The latest build of IL-2 DCG is now ready for download.

Additions to Version 3.37

Added mini-Manchuria 1945 campaign. Fixed bug in timetable routine which impacted the "NewColumn" command and other date specific commands. Fixed "SetDate" time table command. Fixed bug in "NameColumn" command when the column is a carrier so that the squadrons remain attached even after the name change. Fixed bug in bomber density control. Added "Random Nose Art" option (works only on American bombers and some ground-attack planes). Fixed minute display in briefings. Fixed crash resulting from a human gunner shooting down a friendly. Added routine to move inactive human players (on-line modes) to the gunner.dcg file if the squadron has more than 16 human pilots. Fixed bug in campaign transfer that was creating new squadrons without new pilots. Fixed bug that centered the X/Y coordinates of a friendly location with a friendly ground unit. Fixed carrier to airfield transfers. Added special location designations (ie: "Airfield", "Station") to the messages to allow for translation in briefs/debriefs. Improved tracking of players switching from pilot to gunner and a bug in gunner kill tally. Fixed bug that prohibited shipping strikes when there were was no patrol (.prd) file for the map. Fixed default weapon selection box. Improved escort paths for flights originating off the map. Added some randomness (based on range) to land-based bombers making shipping strikes. Corrected delayed start settings for coop missions so flyable squadrons would not be impacted. Corrected check for destroyed static object game end. Added a squadron "SetFuel" time table command.

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 new 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.

Two thumbs up! Thanks Low!

One of the best utilities to IL-2! Thanks for the update Lowengrin!

Can't seem to find the Manchuria 1945 Campaign.
What should I be looking under.

My fault. I forgot to add it to the DGen data files for off-line campaigns. You can get it by creating your own "custom" campaign. Just run DCG and set up the mode you want to use. Then click the globe and select your country and the campaign - Manchuria should be second from the bottom. Then hit start and follow the instructions generated.

Thanks Lo. Some handy little improvements to an already great program

Thanks for the great job.

I have some difficulty to find a really comprehensive tutorial (at least for me) for the DCG serie.
Can someone point me to a satisfying one , please ?

For instance, I tried yesterday a "Dgen replaced" P51 Japan campaign and from the very beginning of the 1st mission, B29 escort, I found myself leading a unique escort squadron for 40+ bombers which rapidly rammed in each other for most of them (huge fireball and big hit in FPS)...so what have I to do to get more friendly fighters squadrons and less bombers (crashing). Thanks.

Sweet!

Paul,

I have been a long time user of your generator, thank you again for updating this!

The bombers crashing is actually a bug in the formation setup code which was reported almost immediately AFTER posting the 3.37 build. I think I fixed it on the weekend so if you'd like to retry the campaign with the new code, either email me or drop me a note at my site with your email address and I'll send you a new beta. As for getting a comprehensive tutorial, there's a number of articles at the Lowengrin site and lots more available at the forum. But I don't think any one has created a comprehensive player's manual. I know I haven't.

Thanks for your answer, Lowengrin.

I can naturally wait till it is fixed, no need to send me a beta version, I'll DL the next DCG next time it will be on your site.

Cheers.
