DCG Public Discussion

I have started a new offline campaign and have column density set to 'full'. However when I generate the first mission and compare what's in the [chiefs] section of the mission file to what's in the columns.dcg file, I see some columns missing. It was my understanding that if you have column density set to 'full', all available columns would generate in the mission. Am I misunderstanding something? I've included the [chiefs] section of the mission file and the chiefs in the columns.dcg file to below to illustrate. You will notice chiefs 3, 4, 6, 7, 14 and 15 are not represented in the mission file even though the columns file clearly has them noted and in various…

Paul; we're making progress with our Western Front campaign but just a couple of issues I'd ask to be clarified... Below is a sample cut from our columns.dcg file. Can you explain what each of the ~ letters indicate. I thought I understood all but I'm not sure about ~C and ~R (retreating??) Additionally, as you can see at the bottom, there are some trains which have legitimate locations and are ~A (active) and yet do not show up in the generated mission (I generated a couple of missions to check) in the Chiefs list. Any idea why that would be? Thanks. 31_Chief Ships.Tramp 1 @Blank $Tramp_31 ~X 32_Chief Armor.4-M5A1Stuart 1 @Rouen_Factory $4-M5A1Stuart_32 $4…

Please bear with me while I provide some background info... I'm working on a Western Front US fighter campaign and am digging myself a hole. I'm trying to tweak events by modifying the timetable.dcg file and the locations and territories.dcg files. In that sense I realize it's no longer a true dynamic campaign. This is my first attempt at a major campaign and it has been going OK but the missions have become extremely repetitive so I want to change things up. To that end, I simulated an Allied invasion at Dieppe (Normandy isn't on the WF map) and have managed to swing the frontlines to just south of Abbeville and Amiens. My original attempt via the TimeTable.dcg …

Hi I have a problem with some German letters (ä,ü etc) are not displayed correctly in the debriefing when playing a DCG campaign using 3.49 beta12. Text from debriefing.txt: Debrief: Mission results: Hauptmann Matthäus Grünau was shot down. Oberfeldwebel von Oben shot down a Nieuport 17 to score his 2nd victory. Oberfeldwebel von Oben shot down a Nieuport 17 to score his 3rd victory. Oberleutnant Albrecht Steinhauser was shot down. Oberfeldwebel Rainer Müller shot down a Nieuport 17 to score his 1st victory. Oberfeldwebel Rainer Müller bailed out. Oberfeldwebel Rainer Müller was shot down. Oberfeldwebel Rainer Müller, having bailed out, hitched …

Hi So, I installed DCG and set it up to replace the ingame campaign generator. The very first campaign I ever played worked just fine, however now whenever a map is finished it just says "Allied forces have retreated from the sector. The campaign is over," but it continues to load blank missions for me. Is there a way I can move onto the next map (in this case Burma) without losing my character? I do have the single map campaign option disabled. Thanks

Hi, I've recently begun IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 and I'm more interested in the singleplayer dynamic campaign experience where I'm a pilot with my career with the war constantly changing and advancing. Now, it seems to me that DCG is perfect for this..a step up above the stock dgen. So..does DCG work on the newest update 4.13.4 with the beta download? And what about mods? Mods like VP modpack and BAT seem to add better maps, planes, textures rather than campaign improvements like DCG. Are mods compatible with DCG? The planes and maps or campaigns they add wouldn't be ran by DCG, right? Thanks so much!

hello, this i the first time i install lowengrins DCG and i chose the Gazala campaign here for starters. i installed the DCG and followed the instructions of the Gazala campaign installation procedure. i am getting the following message when the first mission is generating " $ is not a valid integer value" while the DCG mission panel says pls wait . can someone give me the fix for this ,tks.

hello i chose the DCG RAF britain 1940 campaign and i see my first mission is in Finland when i expected to be somewhere along the British Channel coast at a RAF airbase since i am playing with my Modpack 412.2m which has many channel maps . Does DCG use the MOD maps or strictly the default maps ?

The _Seaplane_Base and _Port locations are used to take-off by seaplanes. My question is: can we add this locations in the airfields.dcg file?

Hi folks, When I start a campaign, I can choose one of my carriers and assing aircrafts. The aircraft (Fulmar ) i set to the carrier in FMB is assigned as well correct. As soon I generate a mission, no carrier is available in the squadron editor to assing aircrafts. Neither is the formerly set aircraft (Fulmar) assigned to the carrier nor am i able to spawn there. Means no Homebase is set for the carrier (chief). The map has several land airfields and those 2 carriers. Alls aircrafts are assigned to land airfield. (Dogfight/MDS) When I test the same with the stock coral sea campaign (no land airfields) all aircrafts are assigned and the carrier …

In the class.dcg: HS_129B2 HS-129 B-2 de 2 4 0 194201 194501 HS_129B3Wa If I change de 2 4 0 to de 2 4 1 does the plane become flyable by human?

