Hi gents

I justed wanted to pipe in regarding the skins folder. Yes, if you do not have the E3 or the Hurricane_Bob skin in your paintschemes\skins folder then you won't be able to fly those two a/c in the DCG nor will you see any AI using either model.

It happened to me. Only after creating those two folders (even though they are empty) could I allocate those two types to a squadron within DCG's squadron editor. Now I get blown out of the sky by E3s on regular occasions.

As to the campaign itself. Good stuff. I'm running over 200 aircraft with a combat radius of 150km sleeky smooth maxed with plutonium / gear damage and loads of other goodies from the modding gods. Awesome immersion for a 10 year old game.

Question. Is there any way of upping the amount of AAA within DCG? I haven't found any settings.

IMHO this and the 352nd map would be just über. The 1:1 ratio would also help my survival rate because jerry wouldn't be able to linger over blighty as long.

Cheers

Hi,
Yes, the campaign of both versions has not the best balance!
I think, the 109 is in this sim better then it was in reallity!
I personally set the AI of the english Pilots on Ace and the germans to average or veteran before I play a campaign!
To your question:
Open the .mis files (Bob1.mis, etc.) of every sub-campaign in FMB and you can adjust the amount of the AAA to your wishes!
Hope it helps!

Hi Lonestar67

Thanks for the feedback. I'll do the editing within the FMB.

And I like the fact that it isn't balanced but more "historic" in nature. It forces me to fly the thinking fight just as one would do on online servers. The problem is the AI squadies rushing gung ho headlessly into the frey with complete disregard for each other. But, that's always been a problem of the game and there's not much one can do about it. I accept that fact with the hope that SOW (or even 4.10) will be better in this regard.

Anyway, thanks for letting us enjoy the BoB witin DCG.  :)

Cheers

Hi,
I dont know , it should work without to make changes to any DGen files! But try it!

Actually the problem is for players who installed EnjoyR patches for DGen, the German slots are already taken.

To your question:
Make an experiment, take the "Bf-109E-3" folder from your Skins folder out and generate afterwards a new Luftwaffe fighter campaign! Choose the 109E3 for the first mission!
I suppose, DCG will give you instead the BF-110 for the campaign!

OK thank you


I just installed and tried; no problem to generate missions for the RAF, however missions do not load because I get squadrons errors, e.g. "RAF_238 squadron not found".

Actually I don't have this squadron on my install, and even after editing your squadronGB*.dat and squadids.dcg files, I get these in the missions and they don't load. What happens? Please help me how to correct this issue with available squadrons. I am using the UP version, checked my squadrons list (regiments.ini) and realized some squadrons of your lists are not included in the regiments.ini, nevertheless I don't understand how to sort this out...

Sorry, no idea . . . In which folder is the regiments.ini?

EDIT: When you make changes to the squadronGBA.dat and squadids.dcg of this campaign, you must also change the squadrons for the flights in the Bob1.mis, Bob2.mis etc.! Maybe a solution for you is, to take only the squadrons, that are included in the squadids.dcg of the "IL2DCG/Data" folder!
Hope it helps!

OK, thanks for the help to understand the mechanics of DCG with the .mis files, I had not looked at them. In fact I found a simple solution: I added the missing squadrons to my regiments.ini file, which I have in Files/PaintSchemes. I guess I got this file from a separate mod, I don't remember. My install is UP 2.01 personalized with many mods...

After adding the missing squadrons to the regiments.ini, no problems, missions load and I can try your campaigns, thanks a lot! :)

Hi,
Try to restart this campaign with a clean UP 2.01 without any additional mods! When it works, add your additional mods one by one into your Mods folder!

You must have the mod enabling departing from a parking: disable it.

Check further, maybe with the name of the java class of this mod (I don't have it with me sorry). The symptom you experience is typical of this, if you explode on the ground before take-off.

You may also update your UP 2.01 installation with the UP updater, to make sure you have the latest files for the map.
