IL-2 Dynamic Campaign Generator 3.44 Posted

Additions to Version 3.44

Fixed payload lists in the Aircraft Class Settings Panel. Increased plane type limits. Added alliance dropdown box for column editing. Increased the likelihood of a transport unloading a tank/truck column at a friendly location.

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.

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.

Rise of Flight Beta Announced

It was announced on March 31, 2009, that Rise of Flight was starting closed beta testing. This testing is to be open to a total of five members of active squadrons with at least a year's history on the Web. Further details are on the Rise of Flight Blog. Finally, after years of speculation and (some) doubt, it appears the release of this game is near and that Jagdgeschwader 1 will fly again.

The Battle of Gazala 1942 by PVI_Eagle

The battle was fought around Tobruk with the Italians launching a frontal attack on British positions on May 26th. The next day, Rommel launched his panzers in a flanking manoeuvre south of the fortified "box" at Bir Hacheim. The Battle of Gazala had begun....

This dynamic campaign is based on the desert map of "IL-2 1946" 4.08m and was adapted by PVI_Eagle to represent the Libyan scenery of Cyrenaica in 1942.

Yes, that is correct. Also in the maps.dcg file, you must specify which side the Axis start on, the "MapAxis" variable.

Alex840 on 03 Feb : 11:09

Hello. I'm starting making a Libya 43 campaign and i have a question about road routes. It's my impression or all roads must be from the axis to allied side? eg. if axis occupy the north half of the map in a campaign start the routes must be north to south?

Lowengrin on 23 Jan : 17:07

Yes, it's just ships.

Treetop64 on 23 Jan : 13:55

Sorry...

...just figured out that this meant transport ships, and not aircraft, right?

Treetop64 on 23 Jan : 13:52

...though I am wondering:

Does the "...Increased the likelihood of a transport unloading a tank/truck column at a friendly location." mean that Ju-52s will be dropping off PzIIIs and PzIVs, or will this feature be properly tuned for the appropriate transport aircraft that can actually carry trucks and tanks?

THX Paul for your continous refining work on this exellent generator!

Lowengrin on 22 Jan : 10:20

Little hickup on the posting of 3.44. Apologies to anyone who tried downloading immediately after the announcement to find there was no link.

EvilJoven on 14 Jan : 06:35

Win7 wont allow users, even admin, to modify stuff in Program Files by default. Instead, install IL2/DCG to a different folder. Safer that way.

Lowengrin on 07 Jan : 18:09

Interesting. I'll have to remember that one in future.
