DCG 3.50 Open Beta

Thanks great Lowengrin!

Always hoping to see your magic touch came back over DCG in the future....

One new "feature" is that planes may spawn on airfields in dangerously close to the front and become cannon-fodder for the enemy....

Not new to me to be honest. The ardennes 1944 alwas spawned Germany right in front of Allied tanks. France 1940 also had allied ground troops close enough for small arms fire.

[Lowengrin]

The Ardennes map is so small it's almost impossible not to have ground units in range of airfields.

Hello can someone please tell me which of the mod versions would work with 4.12 to use with the vp modpack?

IL2DCG 3.50 Build #20 corrects a bug in flights' waypoint data which was preventing some missions from being fully loaded into the FMB.

Just seen this now. Much appreciated

Recently came back to 1946, and was very happy to see that DCG is still ticking.  After decades!

1C/TD/Ubi should be paying you.

 

Thank you, Paul.

awesomeee thank you

Latest build adds a "SetSeason" command to the time table file fulfilling a suggestion by Walter to have a way to switch from Summer to Winter map without having to create a whole new campaign.  This was originally hard-coded for the vanilla maps, but now I've made it a time table command so it can be over-ridden.  More importantly, it can be used with mod maps.

So there's a new command that will just swap the summer map over to the winter map (or winter to summer) in a campaign and keep all the data files from the original map.  For example:

  19420102 SetSeason Winter Net2Winter/load.ini
  19420103 SetSeason Summer Net2Summer/load.ini

Hi everyone, is it still possible to download DCG? None of the links are working.

[Lowengrin]

The download still works, but only for build #21, which is five posts up.  

[Vito]

Your file from January 13 works. Thank you very much.

[kitestring]

Hello. The download link for Beta 21 from January 13th no longer works it seems.

 

EDIT: I just realized that one has to login to download files. Silly me.

I don't know if this is related to DCG or not. I've never had an issue with it or IL2. I just did a new install, patched up to 4.15m. When I start a new campaign (IJA with full DCG), I click on the start button to begin and just hear a beep. Nothing else happens.

[Lowengrin]

The "beep" usually means the DCG install has some issue.  Try running DCG and re-checking the auto-generation mode toggle.  Also, make sure that you have a Data folder and a Masters folder in your DCG folder (and files in each). I don't think it's very common these days, but some old unzipping options dumped everything into the main folder.  Finally, check that the DCG folders and the IL2 folders are not "read only".  

Hopefully one of those issues will solve it.  If not, let me know and I'll try to dig up some other causes.
