Thanks to BAT, I started playing with IL2 for the first time in a long time and have a lot of things to do on the new plane!
I'm looking forward to having more options, especially in relation to missions!
I downloaded the DCG campaign and have been playing with it, but I want to improve some things and I want to do some missions like this, but nobody has made them yet.

I want to add an airfield to the Kyushu campaign in DCG.
Currently, the only airfields that can be selected for the Kyushu Campaign in DCG are the three airfields in northern Kyushu: Ashiya, Gannosu, and Omura.
However, I would like to create a mission in which the aircraft take off from airfields in southern Kyushu, such as Kanoya and Chiran, which are located in the southern part of the map, and intercept US Navy aircraft coming from the direction of Okinawa.
I would like to know what I have to do in DCG for this.

The second idea is a battle between the US fleet in the waters around Okinawa and Japanese aircraft in the Kagoshima and Miyazaki areas, based on the B29Alley map.
In this case, there are more things to remember, such as the movements of the ships...

The only thing I have done with DCG is adding airplanes and ships, so I have no knowledge of how to add airfields to DCG that exist on the map but cannot be selected in DCG, or how to create a campaign...
Last but not least, I do not speak English, so I relied on a translation tool to create this text.
Please forgive me if there are some mistakes in the text.

Thank you for reading this far!

Welcome to the world of BAT and DCG

To add airfields (or other land locations) you need to add them to .rds file.

There is an old, but still mostly valid tutorial to DCG : https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,50725.msg553622.html#msg553622

Creating campaigns in DCG is not very difficult, but the learning curve is quite steep. Read the tutorial and feel free to ask for advice.

Thanks Shakaali!

I have to start with understanding English with translation software, but I'll do my best!

I also downloaded your DCG campaign!
I will play it when I have time!
Thank you very much for making several campaigns with IJN and IJA!

I made a prototype and when I tried to load it in DCG, I got the error message in the attached image

Check the files you created. There is an error in one of them, don't know which one. PM me if you can't find the error.
