It's not the MS410, though it should be 406;

"While the 406s were entering service in 1939, an upgrade series was started to improve the design. The result was the M.S.410, which included a stronger wing, simpler fixed radiator in place of the earlier retractable design, four belt-fed MAC guns in place of the earlier two drum-fed weapons, and exhaust ejectors for additional thrust. The added thrust boosted the top speed to 316 mph (509 km/h), an improvement of about 10 mph (16 km/h) over the 406.
Production had just started when France fell, and only five examples had been completed. Production was allowed to continue under German supervision, converting earlier 406s to the 410 standard, but many of these received only the new wings."

Still, DCG still only supports the two stock French squads, fr01 and NN. Shouldn't there really be more French squads in the stock game? I mean, honestly, hasn't the French community requested anything here? Am I missing something again?

However, tried the 410 out, can go anywhere, and with the two squads above comes out as French, but if you try and assign it to any of the other French squads (forgotten countries) they will come out as whatever the previously selected squad ID was, Russian for red or German for blue.

So yes, it's a limitation in DCG, if you look in the squadrons.dcg file there are only these two, new squads don't seem to work. Seems to be still hard-coded in DCG.
On the other hand I've created new gb squads with no limitations, so what's going on? Have to delve a bit deeper.

You can still have multiple squads though, use NN for fighters and fr01 for bombers and assign each squad individually in FMB or timetable.

fr0100 = fr0100 + fr0101 + fr0102 + fr0103 = 4 flights of 3 or 4  (i.e. XX00, XX01, XX02, XX03, squadron 1, flights 1-4)
fr0110 = fr0110 + fr0111 + fr0112 + fr0113
fr0120 ...
fr0130 ...

and the same again for NN using fighters, gives you 8 operational squads, so the Brits will have to fill in the numbers. (and/or use the 3 Dutch squads too?)

I got exactly the same problem than ducon321, that's why I would like to complete this post.
It seems that DCG accept more than 4 squadrons.
Following the above example I tried with <fr0180> for example, and the campaign generates with no problem.
However I didn't test in the game to see wether the squadron spawn with no problem or not.

If this works fine that means that we may use 20 frenches squadrons : fr0100, fr0110, fr0120 ... fr0190 plus same with NN : NN0100 through NN0190.
A bit hacky but better than nothing before an update comes out.

Forget my previous post.
That works very well... only if you like to explode on the runway as soon as the mission starts!

Are there no 20-line configurations for the Judy and the Ki-45 for 3.46? If not then I can't fly these planes in DCG. Also my question is that you said if you add a plane to class.dcg that there can't be any empty space but when I downloaded DCG4DBW there was at least 2 blank lines at the end of that file.

Thanks for putting this dcg for dbw pack. I've got dcg and dbw working together with the instructions (thank you). But I do have a question (and please forgive me if I'm not asking it correctly and with the correct terms because I'm still trying to get my mind around this whole dcg thing).

I was messing (two steps down from expertly playing  ???) with DCG and clicked on generate campaign and got a new DCG campaign in the pilot career in il2, but now I want to delete this dcg campaign. How do I delete it?? I'm searching through lowengrin site and here, but can't seem to find the obvious. Please help...deleting the dcg and dgen campaigns within the missions>campaign>UN folder (it was for USN that I generated the dcg) didn't make the campaign inside il2 go away.

Hi,
Choose the pilot, go to the "Pilot Career" menue of Il-2 and press the "Delete" button!

Thanks for responding Lonestar67. No, that's not where I meant. Sorry that I wasn't clearer. I meant that when I clicked on generate campaign in the DCG program (I didn't quite know what I was doing and didn't quite understand the DCG help ), DCG has generated a new "Player Defined DCG Campaign" in IL2's "New Pilot Career" screen.

This is the "Player Defined DCG Campaign" listed with other campaigns in a drop down menu, on the same screen as the countries drop down menu (in my case USN because I chose USN when I clicked on generate campaign in the DCG program)  in the "New Pilot Career" screen that I hope to delete. How can I delete this?

Thanks again.

Ah, okay!
The files are in your ".../IL-2 Sturmovik 1946/DGen" folder and should look like this for the USN:

campaignsun&.dat
planesun&.dat
squadronsun&.dat

Delete them!

[lam]

That worked! Thank you Lonestar67!
I'm still not understanding the help file... I would not have easily figured that out...how did you know how to do that?

[Cycle]

I was also already been faced with the problem!
One day, I sorted the files in the DGen folder by modified date and found finally these files!

Hello,

I installed DCG for DBW. In files like class, payloads, all payloads are present entries about D4Y's and DO 217E. I also added those planes to files "planeDEQ.dat" and "planeINF.dat" in "Il 2 Sturmovik 1946\IL2DCG\Data\dgen\" and in "Il 2 Sturmovik 1946\dgen\" directories. I can choose those planes on the list on the campaign selection screen. But after starting campaign DCG switching those planes with D3A or FW 200 when mission is created.
Planes are present in DCG in "aircraft class settings panel" but not in "squadron editor panel".
It looks like only those "newer" planes are switched all the time.

Can someone help me, please?
