Just checking - this version is okay with 4.12.2 (I use with BAT) and 4.13.4 (I use with YPack) or only new 4.14? 
Thanks for the continued work on this great utility!

Hi Paul,
Not sure if you are familiar with the soon to be released title or have been approached by the developers or interested other parties -- or may just have interest on your own level? But it would be amazing news if you were perhaps thinking about it or were able in the future to put something together for it.

I am hoping it may be on the radar?
Best wishes and stay safe.

Additions to Version 3.50 (Build #1)

Due to the issue in the latest IL2 patch (4.14m), the back up of DGen and NGen has been motified so that these files are renamed DGEN_bak.bak and NGEN_bak.bak (from DGEN_bak.exe and NGEN_bak.exe).  The change is because unknown .exe files in the main game folder cause the game to abort.  As .bak files, they are ignored. 
 
Prior to playing a DGen/NGen campaign using DCG, uncheck the option to use them before running the game.  Once the game is open, alt+tab out, run DCG and check the option to replace DGEN or NGEN.  Uncheck the option when you are done (or before you play again).
 
In other words, this first beta for 3.50 is an imperfect fix for DCG for use with the 4.14m patch.

Yes, 3.49 will work with the older versions no problem and 3.50 should also.  If the modding community remains on 4.12.2 and 4.13.4, I'll ensure that new versions of DCG will continue to work for them going forward.

I've posted an official build at: http://il2dcg.blogspot.com/
 
It includes a few tweaks from the last beta including some fixes to the A6M2-n mission generation, the fix to the missing plane type in the class file (which will create the dreaded "" is not an integer error.  And it has the first three stages of the Solomon Campaign (Guadalcanal).
 
Thanks, everyone for your comments, critiques and encouragement over the past few years of betas.
