JEFX Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 HI! I remember reading somwhere (a long while ago) that the way Lockon is configured now the lenght of the day is always the same in all seasons (to get more daylight in all missions) but it would be possible to change a setting to make it realistic (shorter in winter, etc.) to follow the calendar? For immersion purposes, I would be very interested if anyone knows what to do or change in order to get that? thanks JEFX [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] In DCS I fly jets with thousands of pounds of thrust...

Kaifolom Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Check \Lock On\Config\world\world.lua file:) good luck! Core i7 920/DFI LP DK X58-T3eH6/6Gb Corsair XMS3/74Gb Raptor + 750Gb Seagate/Zotac GeForce GTX 295/Logitech G15, MX518/Thrustmaster Cougar I've got the snowboard under my feet I can fly so high, I can fall so deep
JEFX Posted July 5, 2005 Author Posted July 5, 2005 Thanks You are right. I changed the date in World.lua to december and it is still dark at 7:00 in the morning and it is already night (totally black) at 20:00. It is a great start. But I am looking for a way to make this automatic (when you choose a season, it does the change) ?? Thanks anyway JEFX [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] In DCS I fly jets with thousands of pounds of thrust...

Kaifolom Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Sorry, afaik it's impossible in FC. Core i7 920/DFI LP DK X58-T3eH6/6Gb Corsair XMS3/74Gb Raptor + 750Gb Seagate/Zotac GeForce GTX 295/Logitech G15, MX518/Thrustmaster Cougar I've got the snowboard under my feet I can fly so high, I can fall so deep
JEFX Posted July 6, 2005 Author Posted July 6, 2005 Thanks Kaifolom I made some experimentation and the length of day changes and reflects pretty much exactly the real astronomical values for the date! But I am pretty sure I read in some thread answered by one of the devs (maybe Chizh?) in the anticipation of FC that it would be possible to set this to follow the seasons (maybe he was just referring to the possibility of manually changing it like I just did). Maybe someone with good programming skills can make a little mod that adjust that date automatically to say 4 predefined dates for the seasons (ex.: June 21, Sept. 21, Dec. 21 and March 21) ? Teka Teka ?? sounds like his type of mod (moon phases and all). I love those little details that make this sim such an immersive world. cheers JEFX [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] In DCS I fly jets with thousands of pounds of thrust...
