IL-2 Dynamic Campaign Generator 3.46 Posted

The IL-2 Dynamic Campaign Generator has now been updated to work with many of the new features of IL-2 1946 Version 4.10.1 including MDS. There are still a few features of the new version that DCG does not address (airfield friction, for example), however, the core areas like moving columns and IA aircraft are now available in Dogfight mode. For a full list of additions and fixes, see below.

Additions to Version 3.46

Added code to create basic "Moving Dogfight Server" (MDS) missions. To activate, set the MDS dropdown box to "Yes" on the "Dogfight Server Settings" panel. Changed the "AI Only" box to a dropdown with new categories for MDS type missions. Fixed carrier planes availability in Dogfight Mode. Added basic tracking for AI plane losses in MDS missions. Tweaked CAP chances for AI squadrons located with player's squadron. Fixed settings for IL2SC. Fixed allegiance of default Polish squadron and new Italian squadrons. Fixed respawning ship bug. Fixed log path issue (when the eventlog parameter contained both a path and a file name). Fixed column path bug which made them not spawn when defending bridges. Increased aircraft id sizes to 30 and name sizes to 35 in the class.dcg, allpayloads.dcg and payloads.dcg files. Old files will automatically be modified to the new sizes when first used by DCG. Added new skill category "Default - No Aces". Added "PilotType" time table command to restrict squadrons to all human or all AI pilots for Coop and MDS missions. Fixed Italian squadrons being "British". Recognized "carrier" as the equivalent of "CV". Move start dates back to 1914. Added seasons and random wind conditions based on the current weather conditions. Fixed "born place" bug. Added drop down on the Dogfight Server panel so server operator may set whether or not to create a Russian language properties file in addition to one in another language; removed the automatic creation of the file as it was being loaded on some servers ignoring the other language chosen.

Note: After installing, remember to reset your basic options and, if using DGen or NGen Replacement modes, make sure these options are re-checked before running IL-2 Forgotten Battles, Pacific Fighters or 1946. Mods which have made changes to the event log may not work with IL2DCG.

Libya 1941

Cirenaica, Libya, April 1941.

The siege of Tobruk started on 10 April 1941, when Tobruk was attacked by an Italian-German force under Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel and it continued for 240 days, when Tobruk was finally relieved by the Eighth Army during Operation Crusader.

Important: This campaign requires IL2 modded with Ultrapack 2.01 and HSFX enabled.

Iasi 1944 Campaign Posted

In April 1944, the Russian push towards Germany stalls and the front stabilizes. Along the Dnestr to the East and the two relatively small rivers Bahlului (east of Iasi), and Reut (between Kornesti and the Dnestr) in the North, both sides dig in. On the Axis side, big defensive lines of up to 50 kilometres in depth are prepared, including the “Trajan Line”. Here some 60% of the armored ground forces available in the East are concentrated together with large parts of the Luftwaffe including the elite units Schlachtgeschwader 2 and Jagdgeschwader 52.

Meanwhile, the Red 2nd Tank Army is brought back to full strength and is ready to attack again by the end of the month. In early May, the battle of Targul-Frumos erupts and the battle for Iasi begins.

Created by "yogy". For more information about this campaign, see his website "yogysoft".

IL-2 Dynamic Campaign Generator 3.45 Posted

Additions to Version 3.45

Increased number of custom paint scheme types to match number of plane types (was causing an "access violation error" using certain mods). Fixed kill credits. Improved patrol box patrol path creation. Fixed some flights of fighters flying at extremely low altitudes.

Note: After installing, remember to reset your basic options and, if using DGen or NGen Replacement modes, make sure these options are re-checked before running IL-2 Forgotten Battles, Pacific Fighters or 1946. Mods which have made changes to the event log may not work with IL2DCG.

Note: After installing, remember to reset your basic options and, if using DGen or NGen Replacement modes, make sure these options are re-checked before running IL-2 Forgotten Battles, Pacific Fighters or 1946. Mods which have made changes to the event log may not work with IL2DCG.

IL-2 Dynamic Campaign Generator 3.43 Posted

Additions to Version 3.43

Added new planes available in the game's 4.09 patch. Flights per squadron will now more accurately reflect the current number of aircraft a squadron has as compared to the number of planes per flight. For example, a squadron with four planes with two planes per flight will be able to fly two flights rather than one. Made crewseats.dcg campaign folder unique - DCG will use the one in the main data folder if none exist in the campaign folder. Fixed noseart to display on late-war US planes. Fixed "IAK" squadrons being treated as German. Added "Beachhead Reset" option to both the menu and the time table commands; this option allows the user (or campaign creator) to determine what units do when they advance onto a beachhead location - if this option is active, units will be removed, if unchecked, the units will not advance onto the beachead but remain at the location just before the beachhead and defend it. Improved display of newsbriefs. Tweaked replacement pilot skill levels to bring them more in line with the squadron skill level.

