Hello,

I have been enjoying the WAW DGen campaigns but seen a few 'errors' in certain types of available plane to fly. The one I wanted to edit initially is the [DGen-WAW] (AAW) Murmansk BF-110 campaign for the Luftwaffe.

Specifically the 1942 Murmansk start, I wanted to change the usual player a/c from the BF-110G2 to the BF-110E1. I followed user Barkhorn1x's tutorial (which was very helpful) on editing all the required files needed to change/add the player a/c.

This consists of the campaign's .DB, class & Europlane files. I made the necessary changes and any errors I expected to find to my understanding, should have been pink/exploding planes or failed mission starts, I was NOT expecting however, to have my game freeze upon trying to even start the campaign.

I tried and tested for 5 hours and eventually received the same result, a freeze leading to me using the TM to forcibly shut down the game.

As such I came here looking for any assistance or even just a reason for as to why this is occurring.

Below is the log for the campaign trying to initialize and the EDITED files.

I will say that this is my first time trying to edit anything within the game, not looking to make an excuse just a simple "if you're going to yell at me for missing the obvious, know I deserve it because I don't know any better".

Thanks in advance

Please add the log.lst file as well

[EstonianShark]

Apologies Frankie, I can't seem to find this "log.lst" even after searching through my whole il-2 folder for it? Any idea where it is supposed to be?

[Vampire_pilot]

look into your conf.ini
do you even have this entry? Make sure log is 1 and logkeep is 0.
LOGFILE=log.lst



But you do not need that file for this one.

My DGen days are in the far past but it boils down to: It is most likely not possible to get this plane to act as player's choice auto generated.

Dgen is a fickle beast. While you can set any plane as AI plane, players planes are limited. Not sure if the E1 is a modded slot.. after 20 years of modding, who knows. Modded slots are out of the question anyway. The DGen exe contains within itself limitations.

For example, 20 years ago it was set up in a way to only allow certain maps to be used when there's a certain skin file with a specific name present in a certain skin folder. A way to prevent cracking of some payware back then. These coded limitations still apply today. The same way you can't simply add new maps is also the case for player planes. It's simply hard coded limited, end of story, no matter what you write in the editable files.

The best way for you is to have the DGen run with the closest analogue, the G2 I suppose, and select player plane subvariant of your choice in the briefing screen before the mission. That way you get to play 3 or 4 missions and enjoy yourself instead of wasting 5 hours to try and make the DGen exe do something it never will.
