Apparently I'd forgotten that I'd upgraded my DCG to version 3.37. I rolled back to version 3.36 and now I can fly this beautiful spit in a DCG campaign. Downside is that this method might not work in DCG version 3.37. Of course, my version of DCG 3.37 might have been corrupted. Anyone successfully using the Spit 1 in a DCG campaign using DCG 3.37?

Ok, i just tested it (337) and got the same error ( weapon...air...) .... but then i opened DCG and in class editor tab assigned weapons for spit1 .... and all is working fine, no more errors ...


so set up armament for Spit1 in class editor tab (DCG) and you should be fine


cheers,

Excellent! Thanks for working that one out, Z. I'll upgrade back up to DCG 3.37 and set her up via Class Editor.

Cheers mate!

well , I/ZG52_Gaga sorted that out .... just make sure you reset the values for Bf-110-g4 in class tab (DCG) afterwards ...

I/ZG52_Gaga Wrote:Ok 1 more thing here ...

DCG .....

i enter this line in Class.dcg file :

BF_110G4 BF-110-G4 de 2 1 1 194111 194602 FW_190A6 BF-110-G4 FW_190A5165ATA 5000 Meters 410.00 kph Default 410.00 kph

and everything is fine

Overview of adding planes - Senshi - 08.05.2008

Just to make an overview:

Adding new planes to DCG and campaigns is rather simple if you know where to look:

Open the IL2DCG\Data\class.dcg

Adding the SpitfireMkI:
By fly_zo
Add this
in a new line after the SBD5 line

Adding the Bf110 G4
By I/ZG52_gaga
Add this
right after the Bf110G2 line

Adding the Me-410 Hornisse A, B, D
by Senshi
Add this
after the Me323 line

Adding the Beaufighter Mk.X
By Senshi
Add this
after the B6N2 line


After that, startup the il2dcg.exe and go to the "Aircraft Class Settings Panel". Here you can now edit all parameters if you don't like mine, but you HAVE TO choose for each weapon setting the "default" one. Otherwise DCG won't recognize any loadouts for missions ans would abort mission generation with these planes.

Now all planes are ready to use for players. To set up a good AI surrounding and campaign weapon loadout, the following is required to be done:

Problem is: Especially bombers or CAS planes would always fly just with default loadout, usually without bombs. To fix this, you have to do the following:
Open the IL2DCG\Data\allpayloads.dcg

Adding correct payloads for Beaufighter Mk.X
Add
before the first BEAU21 line

Adding correct payloads for Me-410 Hornisse versions
Add
after the Me323 line

Now once again open the il2dcg.exe and setup the specific loadouts in the Aircraft Class Settings Panel for each mission type to your liking.


For the lazy among us, I have uploaded a package with the files with my setup.

Just unzip it to your IL2DCG\Data\ folder and say overwrite "yes". You might consider to make a backup of your folders in any case...

Required: All current "New Aircraft"-Mods (SpitfireMkI, Bf110 G4, Beau Mk.X, Me-410)
Changes: Everything as written above, additionaly all aircraft have been marked as "playable", so the "AAA Aircraft Mod Pack" is suggested, but not required.

My files are designed for the current IL2DCG v3.38, but should work with the recent versions too.

If you encounter any errors, please report them immediately .

Making the planes choseable in the campaigns itself finally was already described elsewhere in this forum and really is a piece of cake.

Would be helpful if you, fly_zo, could update the overview in the first post to make it easier to spot for newcomers

Hope this post helps someone and was not posted somewhere before, if so, shame on me :oops: and tell me please so I can delete this one here.

Thankyou very much for working this out for us fellers!
I'm still learning to figure out how to work DCG and I've only just installed the latest version for the first time. Of course one thing which was on my mind was about the new planes mods...

Adding the RWD 8

As this plane has no alternative payloads except Default and None, it's rather simple:

Open your IL2DCG\Data\class.dcg

and add this
after the R_10 line

If you don't like my fantasy settings, just fire up il2dcg.exe as usual and edit to your liking
