I was thinking that in lieu of cracking DGen, a simple wrapper could be made to re-write the mission files after DGen has created them...
e.g. DGen creates a mission with the Beaufighter 21 and then the wrapper re-writes the file to change the Beau 21 references in the mission file to a Beaufighter 10.
It could also perhaps add the necessary lines for the wind mod and perhaps the line to get specific sound files to play during briefings etc...
It could also re-write the campaign.ini file to add in intro movies and the like.
I don't have the necessary programming skills to do this myself unfortunately but I'd be happy to help in any other way I can. I believe it would be a case of calling the wrapper DGen.exe and the original DGen something like DGen_original.exe and having the new DGen intercept calls from IL2, run the original DGen, perform the edits and pass back certain parameters to IL2 again.
Any coding experten interested in this?
