What is your Timezone? US Eastern Do you have a joystick or HOTAS? Hotas Do you have TeamSpeak installed, as well as a working microphone? Yes Do you have TrackIR, or a FreeTrack system for view control? TIR What sims are you currently flying? FC , ROF How did you hear about JG1? Flew with JG1 in FIF . Is there anything else that you'd like us to know? 58yr old. Have done flight sims off and on since Kesmai's Air Warrior in the early 90s. Have flown Warbirds and HiTech Creations Aces High in their development days and IL2-1946 about 5 years ago. Discovered ROF on Steam a couple months ago after a five year hiatus, and found FC through ROF. Pretty much interested in WWI only, although if IL2 ever gets a Pacific theater I'll be there too.

I have been playing the DCG Pacific career and have the "Ships remain sunk" option checked. In my current career the Yorktown was sunk in the last mission of the Coral Sea campaign and re-appeared in the next mission, the first mission of the Midway campaign. Is that correct? Do ships 'remain sunk' only for the duration of a single campaign within a career?

I've been running DCG with HSFX7 for a few campaigns now and , except for the squadron management thing, it seems to run fine. With Squadron management 'on' I can move pilots up and down on the list in the squad management panel, but they do not take effect in IL2, and if I rerun DCG, they are all reset with my pilot back in command regardless of rank.

HSFX7, has that porked my DCG squad management?

I did read that, but the ON/OFF meanings that you describe should be stated in that line. As written, the line merely describes the ability to move pilot positions in the 'Squadron Management' panel. When I had that option checked I tried moving my pilot to a lower position and I still wound up as the commander of the squadron on every mission. I'm not sure what being able to move pilots on the roster accomplishes,

Thanks Pandacat, that was the solution to the squad command issue. I am not able to find that detail about the 'Squadron Management' setting in the online documentation. (??)

Hi, I've just started using DCG and have a couple of questions. When I ran the 'Auto Generation Mode' I found that my pilot was always the last plane in his flight no matter what his rank. Now that I have switched to 'Full Auto Generation Mde' I find that I am always the squadron commander even though I am the lowest ranking pilot in the squad as an 'aviation pilot 1st class' (the lowest USN rank). I can't find a setting that controls this... what am I missing? Also, in 'Auto Generation Mode' I found that the rank/awards recorded in IL-2 did not match the rank and awards that DCG recorded. Kills, missions, flown and aircraft lost were all up-to-date, but rank and awards advanced much more slowly than reported in the DCG squad editor. What might cause that? Thanks.
