Default BMNT Missions dominate career so far

First off - big thumbs up on 4.11, thank you Team D.

I started a new career as a 109 pilot fighting in South Russia, 1941. I have flown 7 missions so far and all but one of them was during BMNT (Before Morning Nautical Twilight). Pre-4.11 days, it was rare to fly during this time but now it is the norm.

Anyone else experiencing this? (looking for confirmation or possible setting change in Conf.ini)

thank you

I'm seeing alot more as well. You can really tell how the AI is effected by the light differences now, maybe its just a sneaky way to show off those advances?

Mission times have nothing to do with the patch. If this is hand made campaign than missions times are what campaign maker set. In case of DGEN campaign ,DGEN engine is reasponsible for mission creation, time is set probably randomly and what you experience is just a coincidence.

The observation of Ralf'N'Cockpit is correct. I noticed the same and I think I can explain it. I guess many have noticed this line in the 4.11 feature list: "Added DGEN mission date workaround". The game is now doing something it hasn't done before, it recognizes not only the time of a DGen mission, but also the date. This means, during early morning DGen missions, which can be as early as 5:00 am, it is now much darker in the autumn and winter month. Before the patch the sun would have been already on the horizon at that time in a DGen mission, no matter if the mission was during the summer or winter month.

I got around this by downloading 3rd party DGEN campaigns from m4t

Even fairly old campaigns seem to work ok

Oh, just a follow up. I understand night mission to a certain extent, but I believe a shortfall to all this is that for the summer time in Russia, BMNT begins around 3am/0300 or there abouts, not 5am / 0500.

Just a thought.
