no missions at night?
« on: June 23, 2008, 06:33:17 PM »
Why cant you post a mission at night? (after 6pm game time) ....that seems very odd to me.

I've noticed that too, a glitch of some sort at dusk.

Another slight glitch I've noticed is when I load a saved mission, sometimes planes spawn from the hanger even though I have them to a particular runway.

The Main Arena's don't go to night. They jump from 6pm to 6am, nothing in between.

Yup, call it dusk then.  Missions won't launch sometimes at those times, seen it a number of times.

Initially, I though this topic was going somewhere else. Minor hijack....

It reminded me that NASA recently announced that they planned to build a probe to fly into the sun.

Hearing this, our Clerk Elaine said, "wouldn't it burn up before it got there?"

"Not a problem", said one of my fellow Engineers. "NASA's not that stupid, they'll go at night."

Widewing,

Sadly I think your being serious....some of NASA's ways are "interesting" to say the least.

Hey Dredger. I have noticed the same thing with saved missions. What I have determined to be the problem is if you saved the mission from a Large Base and then try to implement it at a small base. This seems to screw everything up when it comes to launch runway. I have just been double checking any saved mission before I submit them.  :salute

I imagine if you setup to launch from SE runway and move the mission to a field without a SE runway, it will default back to the hangar.

Some maps might switch later? ...maybe?...I'm not sure,  but this map it was dusk/dawn and after 6pm ...the map we were on goes closer to dark then any other ...I was unable to post ...or create a misson ....just seems odd to me.
