Question: Trigger activated by mission date possible? (updated, 2 test missions)

[kraut1]

Hi,

I have a small question:

Is it possible to create a "Trigger" that is activated if the mission date is after date xx.xx.194x and before yy.yy.194y?

or if this is to complex:

a "Trigger" that is activated if the mission date is equal date xx.xx.194x?

I want to create some extra battles by spawning some planes / vehicles / objects in the Vanders EMG templates Radar_[front] groups.

Thanks in advance

UPDATED:

I tried the Trigger "Date Time" but regardless if the date of the timer is the mission date or not the planes are spawned (activated).

The 2 attached test missions are the same, only the date in the trigger is in one mission the same as the mission date and in the other 1 day before mission date.

The MCU Date Time is working perfectly and logically.

 

If you set the Date Mark then it is the date that will cause the trigger.

In your example you have a date 24.08.1942 which is previous by one day to the mission date 25.08.1942.

This means that the date has already passed as it is in the past so the MCU will immediately trigger.

If you put one day in the future say 26.08.1942 then it will trigger a day later.

Same logic for Time mark.

I also use Sunrise and Sunset to switch on lights in hangars or lit fires to delimit runways, and they work perfectly.

Thanks for your help!

And now the date range for activation of the planes from 26th August to 28th August works too:
