Unfortunately, this will not work either, the codes for the nations WWI and WWII should be different

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

Roger....no problem.....so if you confirm your WWI country code I can edit the files in the next future....

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

Rethinking about....if on different nations the mods can be compatible also with BAT....and don't  need a dedicated DOF collocation....so I have to rebuild my files....

Asura can you please check at least the compatibility codes with BAT and it's forgotten countries list?

[Asura]

It makes no sense to check the codes. The Mode of Nations for DGen will completely replace the existing BAT nations and can be used with any part.

[Asura]

I haven't updated the generator in a while, but it's time...

I introduce version 2.1.0.0 allowing you to realize almost any mission possible in the game. COMPLETE instructions for creating campaigns. The data files are compatible with 4.14.1.

Many thanks for the new version Asura!

There are some nice new features in this new version. 

I've used it in 4.12 without any problems! 

Best regards

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

I'M A DONKEY!

I wrote here with Asura a lot in the past , I also find the download link for his new DGen verion right here and while downloading it I went to Aviaskin to get the new Pack 3.1 and after this I forgot all about this tread!

Maybe after the Covid my brain is slower and smemored than I think ....

So....first and above all my deepest apologize to Asura because I haven't thank him for this new DGen version!

I have installed the 3.1 pack and the updated Campaign pack and find all very good and without any issue in my test flights!

I was looking at the 'manual' (thanks to vonOben for his wonderful translation!!!!) and discover the amazing new features that Asura have implemended!!!

Stunning and Amazing!

I can't belive that we could set such high level of customization while developing a campaign!

I'm starting a project for a small campaign to implement the still few mission and campaign available for interwar aircrafts and a learning tread to discuss what is a DGen campaign development from scratch....maybe someone can be also intrigued in such building and exploitation of such amazing degree of customization!

Now...my question....( https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,67871.msg741764.html#msg741764 )

I'm creating the AllPlane and AllClasses databases....

About the first no doubts....really I had a doubt....but I solved it!

About the second I need some information:

1) Where I can got the fmRange fmCruise Speed and fmFuelMass values?

2) Are correct my drop tank fuel calculation:

At the end of this string I should add 6 values….

SM_S62;Allies;1;SpainRep;SpainNat;none;1;HyPatrol;HyRecon;none;none;none;none;none;none;

Those missing values are:

- First 3 missing are the point one question subject:

fmRange
fmCruise Speed
fmFuelMass

- Last 3 missing are for Drop Tank Fuel (in liters).

DT1fuel
DT2fuel
DT3fuel

I have to simply indicate them from the results in the weapon_ru file?

The SM.62 doesn't have drop tanks so I simply add at the last 3 entries 0;0;0;

BUT FOR EXAMPLE

If I have:

EXPLANEAIRINI.1xdt                               1x 75gal Droptank (that if converted in liters from US gal became 283,90 liters)

I have to add 280;0;0 because he have only one kind of DT loadout….

AND

If I have:

EXPLANEAIRINI.1xdt                               1x 75gal Droptank (that if converted in liters from US gal became 283,90 liters)
EXPLANEAIRINI.2xdt                               2x 75gal Droptank (that if converted in liters from US gal became 567,80 liters)

I have to add 280;560;0 because he have two kind of DT loadout….

AND

If I have:

EXPLANEAIRINI.1xdt50                           1x 50gal Droptank (that if converted in liters from US gal became 189,27 liters)
EXPLANEAIRINI.1xdt                               1x 75gal Droptank (that if converted in liters from US gal became 283,90 liters)
EXPLANEAIRINI.2xdt                               2x 75gal Droptank (that if converted in liters from US gal became 567,80 liters)

I have to add 180;280;560 because he have three kind of DT loadout….

Thanks in advance for your help and reply!

And THANKS again for this new DGen version , the DGen Pack 3.1 and the manuals english translation!

[Asura]

Maybe after the Covid my brain is slower and smemored than I think ....

The main thing is that everything is fine now!

1) Where I can got the fmRange fmCruise Speed and fmFuelMass values?

I usually take this data from FM files. In addition, the range can be set according to the aircraft documentation (approximately), the speed is the same as the speed that will be set at the points of the route (also approximately). But fuel data needs to be taken from FM. This parameter

[Mass]
  Empty 11321
  TakeOff 27500.0
  Oil 50.0
  Fuel 4990.0

2) Are correct my drop tank fuel calculation:

You counted everything correctly and pointed out in the examples. Fuel data is used to calculate the combat radius in which the generator searches for targets for the mission.

The AllPlaneDB.dat file populates the tank volume data. And the file AllWeapons.dat indicates which tank will be used with this weapon (parameters LR1, LR2, LR3)

At the end of this string I should add 6 values….

SM_S62;Allies;1;SpainRep;SpainNat;none;1;HyPatrol;HyRecon;none;none;none;none;none;none;

That's right.

I added my xls file that has data for AllPlanes and AllWeapons. This file is replenished, I will periodically update it.

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

Thanks a lot for your explanation...very clear...and thanks for this link about the value....priceless!

Now I have understand all and I can proceed with the files development!

Thanks a lot for your help and your support in my work!

Hello Asura, not sure if you're still around but here goes.

Will this new version of DGen_mod work with the campaigns from the DGen patch for BAT? I asked this in the BAT forums, but the responses prompted me to ask someone who was an expert on DGen_mod and who better than the creator?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

In general, the generator does not care which version of the game to work with. The main problem will be according to the files AllClasses.dat, AllPlaneDB.dat, AllWeapons.dat and AllWing.dat. All names must correspond to BAT names.

These All(name).dat files are overwritten by the episode specific dat files right?
