After reading all this:
1) It is true that EnjoyR, Boelcke and myself should propose only one version of DGen.exe in our stuff. DGen.exe version 4.0.8.6 is actually correct and I intend to use and upload that one in my next uploads. DGen.exe version 4.0.8.7 also works fine, so does version 4.0.8.8 or any other one which I edited recently: I know well because I did it myself and I can assure you that the only thing I did was to swap a couple of slot planes within DGen.exe which actually was not necessary. I realized that after I found the ClassesXXY.dat trick recently: no harm, no need either. In any case your version of DGen.exe is NOT the reason for your trouble, in case you have trouble. You just need to make sure that you have at least DGen.exe version 4.0.8.6.
2) The fix I proposed above is necessary in case you installed EnjoyR patches, which I suppose is the case for most DGen users.
3) It will work fine if you do it properly, i.e. rename all the files listed by Boelcke, with the proper characters (use copy/paste and NotePad). No need to edit files, just rename them.
4) If it still does not work, I really urge you to check that you actually did install properly all the new slot planes' mods required. To ensure that, just try them all as listed by Boelcke, in QMB. If one of them is not listed or does not work as flyable in the QMB, it will of course not work in DGen.
5) As for adding new maps are concerned, I do not know. In theory this is feasible, but we need the help from a programmer who also understands how to set the new maps' towns and airfields' locations.
