How do you add enemy aces to the Quick Mission Builder list of planes,..as well as make some appear in the Dynamic Campaign / Career. ?


many thanks.

At this time you can not edit the QMB list in the stock version of the sim and add new Aces.

Here is what the game manual says -
It does not give you any further explanation



-this is exactly what I want to do-
(why didn't they explain it further?!) :oops:

In the DGen folder there are several DB files for the campaigns. This is where you can add Aces for the campaign. The DB files can be opened and edited with Notepad.
Default location: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\DGen\(DB filename)

There are up to 5 pieces of information needed for each Ace.

1. Plane .mis file name (I_16TYPE24SAFONOV)
   
2. ??? Possibly the name that is shown in the briefing (I_16TYPE24)
   
3. The Aces squadron. Use the same name as the .mis file. (120IAP)
   
4. The Aces Name. Any name will work. (Safonov)
   
5. Skin or skins for the ace (skin:$Hans_Philipp.bmp $Hans_Philipp(Winter).bmp)
   The skin names go directly below the Aces name that utilizes them in the listing. I used Kraft's skins instead of Safonov's since he is using more than one.
