This is an extremely late answer, but could you not set the Meteors cruise speed slower so escorts could keep up?

Yes. There are settings to force night mission on the Custom Mission Panel. Not only can you set whether you want to fly day or night missions, you can even set a window of time in which to run those missions.

Yes, it's a bit clunky, but that will work.

Good to hear.

I hope you figured this out, but it seems like you've got some missing files (probably from IL2 as DCG uses the data files from it to set up the options for scenarios)....

No, infantry columns are not coded into DCG. Are these in some recent update or are they included through modding?

Skimming the old thread at Missions4Today, it seems fairly up to date. The file format hasn't changed very much in thirteen years. The ship name file might be newer, but it's fairly obvious how to use it.

Good idea. I'll add that (someday).

I'm unsure what will happen if you specify "default" in allpayloads.dcg file. Without testing, I assume it will work as expected. Adding "none" to the file should also be fine, but the game assumes for drop tank and anti-shipping that no entry is none.

I haven't a lot of experience using IL2 from Steam - my copy is so old, I have a CD.... I do know that if your Steam game is corrupt, you can always try verifying the integrity of the files. Do this by clicking on the game in Steam and selection Properties and then Files...

The 6th ordinance column can only be changed through the GUI (Aircraft panel) as 99% of them are "default". As it's used only for fighter patrols/sweeps and transfers, I never bothered to create a timetable command for it.

If you have any specific questions regarding these commands, just post them below.

Hi, the link above is working for me (but only when logged into my account).

The attachment is here (it had been bumped to a previous page). https://forum.jg1.org/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=4155&key=0ff7ad4e35144a702d84404b79efc103

Promotions are based on a combination of kills, ground targets destroyed and the number of missions flown. I don't have the formula handy (requires rooting through the code on another computer). I don't recall there being any weighting for kills for fighter pilots or bombs for bomber pilots....

It took a long time for me to feel that one!

Yes, 15 is the latest. As you may have guessed, I'm not currently working on it. I won't say I've stopped, because I'll still do bug fixes should they come up. But I'm not adding new content.

Got it, thanks!

Got it, thanks.

Lovely.

I doubt the Java update will have an impact. As for Vichy, that would require some changes to the DCG code as well as some data files....

So I finally remembered to check the nose art and there appears to be no limit on the number of files the noseart folder can hold and be included by DCG. That said, I've never tested it with more than 50.

You need to look back at the previous page. Too many people have posted since I last uploaded it. (Or just click the little arrow below and to the right.)

Happy New Year to you and everyone still using DCG! I'll have to check the code to see the limit and, yes, I can increase it. No prob...he says wondering if there'll be any ramifications....
