SDOE Mission Making Tutorial - Part 2
By Scott Verge

Step 8
After the briefings it's time to add some Clouds. I picked overcast cause I like the effect and it’s a little easier on FPS.

Open up the Environment window and using the pull down menu set it to Overcast, it's that easy.

Then let's add some wind. I find the P51's were just barely making it off the ground so lets help them a bit by giving them a little headwind. Lets set it at 15 Mph for testing just to see its affect on things, and let's set it at the same heading as the runway they are using which is Southeast. Keep in mind that this will affect all the other aircraft in the mission so check on all of them on take-off and later in the mission to see if they are still being affected by the new wind settings.

Save the mission as simple8.mis and test it.

Well the P51's seem to get off a little earlier and the other planes don’t seem be having too many problems. So we shall leave it alone; you could try increasing the wind if you want.


Looking a little rough up there, just the way I like it
