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.
