JG7_X_Man Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Has anyone ran across this issue using 3.49 beta 2? Doesn't matter what mission type I select in DCG, the next mission is always patrolling my airfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowengrin Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 If you select a mission type for a fighter squadron and DCG can't make it work, you'll get a patrol mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG7_X_Man Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi Paul! I selected sweeps and air superiority missions. Its weird because all the other units are assigned deep penetration missions and escort. I wonder if this has something to do with me setting chances of engagement to 100%? Which doesn't work either because I set the mission to run on auto for 1 hour and no engagement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG7_X_Man Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I think my issue has something to do with my allcampaigns,dcg file. My designated front may be the problem. My front is located in my .srd (channel_sea) file but doesn't show up in the "Location of Front" drop-down list in the DCG GUI - should I add it to the allcampaigns,dcg file as a location?

JG7_X_Man Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 There must be something wrong with my allcampaigns.dcg.

Lowengrin Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 You may have to make the front a location from your .rds file. Even if it's just a fake location in water. DCG may be confused by your using a water location as the front. That or your combat radius is too small...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG7_X_Man Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thank you for that suggest Paul! My combat radius is 550 Km which is what we calculated is correct for the map size I am using. I set this after the 1st mission is generated using DCG Replace DGEN mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riksen Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I can take a looo and create the front for u if u wish .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG7_X_Man Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Riksen that would be amazing - I have CUP WaW #19/20 installed but all you need is the Gilb57's Western Front maps 1939-1944 installed. If you do, let me know and I will send you a link to the campaign. Here is a link to the map.http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,28363.0.html SAS doesn't run ads so I don't think Paul will object to the link but if he does he will take it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riksen Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I dont have cup but that map is also present in HSFX 7.0.3 so it should be ok. Just send me the mission template and tell me exactly where u want the front at (dividing the channel in the middle?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG7_X_Man Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Actually, I had the front working a few weeks ago but I don't think in the process of trying to fix one thing, I break another. duh! The version I have uploaded to Dropbox isn't the latest version - I will get that up after the work day in the US. Thank for your help!

JG7_X_Man Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Solved! Definitively I have figured out the problem! Apparently when the payload.dcg has "Empty" for a certain mission type (i.e "intercept"), such mission type will not be generated - the default will be mission generated instead - "patrol".
