DCG: An idiot's Guide

So im sorry if so, I scanned through this topic and ran short of time so I thought I would simply ask...

Is it possible to set up the DCG to play with the Aircraft mods. I have tried to make a B-17 DCG campaign for example, and it always tells me Unavaiable Aircraft when I do, or something to that effect.

Let me know if any of you could if there is a fix for this, Thanks so much for your time and consideration towards my question!

I would be glad to answer your question. There are two steps.

1) open up DCG and go to the icon with the black plane on a grey background. In the top left should be a dropbox with plane names. Simply select the plane you want to add. After selecting it, check the "flyable by players" box in the upper middle. Save and close. You must do this for EACH plane you want to add.

2) you need to go to your IL2/DGen folder. Find the campaign you wish to add the plane to. Open up the corresponding "planesXXX" file. In this file you will see something that looks like this:

[France]
BF_109E4
JU_87B2

Simply add the plane name under the map name. So if you wanted to add the Bf-110C to the German Europe campaign, you would do this:

[France]
BF_109E4
BF_110C4
JU_87B2

Save this file, and now if you start that campaign, the new plane is available to select.

Hope this helps, if you still can't get it, or if you need the plane ID's, let me know.
