New Aircraft...can they?????????
#1

This is probably a very silly question, but.... Can the new aircraft be made available to the DGEN campaigns, and if so, how? Is one required to edit files and if so, which ones and where are they?

a hack of the DGEN.exe would be needed.

It would require a new version of dgen.exe by Starshoy (the person who made dgen). But I think he lost interest in dgen a long time ago.

Vtrelut made some of the ai-planes flyable in his French Wings campaign by editing dgen.exe with a hexeditor, but it is not possible to include the new planes this way.

Maybe there is another way to mod dgen.exe, but I don`t know how to do it. I hope some of our modding experts can answer this question.

I am with eddie.
Use DCG. Far better than DGen could ever hope to be on a good day.

I'll even help you set it up via PM.

Thank you for your replies. I thought that was probably the situation. As far as DCG goes...I have tried that on several occasions in the past and it has always resulted in a complete failure of each installation I tried it in. No thank you...that is not an option...there is too much to loose at this juncture.

Typhoon, I fully understand your frustrations with DCG. However, as someone who understands it pretty dang well, (as I am creating campaigns from scratch that include both new planes and maps and span the entire war) I am offering my expert knowledge to set you up. I know it seems like a lot of hastle at first, but it really is worth it if you stick with it. You might also check out my guide to DCG. The first page helps explain all the parameters and how to set it up.

But if you don't want my help, I respect your opinion as well. Just saying I have taught myself the ins and outs of DCG and could help you out to install it and get it working on your PC ...

Oh yes Scharn is 100% right. As much as I love player made campaigns, I dont have even one installed on my sim. I also here to help. Trust me, the moment you get the DCG down, there is no other way!!

@ Scharn: Our Greece population is nearly finished! Airfields done, harbours done, Factories nearly done....

too true.

On my 3rd attempt at installing DCG I followed Lowengrins instructions on the website to the letter.

It worked perfectly.

Excellent. Sounds great! Also, I made a break through and have all the vehicles I want to do, but just have not been able to knuckle down and make the files.
I am going to make a vehicle column mod for these campaigns. It should spice things up :wink:

Thank you for the offer Schanhorst1943. Could you direct me to your instructions so that I may review and study them. I must confess that the previous instructions on DCG have been less than one could hope for and were often confusing. I must say I would really enjoy having an option to DGEN because it has been less than exciting for some time. Without the mods, I would have given up on it long ago.

Thank you for your efforts Scharnhorst1943. I have copied your instructions for DCG and will study them this afternoon. As we seem to be in one of our "West Coast Monsoons" I will be doing that this afternoon because it is a bit damp to work outside. The only job that will have to be done is the drains on the house and once those are cleared, I will do a bit of reading. If I have any more problems, I will PM you as instructed.

With respect and thanks,
