i remember reading about that modded map somewhere (probably here) but i don't have it. i don't even know where it's available...maybe here...dunno. i can't say for sure about the stock DGEN, but as far as "i" know, if the map is made properly and installed correctly DGEN "should" run it fine, but then again just like with DCG somebody would have to "create" the DGEN campaign for it. i am "sure" however that DCG could use that map...again if it is a good map and installed properly in IL2. but as said above about DGEN, somebody would have to "make" a campaign that would use it to draw the DCG mission with.
there is some confusion from a lot of folks about how DCG uses the game's maps. DCG does not use the map like the game does...it (the map) does not have to be part of DCG's internal workings like it does for the game. rather DCG only uses the game's maps to DRAW out the missions (as they are generated) much like you yourself would draw it out inside the game's full mission builder. :wink:
DCG only needs something (the campaign files that somebody creates) to point it in the right direction (which game map the campaign is calling for) and provide it with the other things (roads, ship routes, ground units, planes, static objects, etc...) that is needful for it to generate a nice mission when called to do so. so if the map works okay inside the game itself...and somebody "instructs" DCG where to look for that map (by building the campaign files) then DCG will always be able to use that map.
hope that helped ya...
