Regarding the first problem, I used that the very first time, deleting and adding two convoys and it worked. Now, none of those convoys is there.

If I delete the Sulecin_Bridge77->Swiebodzin_Airfield route, no matter what, the columns don't get created. It's not a coincidence as you said. I created several campaigns with the Sulecin_Bridge77->Swiebodzin_Airfield route and in all of those the columns were created. In none of the campaigns I created, without the Sulecin_Bridge77->Swiebodzin_Airfield route, the columns were created

Hi! So, I have modified berlin.rds First problem I have added an _Airfield. I added it to the locale lines in allcampaigns, so it start as an Allied location. It worked superb, but then I modified furthermore the .rds file and created a new campaign and the new airfield is Axis. I rolled back and added the lines again and even deleted the backups, but it seems this doesn't work. Second problem In the master berlin.mis file I added some columns near location A, so when the campaign starts those columns start there, near the front. Now, all these columns go from A to D, so I added some roads between A and B, B and C and C and D and deleted the road from A to D. Now, these columns only appear in Home and move towards the front. Any help?

I find the concept interesting. However, I don't think that something like that would be a priority. So, maybe DCG 1.51 or 1.52? I don't know. And while DCG is used by plenty of people , this forum is not very active, so saying that your concept doesn't have interest after the post doesn't have answers after less than a day of being created it's not necessarily correct. PEACE!

Dude, that's not how this works.

Why is that?

Have you checked the allpayloads.dcg file? How about the class.dcg file? Edit: the 'default' is just the Il-2 default of that plane. However, notice that for some mods (and maybe some planes, but I'm not sure), we have 'defaults' instead of 'default' (notice the 's')

You can add planes and create your own campaigns. Check right here http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=ForumsPro&file=viewtopic&t=7876&finish=15&start=45 There is also a manual https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=50725.0 As is a little old, there are things that you can do now but you couldn't do then

You could make your payloads,dcg read only, after modifying it. Here you have a manual https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=50725.0 It's a little old so many things you couldn't do then you can do now, like adding airfields, for example

How?

All the "is not a valid integer value " errors come from formatting error. A weird space here and there or using tabs instead of spaces or whatever. Have you done modifications lately? By the way, you will probably need to delete your current campaign files AND your backups after you fix your error.

How about the usual suspects? Adding planes and weapons to the respective files? Edit: have you tried creating a mission with DCG itself?

Would it be possible to share how will you do it? Because I thought about different solution algorithms and I want to know which one will you use

You could take the unitary vectors that define every side of the payrol box and point multiply with the unitary vector of the wind. The first waypoint should be on the side in which the product of vectors is less. The second waypoint should be on the side that gives the most distance to the first waypoint. Edit: I don't know what I was thinking. Just calculate the max lentgh formed by a segment paralell to the wind, inside the patrol box. Get the equation of the segment and evaluate points from the easternmost point of the patrol box.

That would be REALLY bothersome to implement, I guess. Because basically, you'll have to check carrier/airplane combinations that make planes accident prone* and, if there are, place the first two waypoints of ALL the taskforce in a way that the movement is parallel to the wind. AND it should check if they are in the patrol box specified in the prd file. Maybe those two waypoints should be the vertices of the patrol box that are more apart? *Maybe a file for that? Something like carrier_plane.dcg. If user places a plane/carrier combination, DCG modifies waypoints, or whatever, so modders can add their own plane/carrier combo. **Or maybe, don't check and always place the two waypoints so velocity is parallel to wind speed.

Yes, I'm using wind. I'm trying to make them take-off British Illustrious carriers. Check this http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=ForumsPro&file=viewtopic&t=24149 Corsairs, Seafires and Hellcats take-off without issue

So, there are planes that absolutely don't go along with moving [Chief] carriers (that actually should be able to take-off with out issue), like the Avenger. Now, this has nothing to do with DCG. but with the game itself. Knowing that, what kind of wourkarounds in DCG are there for that? For example, in a Kyushu map, there are the moving carriers and there is Townsville airfield. My first idea is to assign Avengers to Townsville airfield, but that would defeat the purpose of having carries in the first place. Other workaround would be assign Avengers to Townsville airfield and place a static carrer, but then, why have chief carriers in the first place then. What other workarounds would you thing would be good? Would adding something like [number_Chief] NORMFLY 189432.94 166343.06 300.00 300.00 NORMFLY 189842.50 167100.62 600.00 300.00 or [Carrier_name] or [Carrier_class] (like Ships.HMSIllustriousCV, for example) to airfields.dcg work?

Yes, I did exactly that. Thanks! By the way, what happens if I say, open DCG at the beggining of a mission and close it, and then open it again when I'm about to quit mission? Would the date/time stamp sync again?

...but I actually shot down an enemy figther, a bunch of my bombers got killed, and so a lot more enemy figthers. And we destroyed plenty of trucks. I even saw all of that in the map in the debriefing. I'm using stock Il2 14.1 and DCG3.50b5

What happens if I do 19410702 PriorityLandingSite Allied = Odessa 19410705 PriorityLandingSite Allied = Some_Other_place ? Will the first one be overriden or the second one ignored?

But if there is, say, a Polish or a New Zealand squadron in a campaign, mnames and birth citeas are generated without issues.

Maybe the stock Dgen files are used? BTW, it would be cool to add nationalities, for mod use, or even, stock use. It would be nice having RCAF pilots from Montreal and not from Manchester.

Would this work for mods with added nationalities? Say Asura's Dgen modpack, that adds chinese, yugoslavian and korean, for example. Would I just need to add a CN_names.dat and add a chinese section in cities.dat? Would that be the same for adding squadrons to squadsid.dat file? Just add the generic chinese flight and add below chinese squadrons?

Hi, everyone! What are good Slovakia map campaigns out there that you would recommend? Specifically, set in the late war period? Like 44-45

Sorry, layer 8 error. I forgot to add Polish_Airfield to locale section in Berlin AND to check in the Axis squadrons if it was part of the avaiable airfields. Corrected that, it works exactly as you say. Thanks!

Added a Polish_Airfield to berlin.rds. There is a Polish_Airfield in the Ground war panel, but it's not choosable in the Airfields in the Squadron panel
