over the years as i played this game i have noticed its tendency to not spawn groups after certain dates, like September 1.

September 1 is the starting effective date of the traffic files....convoys and task forces.
I think that SH4 gets itself lost when the player is on a career-mission and that date passes. traffic seems to disappear. i say again: this is an SH4 issue not a modder issue.

i can't prove anything but it sure seems to be true over thousands of missions.

anyway, nice patrol log. i wonder how you have time and consciousness to keep a detailed log while you are playing the game and then living Real Life as well, with all of its "distractions".
