I have an unfinished Rufe campaign for the Solomons map on my HD, so I like to see the seaplane behaviour fixed too. But I agree that it doesn't have a high priority. First let's iron out the other remaining bugs and finish the final 2.0.0.x version, that is needed to release our current campaign projects. More complicated features can added later.

Sorry guys if it seemed I want Rufe as a priority; I agree that a fully working DGen_MOD, allowing new flyables and maps, is the highest priority. I meant my "special" request to be just added to list of things to do in a future. Glad I'm not alone in considering this unique floatplane (the sole fighter one) worth of an interest.

BTW: Boelcke, in PTO more than one mission a day can be played already with stock Dgen. Limit of one you mention applies only to ETO.

For Asura,

(But others please contribute their views)

It would be nice to have an accurate loadout situation so that we don't have very odd situations like 109G with WfGr in Russia against Bostons.

In particular:

- Yak-1: no rockets used after May 1942
- Yak-1b: no rockets were used.
- Yak-7b: no rockets used after May 1942
- Messer 109G6: Mk108 30mm prop cannon never used by Finns
- Messer 109G6: 30mm cannon wingpods only used by Germans (not Finns, Italy, Rumania or Hungary)
- Messer 109G6: WfGr only used by Germans and only over Germany. Never vs Russians so if enemy=Russia then delete please
- Messer 110: same re WfGr.

I am sure other examples will come up. I don't really know about US planes for example.

Thank you

@Ian
For historically accurate loadouts you can create individual *planes.dat files for every sub-campaign.

@Boelcke
More than one mission per day in ETO campaigns is already possible in the latest DGen version.

Exactly, that's why *planes.dat files are so important. Without them campaigns often result in a mess, anything can pop up.

[Ian Boys]

Is there a file with everything in so we can erase what we don't need or do we have to build each time?

[Ian Boys]

When I look at a dat file in the Dgen folder it has a lot of spaces but allplanes.dat has semi colons. Which do i use?

no, use the plane.dat files for the loadouts in your campaigns

[greybeard]

I would add some flyables to DGen_MOD 2, but included Readme is still that of version 1. What are meanings of parameters in AllPlaneDB.dat which replaced AllPlanes.dat?

Thank you,
