DCG Announcements

Additions to Version 3.50 (Build #1) Due to the issue in the latest IL2 patch (4.14m), the back up of DGen and NGen has been motified so that these files are renamed DGEN_bak.bak and NGEN_bak.bak (from DGEN_bak.exe and NGEN_bak.exe). The change is because unknown .exe files in the main game folder cause the game to abort. As .bak files, they are ignored. Prior to playing a DGen/NGen campaign using DCG, uncheck the option to use them before running the game. Once the game is open, alt+tab out, run DCG and check the option to replace DGEN or NGEN. Uncheck the option when you are done (or before you play again). In other words, this first beta for 3.50 is an im…

Hello everyone who uses Il-2 dcg. I want to ask where it can be set (disable pilot capture). Thank you very much for your reply. Buffo

Hi, I've been setting up a campaign for the Bf-110. I've noticed that the available aircraft on DCG doesn't include the D, E and F versions. It goes straight from the 110C4 and C4b to the 110G2. Is this corrected in later DCG versions or is there a reason I'm missing? Cheers SiPinto

The first beta for 3.49 has been posted. Additions to Version 3.49 Updated links to online website and support. Improved logic for long distance missions. However, for best results, users should use the Aircraft Class Settings Panel to update the ranges of all active plans to their historical stats. Note: After installing, remember to reset your basic options and, if using DGen or NGen Replacement modes, make sure these options are re-checked before running IL-2 Forgotten Battles, Pacific Fighters or 1946. Mods which have made changes to the event log may not work with IL2DCG.

Edit Dude, I posted this in announcements!!!! I'm sorry!!!!!!! This post should be moved!!!! Hi! 1. Solved: I'll just take a look at solomons4401.rds. Ignore question 1 Say I want to go from location A to location D, going through some water. Before and after the water pass, I have Location B and location C. So, should I do [LocationA to LocationB] [LocationB to LocationB_Ferry] [LocationB_Ferry to LocationC_Ferry] [LocationC_Ferry to LocationC] [LocationC to LocationD] Or can I do [LocationA to LocationB_Ferry] [LocationB_Ferry to LocationC_Ferry] [LocationC_Ferry to Loca…

It's come to my attention that DCG and AVG Antivirus don't play well together. After DCG over-writes DGEN or NGEN and then the game tries to generate a new campaign or mission, AVG quarantines DCG in the IL2 folder (in other words, it deletes the DCG renamed as DGEN/NGEN). In order to stop AVG from quarantining DCG, users will have to set up an exception in AVG for the IL2 folder. This may also be the case with other antivirus programs....

I recently reinstalled IL2DCG 3.48 after a couple of years of not using it. I generated a mission for Coral Sea. When I started the mission I could see the stock USS Lexington and the USS Generic CV (Saratoga clone). Since my HSFX 7.0.3 has had Additional Essex Class CV's and the three Yorktown Class CV's I experimented with the ship names file and the Coral Sea mission file. First I made a copy of each original file and then I edited both files by changing the the ship associated with the name USS Yorktown to USSYorktownCV5_42 and changing the chief entry to USSYorktownCV5_42. I then generated the mission and the USSYorktownCV5_42 appears when I play the missi…

I've made a quick and dirty main page to the beta which can be found here: http://members.shaw.ca/lowengrin/

A beta of the latest DCG is available here for those who wish to give it a try: http://members.shaw.ca/lowengrin/il2dcg348beta1.zip Please post any bugs to this list. Additions (so far) to Version 3.48 Fixed "Ace" AI pilot bug. Tweaked some static objects from a number of campaigns to avoid collision. Note: Install over a complete copy of DCG 3.47 as this beta only includes files that have been modified from the previous build. After installing, remember to reset your basic options and, if using DGen or NGen Replacement modes, make sure these options are re-checked before running IL-2 Forgotten Battles, Pacific Fighters or 1946. Mods which have made changes to the ev…

This forum is being migrated over to a new one and any posts done this week (and until it's completed) will probably be lost. So don't post anything you want left for posterity.

A beta of the latest DCG is available here for those who wish to give it a try: http://members.shaw.ca/lowengrin/il2dcg347beta2.zip Please post any bugs to this list. Additions (so far) to Version 3.47 Added planes and armour for game version 4.11m. Raised cloud height to a maximum of 5000 meters. Added options for gusts and turbulence settings. Removed search routine if the time setting is normal or faster to allow carrier battles to occur if there's only one mission a day. Increased payload lengths to 40 characters. Note: After installing, remember to reset your basic options and, if using DGen or NGen Replacement modes, make sure these options a…

Apparently the web server that hosted my site has suffered a catastrophic failure and so Lowengrin.com will be down for an unspecified amount of time. But as the beta is available through my Shaw.ca site and this forum is still running fine, I think we can limp along for a bit.
