This scenario has also been designed and tested with the AP Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack 2.0 and ChiefJack’s AP Sky Accurate Time of Day patch in-mind. Whilst not essential, having all these installed will provide the most accurate weather and lighting conditions as of the date/time the scenario is set.

NOTES:

~ Part 1 of this scenario is considerably resource intensive. To mitigate dumps, you must first run the included “1D80 Pt.1 PRELOAD” standard scenario first, allowing the game to load up the scenery dense map tiles between Birmingham and Wolverhampton. If issues persist, consider lowering your graphics settings.
