Hi again Motorhead. Further to my previous email I downloaded the Russian manual for DGen pack v3.0. It does state Il2 4.14.1 and 4.13.4 but I cant understand in what context. Are the 40 parts of V3.0 in Russian or English. I read somewhere that Asura has an EXE line that translates the parts into English. Any advice appreciated.

1. Install IL-2 4.14.1.
2. Remove DGen folder from game directory.
3. Install 40 part DGenMOD V.3.0 Full.
4. Download and install Aircraft Selector fix

5. Open conf.ini and add/edit parameters
    [rts] section
    locale=en
    [DGen] section
    UseAsuraDGen=1

Thank you for your quick reply vch34278. I will follow what you say.
Do I need jsgme or mod activator installed or is that part of the v3.0 download.

[larschance]

There are two DGen folders in my directory plus the application. Do I remove all three or just the first folder.

[vch34278]

You are trying to upgrade version 2.1 to 3.0. Did I understand you correctly?

[larschance]

No. I am starting from a stock game with no Dgen Modpack.

[vch34278]

There are two DGen folders in my directory...

It can not be.

...plus the application.

With parameter UseAsuraDGen=1 in conf.ini stock DGen.exe not work. You may remove it if you want.

No. I am starting from a stock game with no Dgen Modpack.

With the stock game you need to download the 4.14.1 patch, patch your 4.13.4 version to 4.14.1, then download all 40 parts of the dgen 3.0 full version, or wait for torrent, then run the exe to extract all 40 parts to your 4.14.1 install. Get the selector hotfix off their website, and then enjoy. Some of the best dynamic/premade campaigns out right now. Motorheads a god.

Thanks vch342278 and JonRedcorn. I have successfully done as you advised and have flown a QMB or two to test. It flies fine and I am looking forward to being shot down in new campaigns. lol.
Two points of note so far.
1. the aircraft engine sound occurs on external views but not within the cockpit, even in a muffled way.
2. Some of the maps such as 1943 Russia have square edges to the woods and forests. i.e. not as natural as other maps.
3. A question  of other mods - can I add Whistlers NGHUD3.2 via jsgme as I have done with stock 4.14.1 or will this interfere with Modpack3.0 set up.
Anyway thanks again for quick and efficient advice. Wonderful.

1.Do you have file IL-2 directory/#DGEN_SFS/DGEN_SOUND.SFS?
3.Via jsgme? I don’t think it will work out. Mod folder names are different. Try to install manually. Or use new DGen interface. In conf.ini [Mods] section add this
DGenPACKHUD=1 (Activate new hud)
DGenPACKHelp=1 (Optional)
EnMessage=1 (Opnional. Use if messages in Russian)

[larschance]

Hi vch34278. I checked the folder you advised and did not find DGEN_SOUND.SFS
I managed to get NGHUD to work in the stock 4.14.1 via jsgme. I will try a manual install as you suggest after solving the sound issue.

[vch34278]

I checked the folder you advised and did not find DGEN_SOUND.SFS

Try to put this SFS
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ugi8D1jJoQFSlMVFB1e1x3uhghMKW5_o/view?usp=sharing
to #DGEN_SFS folder.
If it does not help, we will have to wait for a fix from Asura.
