Weather

ACE Weather extends the existing weather with:

• Advanced simulation of air temperature.

ACE Weather adds the following measurement tools:

• Toggleable display for showing information about wind direction and strength
• Kacetrel 4500 pocket weather meter in arsenal.

Usage

Show Wind Info

• Toggle wind info display with Show wind info keybind in ACE category (Default: Shift+K).
• The wind direction and strength are indicated by a wind barb in the top left corner.

Settings

Summary of settings that can be modified in the server config:

Field	Value	Description
m_bAirTemperatureSimulationEnabled	Type: bool Default: true	Whether advanced simulation of air temperature should be run.

Template for the missionHeader in a server config:

"missionHeader": {
    "m_ACE_Settings": {
        "m_ACE_Weather": {
             "m_bAirTemperatureSimulationEnabled": true
        }
    }
}

Modded Terrain Support

Air Temperature Simulation

ACE Weather adds the following attributes to the TimeAndWeatherManagerEntity that can be used for adjusting the simulation to a particular terrain:

• m_aACE_MonthlyAverageTemperatureAirMaxHours - Average hour of the day at which peak air temperature occurs per month in 24 h format.
• m_aACE_MonthlyAverageDailyTemperatureAirMins - Average daily minimum air temperature for each month in Kelvin
• m_aACE_MonthlyAverageDailyTemperatureAirMaxs - Average daily maximum air temperature for each month in Kelvin

Data can, for instance, be obtained from Open-Meteo, which was also used for the vanilla terrains:

• Default → Basel (CH)
• Everon/Arland → Groix (FR)
• Kolguyev → Inishtooskert (IE)
