I'll review the code again. I'm just perplexed as to why they are jumping into the PRD from the SRD. I'm glad you can workaround it for now, but I'm determine to correct this one.

Made some tweaks to the code regarding SRD and PRD resets. Maybe these will end the problem of jumping from one to the other.... Added Iwo Jima and Okinawa maps as eligible for on-map kamikaze missions and moved the starting date back to October 1944. But I decided not to use the dedicated kamikaze squadrons. Any missions using a Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka will of course be kamikaze no matter when or where. IL2DCG350b26.zip

On reviewing the code, Kamikaze missions are restricted to IJN/IJA squadrons at off-map airfields or on the Japan map only in 1945. DCG doesn't use squadron name as a determining factor (maybe it did at one point???)

Back to the drawing board.

Beta build 25 corrects an issue with trying to add new squadrons through the squadron editor panel. While testing this fix, I discovered that if every plane explodes on mission start up, it's because there's a been a squadron added to the mission file that doesn't exist in the game. IL2DCG350b25.zip

Sorry for the late answer but it looks like I must have introduced a bug at some point that's messed up the save for selecting a new squadron name. I'll fix that. Unfortunately for your campaign, it messed up the data files and that pushed it on to France.

That is correct.

Okay, I remembered that way back before adding columns was a thing, I wrote a routine that forced every ship AFTER a transport ship to act as an escort to that ship and use the same sea route. Of course, back then, it required the order of ships in the template mission file to be ordered with any carrier task force first and then transports and escorts after. But being able to add ships through the timetable can break that ordering.... So now I've changed it so that if a ship is assigned to the patrol route, it will never be assigned to transport escort duty. Or at least that's what should happen with this build.... IL2DCG350b24.zip

Okay, I'll have another look.

They don't appear at all? Not even in the first Japanese sea route location?

Okay, I think I found the bug for ships jumping out of the patrol area and into a sea lane. IL2DCG350b23.zip

Can you do me a favour and post the dcgerror.txt for the first mission of the test campaign? And the .srd and .prd files. Thanks!

Check the latest beta.

This beta should fix the issues around ships not appearing in the patrol zone (.prd) when they are added to a campaign through the time table. This build should also require ship names (and not their "chief" designation for the timetable command to move squadrons onto carriers. As always, appreciate any feedback regarding these changes...particularly if they don't work as expected....
