Thanks Lonestar, I will try your suggestions. It's strange--IL-2 DCG is trying to incorporate things into the campaigns it generates that are not part of my IL-2 install. Paintschemes, ace pilots, etc. And there is no option (that I can see) to make it run in a more vanilla mode. Don't get me wrong, Lowengrin's DCG is fantastic. But if it is going to insist on using all of that stuff, then there should be an Add-on pack available for download so that it can be used without creating a bunch of unnecessary errors. I downloaded what was available at Lowengrin's site, that wasn't much, just some pilot skin packs. But I'm sure that is not what is creating the access error that is crashing the game when I try to use it. I have tried vanilla DGen and that works perfectly, although I know Il-2 DCG makes far more complex and object dense missions than vanilla DGen. But my computer can handle the objects. My frame rate is just fine--right up until the game starts hanging just before it crashes. Neither my processor nor my GPU break a sweat at all running these missions--it is not a heat problem.
I use the 1200mb exe for every map that it will let me. On some I get the Russian 3d paratroop error and have to uninstall it. With everything set up correctly, from the config.ini, to my graphics card, to having my computer error free, updated, defragged, and all unnecessary services shut down, I don't seem to really need it, but I use it when I can to have some head-room. I also use the modded voice samples to reduce radio chatter stutters.
I will try the 3rd party campaigns as you suggested. Sounds like a good idea.
Did not know about those two files you provided links to, thank you.
You know, not having those files may have been the whole problem. I think just about every plane in UP and HSFX are modded planes.
Ok. I put the UP20v1b .dcg files in the IL2-DCG data folder. Now when I try to generate a mission I get the error message: " is not a valid integer. I am aware that " is not a valid integer. It is not an integer at all, but a punctuation mark. Still, that was trying it with a bunch of mods activated. Guess I'll have to try them one by one like you suggested.
I spend more time trouble-shooting this game than I do playing it. A lot more.