When I create a new campaign, it sometimes happens that I choose a rank for my pilot that I want to change atfter some missions. Mainly I wish to do this to get a wingman, i.e I took an oberfeldwebel, and lately want to change it for a major. Ok, I laucnch DCG, squadron editor panel, double-click on my pilot and make an alteration I need. I generate a new mission, run the game, and...nothing. I have a mission where I am at the end of the list, without any wingman, as if I was an oberfeldwebel. It seems that any change I make in DCG has no effect on my rank created from the start. If you took a too low rank, you cannot change it forcibly, more excatly the changes you made …

Hi, I encountered a problem while trying to modify a campaign with new ground units/ships. However i have no idea what the numbers in the "gobjects.dcg" stand for. Example: Ships.Tral 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 None Ships.Tramp 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 None Ships.Shuka 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 None Ships.MAS501 2 1 1 1 0 1 1 None Ships.SubTypeVIIC_Srf 2 0 0 1 0 1 1 Ships.Submarine Ships.SubTypeVIIC_Sub 2 0 0 1 0 1 1 Ships.SubmarineP Ships.USSSaratogaCV3 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 None Sh…

Hi, is it possible to create a custom Message in the Briefing? Like Server Commands, battlefield explanation sth like that. I dont want to create a new Briefing entry via the timetable for each day, as I dont really know how long a campaign runs. A workaorund )maybe within the messages.dcg would be fine aswell.

when I open DCG.exe,it will pop up a reminder :Access violation at address 004048B8 in module IL2DCG.EXE,Read of address 000001E8. How to solve this problem? I use IL2 DBW171 and win10 X64. Thanks!

Gang: Hi, I just started using DCG (so who knows if I'm actually doing it right!?!) & I am currently working my way thru the 'Channel Battles' series of campaigns. Anyway, I prefer defensive flying so I started as a luftwaffe pilot in 1942; I noticed something odd --the spitfires would never fly all the way out to our area of patrol-just the odd boston, blenheim or mosquito so I jumped to 1943...The same thing happened-what's weirder, the B17s & B24s always crash on takeoff and again the spitfires never reach the areas we are protecting, which results in results surprisingly sparse engagements. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe my settings on DCG are somewhat…

Okay now someone straighten me out here. I must have gotten ahold of some bad coffee or something... So now after using IL2DCG since...forever, a funny thing just happened. I was twiddling around deleting my IL2DCG folder in Windows 8.1, in Program Files (x86) and reinstalling the new beta 349.10. I opened up the "Select DCG Campaign Folder" under the Files tab, and noticed a folder named IL2DCG348. I went to my program manager and looked in Program File (x86), and there was no folder for IL2DCG348. Now to appreciate this incident, one must know that the folder being seen had been deleted for months and months after I began to use the new 349 betas. Ruh Roh! It ge…

Hello to all; Like the topic says, I have never used DCG even though I have been an IL2 fan since it's inception; after a rather long absence I have downloaded GOG's 4.13.3m(I think?); I need to get my hands on the latest DCG version (hopefully this 'beta' will work!) and instructions on how to install it & use it. I am grateful for any help I get; Thanks, ahead of time nickthegreek.

Hi! New here, with what I suppose is a really noob question. Just a question. I was playing the Berlin Campaign in the soviet side. I modified a bit the squadrons: added a few and changed some planes. Got pushed out to Lvov. Now, I got the squadrons that were in Lvov '41. How could one prevent that?

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=229919 I think that some DCG files need to be updated. Thank you in advance.

hi i'm new to DCG; i've read some documentation and tutorial and i have a question: so if i want to set an airport i have to track a path along the runway, then copy coordinates in the .rds, and here's the question: i have to call it [LocationX to LocationX_Airport] or it is good to call it only with the designed name [LocationX_Airport] maybe it a silly question but i don't understand the [ x to y ] format for a static location thank you!

Can I name a location like this Hill_112 to be used in Normandy, or Hill_206 Hill_208 to be used in North Africa near the Halfaya Pass on Tobruk map? Thanks.

hi there i have accidentally deleted my operation husky campaign. i used the restore from backup option but no campaign is showing up in game

~S~ To ALL. and G'day. BIG BIG thanks Lowey mate for all the brain numbing hard work you and others do and have been doing. Looking forward to using DCG again (I think lol).. two little question if I may please. Having just returned to HSFX (well combat flight simming anyways). it looks like DCG goes well with HSFX, (DCG work's in expert mode too ?) Can, command and control work with DCG ? or is it too many contradictings and vyings for control of misson/game programming ?. I know your views on modded game so I won't ask about will DCG work with the VPMod pack from SAS.(?) I don't want to fck anything up as I have JUST done some complete installs and patching …
