Optional Cloud mod v3.0 by BuckeyeBob. Hint: If users find the wind to be too strong on occasion, particularly for early war planes, lower the values for wind bumps and turbulence in JJJ65's Multimod.

Thank you for this update JJJ - soon I will be brave enough to try out the Mission Ed. finally. I am assuming that if one uses only the MultiMod and BB's ver. 3.0 clouds with WOFF - without the Mission Ed. - wind speeds are then fixed/locked to the type of weather loaded by WOFF for a mission? (Or perhaps I'm confused about this.) Von S

Thanks, Jara! A little more unpredictability may help freshen things up a bit (not that any freshening was needed).

Without the mission editor, VonS, you will be stuck with the WOFF default background weather conditions, including wind direction and wind speed (although most other parts of my cloud mod will still work). In default WOFF, wind can come from around 12 different directions, but there are only four different wind speeds, including zero.

Thank you BB for the quick response - this clarifies things for me in terms of wind variations/speeds, etc. I look forward to installing JJJ's Mission Ed. Von S

You will quickly learn to depend on it.
Don't forget to read the readme file, put together by Jara, Robert_Wiggins, and myself. It has a lot of helpful hints and suggestions.

Just found out new version is out. Thank you Jara and all that helped to develop it. Looking forward to this random wind setting.

My Windows 10 computer installed the latest Java version last night (Java 8 Update 251) and now inside the Mission Editor, the Weather Manager button does nothing when I click on it. Does anyone else have this issue with the latest Java?
And this morning Windows installed the latest update as well (KB4549951) so that could be the issue too.

. This is great Jara! As I said this morning about your MultiMod, many thanks as always for keeping your "must have" mod up to date for us all, (you have more than one must have mod). Lou .

Can other users with W10 confirm that problem? I'm on W10 64 bit. I have not installed the latest Java update yet. However, I occasionally have had problems with the weather manager not opening in the past. It rarely happens. It won't work for one or two missions and then it's just fine after that. I'll install the new Java update and report back.

I just finished a mission using the ME and the weather manager opened up and worked properly. However, I am not using the latest version of the ME. I'm still using v1.8.7 (if that matters).

Thanks for checking, hoongadoonga.
I uninstalled the latest Java version and reinstalled a previous one. Also uninstalled KB4549951 and still the Weather Manager button in ME does nothing for me. So something changed on my computer that stops the Weather Manager from opening. I reinstalled everything back to the latest and will wait and see if the Weather Manager starts working again for me in the coming days and weeks.

Just to be sure - Weather Manager works only when Historical weather is enabled in WOFF Workshop. Check your WOFF Workshop settings, pls.

Yes, I did check and the Historical weather is turned on. The Weather Network was working fine before I updated Java and installed the latest Windows 10 updates so something in those must have changed something on my computer that stops the Weather Manager from running.
