contrary to what I had reported already, these campaigns do not work on BAT WAW 3.8.3.
I do not even get a DGen.log to trace any errors after trying to generate a campaign;
also, after browsing through the files, why is there BF-110s and AR-196s in, as well as I-185s?
please take this as constructive criticism, but with a planeset like this, this is hardly "enhanced" but it seems like this comes from an old time, when many japanese planes were not available and had to be substituted with standins...hardly a good choice nowadays though...
so for me, this campaign will disappear from my install, as I dont want to waste time getting something to run that then features unhistoric planes appear....

So who pissed in your cornflakes?  Geez.

That stated:
- This revised campaign was released when BAT 3.6 was the latest version and it did work then.
- I am in the midst of revising again so it will work for BAT 3.8.2 - making progress - should be done by next week.
- The campaign is an enhancement of work done by others some years ago - I never claimed otherwise.
- Now, about those non-Japanese planes:

    1. The Bf110 entry appears in the class file.  It is a holdover from another DGEN USN campaign and is meaningless to this campaign as it does not appear elsewhere.  I will remove it from the class file for my revision
     2. The Arado AR-196 is stand in for the Aichi E-13A "Jake" floatplane.  As comprehensive as the BAT plane set is there is still no Jake. Or even an F1M "Pete".  The AR looks very much like a Jake, performs the same function and has an IJN skin, so the AR will stay.
     3. I-185 I could not find at all and don't recall it being included in any case.  If you happen to remember where you saw it please let me know.

OK found the I-185 entry on the PacificPlanes.DB.  This was not added by me and probably was a stand in for the A5M4 "Claude".  So it has no bearing on my campaign revision.

Hello!

yea I know my post sounded rather rude but was not meant personally, if it sounded like that, please accept my apologies...
its good to read that you are updating that pack and I really hope it will work then, as good USN campaigns are always rare to come by...
may I suggest to integrate the late war Corsairs into any rework too? the F4U-4 saw service towards the end of the war and might therefor be a better choice than
the F8F, because if you go into the what-if territory of a war that heads into 1946, there would be some more things to integrate as well to make the scenario plausible again..

from previous modded versions of the game, I know that messing with the DGen files with regard to modded planes might be tricky so working on files that are literally over ten years old and introduce new planes to a really very old program (DGen) might not work at all sometimes;
Best of luck for that as said...
do you know the old TruePacific campaign set? that might be a good base to work from to create a rather larger PTO based DGen set away from the stock content that is rather limited, due to its age....

and again, please take my apologies for sounding rude, that was unintentional....

[Barkhorn1x]

Ahh...no offense really taken.

I could not get the F8F Bearcat to work.  Tried EVERY permutation of file change I could think of.  Oh well.
I will work on adding the F4U-4.
And I did find the E13A Jake & the FM1 Pete.  Forgot that the air file had a dedicated seaplane section (!). So, adding those and removing the Arado.

Stay tuned.

[Griffon_301]

great!

btw thats what I meant ... modded planes seem to not like being added to DGen that easily; IIRC thats why Asura was starting work on modding DGen.exe in the first place....

if you deliver an new PacificPlanes.DB, it would make a lot of sense to NOT edit something out of it.
It's an overhead file and editing stuff out may have negative effects on other campaigns. Make your additions but do not delete entries.

Yes, understood and will do.

[Barkhorn1x]

OK - no joy on the F4U-4.  Same issues as adding the F8F.   Sigh.   

Ahh..well. DGen is weird that way.

Anyway;
     -  I added some planes to the DBs.
     -  And to the PacificPlanes file.
     -  I'm testing what I got.
     -  All works so far.

...so stay tuned.
