Well sounds a bit off context, but just delete the ship off your column.dcg. Either in the column.dcg itself (text editor) or via dcg gui. If that doesent work send me the campaign and I correct it for you.

DCG has actually no setting to change the game difficulty setting. As example you could test a bf109 instead , in which u can view the motor sucking the fuel.

Hi Paul, I already posted this into the RC thread. I thought it could be due to my custom MDS campaign. Then I tried it today with stock campaign I receive again an integer error.

I guess this is an option I will never bve able to understand for a long time, as I know I aksed for that in the old forums several time.... Can someone explain the function of that command for the special people plz. I need to set squadrons AI or manual via timetable, but as it is a MDS grandcampaihn I cant pin it down to the date. As I can say when a before running campaign will end. However I could set a date, but tbh I would like to keep things dynamic.

Hi Paul, i got still issues with the latest RC 3.49b14 After a few mission I receive a integer error Do you got any idea what could cause that?

Well DCG is actually a one-man-show and it is made for free in freetime by Lowengrin and supported since more than a decade. I dont think one should expect to work out the historrical context, as his work here is more as a coder and less a texter. However, you are able yourself to add historrical context by adding your desired text into the briefing of your chose campaign. (e.g. timetable.dcg).

Yes, Skin folder inside. Strange thing....

Hi Paul, it looks like the mds file is not exported for online campaigns. Maybe that belongs aswell to the new files you added to dcg lately? It isnt a big find, as copy&paste do the job aswell. btw we still keep flying dcg in mds weekly (atm daily) since I think 6 years.....

[Mods] section works. Thx a lot!

Hi Paul, I know bugfixing is a unthankful job, but maybe I can bother you to have look into this, or maybe you can give me a hint. We are flying MDS Mode under fbdj. All AI planes are set to AI Only (via squadron editor) All human planes are set to human only (via squadron editor) Flight Size 1 / Axis flight Size 2 When a mission is generated, 2 AI plane are generated for the human flight (one for each flight), which of course effects the human squadron count. Is there a way to stop spawning AI planes for human squadrons? squadron.dcg [I_JG270] Planes 16/16-0+1 Skill 1 Class air.BF_109E7NZ Active True Human Only 1default.bmp Tmimi_Airstrip Radio generated .mis file [I_JG2700] Planes 1 Skill0 1 pilot0 de_17.bmp Class air.BF_109E7NZ Fuel 100 weapons default [I_JG2700_Way] TAKEOFF 45750.33 193557.05 0 0 &0 NORMFLY 43250.00 196056.00 1300 360.00 IV_StG210 1 &0 NORMFLY 36500.00 189307.00 1600 360.00 &0 NORMFLY 40750.00 183557.00 1900 360.00 &0 NORMFLY 45749.00 183557.00 2200 360.00 &0 [I_JG2701] Planes 1 Skill0 1 pilot0 de_06.bmp Class air.BF_109E7NZ Fuel 100 weapons default [I_JG2701_Way] TAKEOFF 45750.33 193557.05 0 0 &0 NORMFLY 43750.00 196556.00 1500 360.00 IV_StG210 1 &0 NORMFLY 37650.00 189957.00 1800 360.00 &0 NORMFLY 41250.00 184557.00 2100 360.00 &0 NORMFLY 45749.00 184557.00 2400 360.00 &0 NORMFLY 50250.00 189057.00 2700 360.00 &0 NORMFLY 48903.00 196710.00 6000.0 360.00 IV_StG210 1 &0 NORMFLY 52055.00 199862.00 4500.0 280.00 IV_StG210 2 &0 NORMFLY 62841.00 194370.00 4500.0 280.00 IV_StG210 2 &0 NORMFLY 109725.00 126428.00 3500.0 280.00IV_StG210 4 &0 NORMFLY 147612.00 110214.00 3525.0 280.00 IV_StG210 5 &0 NORMFLY 198699.00 85300.00 5100.0 360.00 &0 [BornPlace0] Bf-109F-4 He-111H-11 Bf-110E-2 [BornPlace1] Bf-109F-4 [BornPlace2] Bf-109F-4 Ju-88A-4 [BornPlace3] Bf-110E-2 [BornPlace4] MC-202_III [BornPlace5] Ju-88A-4 [BornPlace6] Bf-109E-7Z Ju-87B-2 So for each human flight, one AI is generated.

Good question. I will try it with the stock class.dcg. Although I never touched the Ju52 in the class file. edit: no it keeps the same. I cant choose the Ju52 in the squadron editor.

Gonna check that right now,thx.

The Ju52 is in the master file. However you can add almost each plane within the squadron editor aswell.

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 is available in mission. Any ideas?

Hi folks, for some reason I cant choose the Ju52 anymore in our campaigns. All campaigns are own written and the files are edited of course The Ju52 is available in the aircraft class editor but not in squadron editor. Is it a bug?

Doesnt work . However, dont mind too much, if it would be a snip fine, but not worth to invest real time.Thx.

Did you mark Squadron Management at the Option rider? Or check your dcg.ini or SquadronManagement=True (around line 73)

Well it is indeed [Mods] FACDelay 15 GCIRange 150 GCIVarAlt 1 Sorry. Just to point it out, I know of 3 Mods who use this section for custom variables. So it is a very special request and for sure no primary weighted but nice to have feature. At the moment I use a derivate of C&C Mod within DCG (the mod got own "hardcoded default values) for Blind bombing, Forward AIr Controller, Radar reports, Groud Observer (HSFX).

Hi Paul, would it be possible to add a [Mods] Section within the generating mission files? Reason: Some mods use this section to edit variables. Like C&C Mod, that delivers Forward Air Controller or Ground Observer and Ground Control Radar.

A solution to edit it campaign dependant, like in a file within the campaign folder would be more comfortable. However very goog hint to edit in the ini direclty, thx.

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.

Hi Paul, thx again for your enduring work

You are welcome to join. Maybe some of your guys want to aswell. The camapign is now on Twitter aswell to follow live events while the missions or up2date announcements. [twitter]Geschwader42[/twitter]

Remaining Il2-1946 veterans are still flying a dynamic multiplayer campaign initiated by 1./JG42 about 28 months ago. The campaign began with the virtual Battle for France 1940, followed the chronological timeline throughout the war to the present Battle for the Krim in 1944. The campaign is generated dynamically by DCG, each event effects the next mission. Each pilot, every tank, vehicle and AI plane is an effecting part of the campaign. To virtualize the battlefield 200 tanks, 60 vehicles and about 120 planes are facing each other. The dedicated Server is administrated by FBDj and connected to a realtime statistics. The game version is Il2 1946 4.12.2 HSFX 7.0.3 and a custom created mod package. We meet each thursday evening at 20h (GMT+2/Berlin timezone) in TS of 1./JG42. A mission runs 60 minutes, basically we are playing 3 missions. Due the moving dogfight character Joining is always possible. A death kick triggers after the third virtual death for the remaining mission time only. We would like to welcome new or old pilots and squadrons aswell. Meeting point is the Teamspeak Server of 1./JG42. Login dates will be send via pn to each interested pilot. Find more information at the dedicated campaign site