Note: This version of DCG should not be installed over versions older than 3.01. Please make a clean install. Campaigns started with versions of DCG numbered less than 3.01 will NOT work with this version. After installing, remember to reset your basic options and, if using DGen or NGen Replacement modes, make sure these options are re-checked before running FB/AEP/FP or FP.

IL-2 Dynamic Campaign Generator 3.42 Posted

Additions to Version 3.42

Added ferry spawning in Dogfight campaigns. Added a ground contact distance setting so that players move the spawning distance of tanks and trucks back from zero to five waypoints (on Ground War Editor Panel). Added command "ShipsRemainSunk On/Off" to Time Table. Fixed an endless loop in the campaign generation routine when a "Jv", "RAP" or "MTAP" squadron was being used. Ships that crash will now remain sunk. Added to code prohibit more than one instance of DCG to run at a time (but it will allow DCG to run as "Dgen.exe" or "NGen.exe" and as "DCG.exe" at the same time). Added "Random" time passage setting; on this setting, time will advance either one, two or three days between missions.

Note: This version of DCG should not be installed over versions older than 3.01. Please make a clean install. Campaigns started with versions of DCG numbered less than 3.01 will NOT work with this version. After installing, remember to reset your basic options and, if using DGen or NGen Replacement modes, make sure these options are re-checked before running FB/AEP/FP or FP.

Defense of Darwin (Version 1.1)

Along with the release of IL2DCG is an update of the 457th Squadron’s "Defence of Darwin 1942" campaign (Version 1.1).

Made seaplane bases active in Dogfight Mode. Fixed the transfer from Pearl Harbor to New Guinea campaign.

Darwin 1942 Campaign Released

On 19 February 1942, under the protective umbrella of a carrier strike force, the Japanese struck Australia near the port of Darwin. The historical raid consisted of two strikes (one sea-based and one land-based). Though the raids caused widespread fear that Australia itself might be invaded, no invasion was launched...until now....

457 Squadron’s "Defence of Darwin 1942" DCG Campaign version 1.00 is a third party Il2DCG add-on campaign for Il2DCG Version 3.39 (or later), to be used in DGen and NGen Full Replacement-Auto mode in single and/or on-line game-play.

Required: "IL-2 1946" version 4.09bm1 "patched and AAA modded" version as well as Neil Lowe’s Darwin map. For full requirements see the "ReadMe" in the download.

Note: this third party campaign is not supported by Lowengrin.com but by No457_Stonehouse at no457.com.

MDS Dogfight campaigns are possible. To activate, set the MDS dropdown box to "Yes" on the "Dogfight Server Settings" panel. After you create the campaign, there will be an MDS.dcg file in the DCG campaign folder. You'll need to drop whatever parameters you want into it (you cut and paste them from a mission you design in the FBM).

EvilJoven on 26 Jan : 18:25

Is it possible to generate a hybrid co-op MDS Dogfight campaign? I fly with a lot of newbies and impatient people who like the campaigns but would rather have respawning.

It'd be awesome if I could host MDS dogfights and then after a set amount of time bring down the server and generate the next mission with an advancing front line.

D-XXI on 25 Jan : 09:37

That is good news! Thank you. Paul

Lowengrin on 24 Jan : 18:44

Well, since you asked. Yes, I've been working slowly to add the new planes and ground units. I also want to make a few tweaks to the code itself.

D-XXI on 24 Jan : 09:16

Helo Paul,

I was wondering if you are planning to release a new version with the new planes of 4.11 in it? I'd love to be able to use the TBD-1 in the Pacific campaigns and fly teh new Mosquito in an anti-shipping role.

Lowengrin on 20 Jan : 15:51

Yes, AI stats are reset along with their name and rank.

windweapon on 20 Jan : 15:04

Quick question, do AI kill stats (air and ground) reset when killed/captured, along with their skill level?

Lowengrin on 18 Jan : 21:42

Hi Ducon,

Unfortunately changing the way nationalities work in DCG would be a huge code re-write. Not something I'm really prepared to do at this point.

idefix44 on 17 Jan : 16:08

Our server, Ciel-De-Guerre, use IL2 DCG 3.46 with the IL2 1946 DS 4.11m. All works fine.

Treetop64 on 17 Jan : 10:06

Sorry Paul,

I thought about it and decided it was probably more approriate to ask this question in the forums instead. It's just too easy to pop in here and drop a question in the chatbox, though!
