Setting Miision Start Time

[Pineapple Pete]

So, I am still learning DCS and I like to build missions so that I can work on developing certain skills.

Today, I set about to build a mission that starts at 21:00 as I want to fly in the dark and complete an ILS.

When I went to fly the mission, I get a map and the mission doesn't start. I have built other mission with the default start time with no problems. Now today, rather than the mission starting, all I see is the map.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks,

BTW, I write this thread after looking in vain in the manual and reading through the forums and finding nothing.

Here you go. Don't know what you're doing without seeing the .miz.

 

EDIT: After some thought, I expect what happened is you set the start time for the flight and not the mission.

 

If the mission starts at 12 noon, and the flight starts at 2100, 9 in-game hours will have to pass before the aircraft is available.

Hi There Mr. Fum

I figured it must be something like that but I looked and couldn't find a place to set the different times. Out flying IRL tonight but hope to see you on the 355th this week.

Thanks

Once again it is feefifofum to the rescue. I didn't realize that the mission start time was actually initiated in the mission briefing.

Thanks!
