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
Code:
SPITFIRE1 Spitfire MK.1 gb 1 1 1 193901 194201 SPITFIRE5B SpitfireMk1 HurricaneMkIa 5000 Meters 340.00 kph Default 340.00 kph
in a new line after the SBD5 line
Adding the Bf110 G4
By I/ZG52_gaga
Add this
Code:
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
right after the Bf110G2 line
Adding the Me-410 Hornisse A, B, D
by Senshi
Add this
Code:
ME_410A Me-410 A de 2 4 1 194311 194612 ME_410B ME-410-A ME_210CA1 4000 Meters 400.00 kph Default 400.00 kph

ME_410D Me-410 D de 2 4 1 194406 194612 none ME-410-D ME_410B 4000 Meters 400.00 kph Default 400.00 kph
after the Me323 line
Adding the Beaufighter Mk.X
By Senshi
Add this
Code:
BEAU10 Beaufighter Mk.X gb 1 4 1 193907 194612 none BeaufighterMkX BEAU21 3800 Meters 360.00 kph Default 360.00 kph
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

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.
