BrosifBallin Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Hi I'm playing beta 10 and I just spawned a usmc guadacanal 43 campaign and noticed the new zealand squadron had been given yaks, it was rather odd. They were assigned to squadron 14FSquadron0 if that helps at all. Quote
BrosifBallin Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 No mods, completely stock game. Quote

Lowengrin Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Posted October 5, 2014 For those of you wondering why I've been silent for the last more than few weeks, I've been on holidays. Back now so should be able to monitor the forum more regularly. Cheers! Quote
Lowengrin Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Posted October 5, 2014 Sun, beach and margaritas... Some sun, mostly storm watching on the Pacific...and beer. Quote
Lowengrin Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Posted October 11, 2014 Latest beta: http://members.shaw.ca/lowengrin/il2dcg348beta11.zip (Hopefully) fixes the issue with "future" armour. And adds "Slovakia" to the summer/winter code. If you want to use the "light/online" map for Slovakia, enter it as map "Slovakia_Online". If issues with these two things come up, you know where to find me. Thanks! Quote
idefix44 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 Sorry Sir, but this zip package isn't usable for a new install. No Data and no Master folders. Have a good day. Quote
idefix44 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 About Slovakia. Please, Sir, can you be more clear. Wich line to change, in wich file... The maps.dcg file, I guess. The line: "Load=Slovakia/load_online.ini" become "Load=Slovakia_Online"? Or something else? Thanks. Quote
Lowengrin Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Posted October 13, 2014 Sorry Sir, but this zip package isn't usable for a new install. No Data and no Master folders. Have a good day. Just copy the exe into your last beta then. I can't fix it right now. Nor can I clarify which line, but I think it's the load one.... I'm on an iPad. Quote
idefix44 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 My comment about the 3.48b11 package was for help if a new user want install IL2DCG for the first time... Waiting something more clear about the Slovakia map option. No problemo... Quote
BrosifBallin Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 I did a little testing and it seems the problem with the Guadalcanal '43 campaign is the New Zealand Squadron is assigned a P 40M in the masters/guadal43.mis file and there is no P 40M in the il2dgen.exe program under squadron editor, so it defaults to the yak 9, which is at the bottom of the drop down list of planes. I switched the .mis to the P 40E just as a quick fix, is there an easy way to add the P 40M to il2dgen? Quote
Nephris Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Thx Paul for your enduring work since years! Both thumbs up. Quote

Actually, since it's now hard-coded, you can just add it to the grandcampaign.dcg or allcampaigns.dcg file for the "Map = ". No need to put it in the maps.dcg file at all. Quote

I switched the .mis to the P 40E just as a quick fix, is there an easy way to add the P 40M to il2dgen? I see the problem. The P-40M isn't available until March '43 and the campaign begins in December '42. Need to fix this. Quote
WindWeapon Posted October 24, 2014 Report Posted October 24, 2014 Has there been any news on the Carrier (spawn) takeoff issue? I did a little further on this issue and indeed, via the timetable.dcg I can successfully generate the first mission with correct carrier spawn/takeoff and landing. However, upon clicking "Apply" to cycle the mission in the campaign, the second mission generates as an airstart noting the offmap field as home plate rather than the carrier. Perhaps I could cheat via the timeline and each day move squad to carrier, but hopefully some way to successfully spawn will be found. Note, when running a DGEN carrier campaign, the carrier spawning occurs normally, but....who want dgen when we have DCG?! . ~S~ wind Quote
Lowengrin Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Posted October 24, 2014 Could you give me some details about your experiment. What version of IL2 are you playing and any mods...? Which campaign and squadron? Quote
Lowengrin Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Posted November 2, 2014 Latest beta with some changes to the timing of delayed start time squadrons. Now the delay is based on the action radius (bigger = longer delays) and players can make them even longer using the new setting on the Waypoint Settings Panel. http://members.shaw.ca/lowengrin/il2dcg348beta12.zip Quote
Lowengrin Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Posted November 16, 2014 Latest beta here: http://members.shaw.ca/lowengrin/il2dcg348beta13.zip This should fix the issue with static object losses not being applied to troop strengths (except when the static objects are the ones randomly generated at the front). It should also fix online issues with the Ju-52s. And the old MDS box in the Dogfight Panel has been removed for a simple MDS option in the Option drop down menu. If checked, it will activate MDS for ALL mission types...whether this is a good thing or not.... Quote
idefix44 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 Hi Sir, I tried the last version. IL2 DCG 3.48b13. In dogfight mode, in the .mis file, the [WING] and the [Chiefs] sections are empty. Same result when the "MDS code" option is checked or unchecked... So we have lost the MDS features... AI planes and moving columns. Have a good day. Quote
Nephris Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 Top Notch! Gonna check the new beta and introduced features tommorrow. Thx Lo! Quote
Lowengrin Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Posted November 16, 2014 Same result when the "MDS code" option is checked or unchecked...So we have lost the MDS features... AI planes and moving columns. Have a good day. Back to the drawing board. Quote
