dutchman Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 I played the Pegasus Bridge scenario and my graphics did not show a night time situation. Do I have a setting wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load the original CD version into the games scenario editor, and change the setting in parameters to night, that should fix it.Or,you can go to the Rugged defense website and download the revised version.Or , I can mail you a revised version when I get home.How's that for trying to correct the problem ??? If all this fails,and you still see no night, it may be a video card issue. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchman Posted August 1, 2000 Author Share Posted August 1, 2000 I was using the orginal CD version, however I was not aware that you could edit/change the settings of the game. Just started exploring CM...there is so much to know. Thanks a bunch. Will try it out tonight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 I've been wondering about this too. 1) It's not at night 2) The hill supposed to represent the water tower didn't seem to be there. Not like I've lost any sleep over it, though =) David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try it out tonight....<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Glad to help,hitorically most of the action took place at early dawn.I remember pondering whether it should be a day or night scenario when designing it, but can't remember 100% what I decided.I think at the time I was of a mind to make it nighttime for the sake of LOS and a more interesting battle,but forgot to change the setting to nighttime after playtesting.I also remember,however, thinking that by the time they landed on the ground [ taking into account when they left and how far they flew]it was awfully close to daylight anyway.This is what happens as you age, the mind gradually turns to lumpy oatmeal with no sugar added .At any rate, most likely the scenario should historically be set at night, so I've offered a corrected version at the Rugged Defense website.If you have more questions, just holler in my direction !

dutchman Posted August 1, 2000 Author Share Posted August 1, 2000 I think you did a fantastic job designing the scenario Dick. I just finished reading a book about the bridge and was anxious to play the game and see how close to "real" it would play. Except for the night thing ( I believe they landed before 0100 and the whole thing was over in 15 minutes or so. The counter attacks went on through the night and the next day.) I was most impressed how the 2 tanks never made an attempt to pass the T junction of the two roads.( at least my game ). Historically well represented. The author of the book explained had they made the correct decision with the tanks and attacked the bridge area the Germans most certainly would of regained contol of the bridge. Most everything else was historically correct as far as I could tell. The book mentioned a nasty German sniper that caused a bunch of problems and the fact that the British actually used the 75mm AT gun after they took the bridge. Anyway, thanks for the pleasure of playing out a historically well presented scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grognerd_Fogman Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 I jus changed the scenario to a night battle with the editor. Took me a while to find it as I was looking for a "Pegasus Bridge" file...lol. Then I went to the description an noticed it's Ham-N-Jam. Nice work DR.
