Thanks Semor, it does work, already been downloaded, but maybe not for everybody. Added a mediafire link too just in case anyone has problems.

[Semor]

This is what I called a cool service! 
Thanx mate and have a nice evening/weekend.

Almost Semor, new updated download to fix some payload data in the 346 version...
Should not go boom now if you change a loadout to one of those few I gross negligently omitted to cut out at the end of the list (learn to scroll properly man...)
The defaults in payloads.dcg are OK, but should avoid some unpleasant surprises. If you already downloaded you can always manually count any over twenty characters (at the end of the allpayloads.dcg list) and cut them out. Unfortunately all the turret_as_gunpod loadouts for the P61 are gone... but there's always 347... 

1936 data for the new planes recently released en mass: this can be done if there's demand, but not overnight though!
Thought of making separate versions to keep the lists shorter;

1916 (when the big update comes out)
1936 (with all the new old planes for the period)
1946 (WW2 up to 1946, inc the new packs coming out)
1956 (postwar planes)

since flying as the Red Baron against an F4E can easily be done in QMB, but is it really necessary in DCG!?
The other side of the coin is having everything in one install and not having to swap, although it would be easy to do in jsgme.
Thoughts?

First, Since your the one doing all the work, Which way is easier to build?

If it's all the same, then I would personally prefer an all in one pack, would make building those 'cross era' campaigns easier, like a spanish civil war campaign, or an early korea.

If it's easier on you to build it as a JSGME multipack install, then I'd break it out like this:
1916 to 1936
1936 to 1946
1947 to present(latest planes released so far)

Hiya there Slink. Hope all is well. Good stuff ya doing here as usual. hehe.  Big question here. I was trying to play the DCG Battle of Midway 1942 and I got the " all planes crashed and the giant pink floating plane in the middle of my screen. I've seen this before with the B-26 and that was because at that current time, it wasn't in the class.dcg or allpayloads.dcg files. I believe the guilty culprit is the PBY-5. It's not listed nor mentioned in any future involvement in DCG. The PBN is all in there but nothing for the PBY. Anything happening with that? I reinstalled DCG because it became corrupted which has happened before. I blamed it on beta6 so i wiped the install and dropped back to beta4. I haven't heard hardly any feedback on beta 6 from anyone except for coop and DF servers. I'm not running the newest DCG4DBW in fear that I might hit a wall again. I'm a fiend and I handle my DCG like a newborn baby hehe. I'm sure you understand lol. Okies thanks for any incite. S!

Ok I'm completely drained of this already. This way to run 3rd party campaigns does not work for me:


In the 3rd Party Campaigns Download Section of this website, you can find a number of campaigns designed by DCG enthusiasts. Most 3rd Party Campaigns can be installed following these simple instructions.

1. Download the campaign to your computer.
2. Unzip the contents of the download into a new folder within your main IL2DCG installation. (To do this, either create a new folder or make sure your unzip software creates a folder when decompressing the files).
3. If the contents of the download included a folder called DGEN, copy these files over to your game's DGEN folder. Note: be very careful about overwriting files in your DGEN folder as they may prohibit your from starting other DCG or DGEN campaigns. In fact, you may want to make a backup of this folder before adding 3rd Party Campaign files. There may be other files that need to be copied at this time. Consult the readme that accompanies the download for more information.
4. Run IL2DCG.
5. Under Files select Optional 3rd Party Data Folder. Browse to the campaign you wish to start and select the allcampaigns.dcg file to activate it.
6. If you wish to run a Career (DGen Replace Mode) campaign or On-line Campaign (NGen Replace Mode), check these now. If they are checked already, uncheck them and recheck them.

At this point, you should be able to run the 3rd Party Campaign just like any "stock" campaign. Please refer to the article on Modes for more information on running DCG in various methods of running DCG campaigns.


I have to go into the optional 3rd party campaign folder, open the campaign i want to run, select allcampaigns and then click run, then generate a campaign which then will give me the campaign i selected listed in the window with cooresponding nation. Then I have to singuraly decide which sub campaign i want to Choose. it's like WTF happened to the grand campaign?!!?!?!?! This has been happening over and over and over to the point that it's annoying. this is my second time uninstalling dcg and all it's thousands of files. what the hell am i doing wrong? None of my 3rd party campaigns run correctly unless i do this bootleg way of getting them to run unless out of 20 DCG campaigns, only 3 work. All these new changes are too much. Damn i got a headache lol. nite all.

Hiya Chaney, you're right, the PBY no longer exists and I missed it, along with the C47_A/B as it turns out... have to update...

[garbage removed, I'm taking an obviously needed break... ]

Hiya Chaney, you're right, the PBY no longer exists and I missed it, along with the C47_A/B as it turns out... have to update...

That's is however the basic reason for the confusion, in that 3rd party campaigns can come in both forms but are not usually labelled to show which type they are. It's stated in the readme of course, but not always completely clearly, so if you're not really aware of the difference you might end up wondering why some don't work as per Paul's instructions and some do...

Thanks for the info on the PBY. I thought I was slowly losin it lol. Also, I understand that some campaigns need to be generated certain ways but even Lonestar's wonderful campaigns require a lil more than just clicking "start". Often I click generate and then start and the "start" radio button come unclicked and nothing happens. I thought this was for reasons of the grAnd campaign. What I believe is happening here is a conflict between DCG and the old campaigns. Some of these campaigns been around for ages and in the last few months, we have exploded with better everything. well, i will try again and if it dont act right, i will uninstall and start over. i'm good at one thing at least and that's uninstalling lol.

Hiya Lonestar and hi Gerhard. Once you go DCG, you will never return. It's highly addicting. Same with DBW. Hey Lonestar, ever thought about doing a PTO with the japanese attack on Russia? My wife is Russian and from Khabarovsk which is far east Russia. She says while growing up, history classes told of the attacks on her city by the Japanese. I haven't really researched this much but I'm sure ready to! Maybe we can work on this together although I know you are very busy. This could be neat. I think somewhere there may be a campaign (not DCG) that is a Japanese attack on  Russia. My wife thinks I'm insane for playing this game but she would be falling out of the chair laughing if she saw me in a Yak fighting the IJN. She has translated MANY IL2 Russian websites and actually audio. Especially when I watched the Oleg interviews hehe. She just thinks this game is ridiculous is why lol. You are the reason I even play this game. PTO is the only thing I ever want to fly and you have covered about every major timeset in the Pacific war. Good stuff m8. Cheers!

Oh yeah, where in the world is the 5thAAF in this game and especially the B-25 skip bombing raids they did on IJN shipping?

Friends, I apologize if this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find a solid answer to this searching the forums.

In short, is it possible to utilize any of the outstanding new maps in a dynamic campaign using DCG and these updated DBW files?  If so, can someone tell me how to go about doing it?  I've got some of DCG figured out running as a dgen replacement and standalone, but that's about it.
