I have taken the liberty to update Lowengrin's DCG Class.dcg, Allpayloads.dcg and Payloads.dcg. These files would only be useful for those that use DCG, so if you don't know what these files are for - you don't need them. Also included is a batch file that will create all the skin folders for the aircraft (964) in class.dcg. Place the .bat file in your main IL-2 folder and run it. You can click on edit to see what folders are being created. This batch file will not over write any folder you already have.

Note:

• The start of service and upgrade dates of each aircraft and their replacements have to be set by the campaign builder.
  
• Some aircraft don't have entries in the weapons.properties file, so I set those to default. You can change the armament in game if you set Squadron Management
  
• If you find any errors - feel free and fix them if you can or shoot me a message here and I will fix in the next big WOW release.
  

- Removed because sniperton's tool is much better at generating these files.

Special Thanks To:

Oleg and his team for this game we all love
SAS Team and other modder for keeping the dream alive
Lowengirn for a wonderful campaign generator
The Skinners for the eye candy and the historic touch
Towlyn for the code used for the batch file
WWWindwalker for the idea to use the batch file to create the skin folders
The DCG Campaign builders for keeping the game fun
...and to everyone else that has made this possible.

Thanks so much! That must have taken some grind in notepad/excel. Really appreciate you sharing your work!

[sniperton]

Huge work done, much appreciated!!

My pleasure gents! It was nothing some LEN, TRIM, CLEAN, INDEX,MATCH, VLOOKUP couldn't solve all it took was time. I will get to the armor and ships ASAP.Just an FYI, I use Notepad++ it's awesome! The last time I went down this endeavor I had to figure out the column widths by trail and error what was so frustrating. With Notepad++ just open up the .dcg file and highlight the column to get the width length and match it in Excel and save each file as a .prn then rename to .dcg

Very clever. This will be extremely useful, thanks.

Yes, np++ is very handy indeed.

Here's the allpaints.dcg and squadids.dcg updated for 4.12.2 and CUP-WAW19.

I'm also working on armor.dcg, gobjects.dcg and gunits.dcg. Will be interesting to compare the finished products.

Super fantastic! As a old user of DCG I have been missing the possibility to use it for the newer installments of the game! THX a million for your work! (along with the THX for all the montys and teams efforts!)

Thanks again for your work, X_man!
Important groundwork, will make DCG campaign building for CUP much easier!

thanks for this, super effort! I really like how you included a batch file to create the skins folders

Hi Moezilla - Question? Did you ever get chance to work on the shipnames, armor.dcg, gobjects.dcg and gunits.dcg? Just wondering

[Moezilla]

Didn't you get my PM, I sent it a couple of weeks back?
