Hi, IJNfan_PL

Maybe I can help you a bit.

First of all.. NO PANIC! 

Follow my steps and it should work as you like.

1.Make sure you have the DO-217 & D4Y`s installed in DBW and flyable....Check!

2.Get a working copy of DCG 3.47 beta6 (get it here,if you dont have it: https://www.mediafire.com/?h3rhhfgc483xw6v) Install as usual....Check!

3.Download Slink`s complete pack from the first page and copy the Date & Masters files into DCG,say yes to override....Check!

4.Inside the Data folder you wil found a small text file,called "ClassExtra" this is the important part,cause Slink`s pack was made to work with the standard DBW 1.7.1. and this "ClassExtra" file provided the entrys for many additional planes.(there is a little help text inside!)

5.Take the needed entrys from this text file and copy it into the main class file.But please take care and make sure you DO NOT LEAVE AN EMPTY LINE AT THE END OF CLASS.DCG. Save and you are ready to generate the next campaign successfully. (and..SET PAYLOADS ON DCG CONTROL PANEL AFTER INSTALLING! if needed)

6.Thats it!! You dont have to edit anything in the DGen files or things like that,this is DCG and not DGen.
Here,the things are a bit easyer...(I hope so )

I hope I could help you a bit.

Cheers. Semor

Hello Semor,

Step by step I did all what you recommended. Still I cant' choose in squadron panel those planes and still DCG is replacing those planes.
So is it now time to panic?

Hi,
Matches the period of the aircraft with the campaign (Aircraft class setting: Start and End Year/Month)?
Also set the "Down- and Upgrade" option to none of those aircraft!
To have in the first mission no other aircraft type, you must also change the class name of the standard aircrafts in the .mis file of that campaign with the new one! They are included in the "Masters" folder of DCG! But before make a safe copy of that folder!

[IJNfan_PL]

Hello,

Nothing works. 
It seems that I can only manually change those planes in FMB in the missions generated by DCG...

Hi, I have a strange problem with DCG... I'm playing Palau 1944 in F-4U1A with these packs and everytime I start mission (which is usally tank busting/destroying convoy. Everytime I start the mission I almost instantly (about 30 seconds into mission) get "Mission Failed" messege. I checked that mission in FMB and it looks fine, there is only one primary target (destroy) aimed at existing target with no timeout set - the same setting normally works everytime, so the game is not broken. Any idea what's wrong here?

NOTE: I replaced the carrier I start mission on (US Generic CV) with modded one (USS Yorktown CV10 1944) before generating the campaign. It produced some Access Violation error, which is annoying as it pops up everytime I launch DCG, but it doesn't seem to break anything. I use DGen replacement and Auto Generation modes.

EDIT: Something strange that didn't happen when I previously generated this campaign - campaign victory condition is none for both sides.

Hi,
Its not really necessary for this campaign to have victory conditions! The Japanese have only one regular airfield in this campaign, so if the american capture this field, the winner will be the red party!
And the other way, when the american lost both of their carriers, the Japanese will win this campaign!
Your message problem is really strange! Which options have you activated in DCG?
When you uncheck "Primary objectives" works all as normal?
Maybe it has something to do with the "No instant success" option in IL-2?
Sorry, more questions then answers!

1. When I generated this campaign previously the victory condition was to take Ngebescus point.

2. My dcg.ini (after few test I've just done, though settings are back as they were when error happened):

3. Yup

4. Maybe, I left it turned off.

Now for the mindf**k:
1. I tried launching those missions through FMB and they worked fine.
2. I generated this campaign at seperate account with all possible "Primary Objective" and "No instant success" combinations (both off, both on, first off, second off), each time I skipped the first mission (except both on) right at the beginning, before any messege appeared. All worked fine.
3. I also generated campaign with exactly the same settings and it worked fine.
4. There are only 2 differences between broken campaign and other generations:
    I: in broken one for some reason I was chosen leader of flight no. 1 (and all 12 planes) in every missions (having captains under my command as 1st lieutnant). However I was also leader in FMB tests and it worked fine...
    II: in broken campaign I changed ammount of fuel in my flights from 100% to 75% during campaign in DCG window, though I think it was after the problem first appeared.

What do you think? Maybe I should simply restart the campaign?

I would say, go back to the roots! Deactivate all additional mods (also Slinks DCG files) for your DBW/DCG installation, back to your standard carrier, then reinstall completly DCG and try it again!
When it works, add your mods one by one to see, if you get stuck! Of course only an advice!
I have tested your configs in my DCG installation with this campaign and had no problems!

As I said, I didn't have problems either, when I generated campaign for second time. I also tried reinstalling DCG. Anyway, I'm gonna try simply restarting campaign. Maybe it was a single error. Too bad I'll lose my kills though...

[RealDarko]

How can I make the modded planes appear as selectable in Squadron editor? Currently only il2 vanilla planes appear on the plane list.

[electroman]
