Further tweaks to the placement of columns (particularly ships).

Maybe is better than nothing!

I'll test it on my 1932 planned Shanghai campaign for the NEW_DOF when ready....I'll report here the target results....

Beta 27 increases the likelihood of shipping strikes.

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.

Hi, 
I’ve spent the last few weekends getting a dozen old campaigns up and running with IL-2 4.12 and DCG 3.50beta24, and I noticed two more things I wanted to mention.
If a PRD zone is included, ships on the SRD route will jump to the PRD zone after the first mission—unless a standard IL-2 "Tramp" ship is positioned at the head of the convoy or is operating as a lone vessel on the SRD route. This applies to both sides, Red and Blue.
And the other point: I haven't seen any kamikaze missions in this beta yet—neither with DCG's dedicated kamikaze squadrons nor with the new feature for all IJN/IJA squadrons stationed at off-map airfields after 1945.
Thanks for your time!

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.
 

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....

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

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....  😉
 

Latest build adds a "SetSeason" command to the time table file fulfilling a suggestion by Walter to have a way to switch from Summer to Winter map without having to create a whole new campaign.  This was originally hard-coded for the vanilla maps, but now I've made it a time table command so it can be over-ridden.  More importantly, it can be used with mod maps.
So there's a new command that will just swap the summer map over to the winter map (or winter to summer) in a campaign and keep all the data files from the original map.  For example:
  19420102 SetSeason Winter Net2Winter/load.ini
  19420103 SetSeason Summer Net2Summer/load.ini
 
 

Great to see you active and well Lowengrin!

It's probably best to just start out with non-player defined campaigns; the ones that are mapped to stock DGen campaigns from the game. 
 
Also, check that you have a "MASTERS" and "DATA" folder in your IL2DCG folder.  If you extracted the files from the zip without keeping the folder structure, you will be in for major headaches.

Your file from January 13 works. Thank you very much.

Hello JG1,
I had a trip down memory lane and was thinking about the squads I flew with / against in the 90's in Sierra's Red Baron and SimGuild's Flying Circus as a young kid. I was flying with the Arabian Knights and have a lot of fond memories of getting into FC furballs with JG1, flying against Speed, Wolf, and others. I haven't touched a flight sim since then and probably couldn't grab someone's 6 if they were flying in a straight line 😁

Anyway, very cool to see that this group has continued on in some form, and I had to drop in to say hello! Cheers,
 
Torment

Hi sercrets,
il2sc (IL2 Server Commander) works fine. I use it every day.
