Extracting dynamic weather from one mission to another?

[MadTommy]

Has anyone figured out or tried to 'extract' weather info from one mission and insert it in another?

 

I assume there is a section in the mission file that can be copied and pasted onto a new mission, but before some trial & error i thought i'd ask if anyone has done this.

 

Thanks for any help.

Here is the weather section from one of my missions:

 

["weather"] =

{

["atmosphere_type"] = 1,

["wind"] =

{

["at8000"] =

{

["speed"] = 0,

["dir"] = 0,

}, -- end of ["at8000"]

["at2000"] =

{

["speed"] = 0,

["dir"] = 0,

}, -- end of ["at2000"]

["atGround"] =

{

["speed"] = 0,

["dir"] = 0,

}, -- end of ["atGround"]

}, -- end of ["wind"]

["enable_fog"] = false,

["turbulence"] =

{

["at8000"] = 0,

["at2000"] = 0,

["atGround"] = 0,

}, -- end of ["turbulence"]

["season"] =

{

["temperature"] = 20,

["iseason"] = 3,

}, -- end of ["season"]

["qnh"] = 760,

["cyclones"] =

{

[1] =

{

["pressure_spread"] = 861472.1567212,

["centerZ"] = 324271.82867339,

["ellipticity"] = 0.90006357392351,

["rotation"] = -3.1137714375927,

["pressure_excess"] = -1262,

["centerX"] = -114375.16087563,

}, -- end of [1]

[2] =

{

["pressure_spread"] = 859746.14015191,

["centerZ"] = -572321.0056249,

["ellipticity"] = 1.2597444410001,

["rotation"] = -1.4395856824654,

["pressure_excess"] = 1115,

["centerX"] = 540466.04378978,

}, -- end of [2]

[3] =

{

["pressure_spread"] = 904316.24211115,

["centerZ"] = 1352897.456596,

["ellipticity"] = 0.57931640144907,

["rotation"] = -0.54470340773942,

["pressure_excess"] = 1713,

["centerX"] = 305699.97060497,

}, -- end of [3]

}, -- end of ["cyclones"]

["name"] = "Winter, clean sky",

["fog"] =

{

["thickness"] = 0,

["visibility"] = 25,

["density"] = 7,

}, -- end of ["fog"]

["visibility"] =

{

["distance"] = 80000,

}, -- end of ["visibility"]

["clouds"] =

{

["thickness"] = 0,

["density"] = 0,

["base"] = 0,

["iprecptns"] = 0,

}, -- end of ["clouds"]

}, -- end of ["weather"]

 

I assume this can just be transplanted into another mission.

[Speed]

Your assumption is likely correct. Try over-writing another mission's weather with that weather table there, and let us know how it works.

[MadTommy]

yes this info can easily be moved from mission to mission.
