fly_zo Wrote:managed to add new Spit mk1 to DCG

this is how I've done it :

1 locate class.dcg file in data folder ( where DCG has been installed ) example : DCG\data\class.dcg

2 add this line (all in one row) to it ( just before spitVB ):

SPITFIRE1 Spitfire MK.1 gb 1 1 1 193901 194201 SPITFIRE5B SpitfireMk1 HurricaneMkIa 5000 Meters 340.00 kph Default 340.00 kph

3 now new plane can be accessed via class and squadron editor tab (dcg)

4 enjoy

cheers,
Z

thanks to Senshi .... :

Adding the Beaufighter Mk.X
By Senshi
Add this

Code:
BEAU10                   Beaufighter Mk.X      gb 1 4 1 193907 194612 none                     BeaufighterMkX      BEAU21                   3800 Meters 360.00 kph  Default     360.00 kph
after the B6N2 line

After that, startup the il2dcg.exe and go to the "Aircraft Class Settings Panel". Here you can now edit all parameters if you don't like mine, but you HAVE TO choose for each weapon setting the "default" one. Otherwise DCG won't recognize any loadouts for missions ans would abort mission generation with these planes.

Now all planes are ready to use for players. To set up a good AI surrounding and campaign weapon loadout, the following is required to be done:

Problem is: Especially bombers or CAS planes would always fly just with default loadout, usually without bombs. To fix this, you have to do the following:

Now once again open the il2dcg.exe and setup the specific loadouts in the Aircraft Class Settings Panel for each mission type to your liking.

For the lazy among us, I have uploaded a package with the files with my setup.

Just unzip it to your IL2DCG\Data\ folder and say overwrite "yes". You might consider to make a backup of your folders in any case...

Required: All current "New Aircraft"-Mods (SpitfireMkI, Bf110 G4, Beau Mk.X, Me-410)
Changes: Everything as written above, additionaly all aircraft have been marked as "playable", so the "AAA Aircraft Mod Pack" is suggested, but not required.

My files are designed for the current IL2DCG v3.38, but should work with the recent versions too.

If you encounter any errors, please report them immediately .

Making the planes choseable in the campaigns itself finally was already described elsewhere in this forum and really is a piece of cake.

Senshi Wrote:Adding the RWD 8

As this plane has no alternative payloads except Default and None, it's rather simple:

Open your IL2DCG\Data\class.dcg

and add this

I can't for the life of me figure this out.

I downloaded the class, allpayload, and payload files and installed them. Whenever I try to pick the Bf-110-G4 for a mission, it substitutes another plane, for my and all other squadrons using it. The DCG error message says that the BF-110-G4 is not present in the class file. The thing is, it IS there, and I can edit the plane in the aircraft settings panel, but I can't assign it to a squadron. I really can't figure this one out. The Beau10 works fine, it's just the Bf-110-G4.

btw, you need to edit planesXX.dat for desired campaign ( dcg install dir \data\Dgen\) .... if game dgen.exe is already replaced ( full auto mod DCG) then you need to update same file in game Dgen folder too ....

Any chance of uploading a new "package file" that includes the Hurricane D? Thanks for all the hard work.

Ah, many thanks!!!! Almost missed that you'd tacked it on.

12.07.2008, 17:59

Great Thread! This was actually the info that I was looking for. How to plug in the new planes into DCG.

THANKS to everyone who has contributed here! Keep adding to it!

I wanted to add the Me-410 series to DCG (ver 3.38 ) so I followed the directions and cut and paste the files to the correct places but aircraft doesnt appear anywhere in the aircraft class window or anywhere else in the DCG. Does anyone have any ideas to help me fix this ?

Thanks in advance,
Mog

02.08.2008, 16:07

Anyone look at the Mossie XVI yet? Just got it loaded in . . . obviously the payload files need to be tweaked first.

08.08.2008, 23:45

Mogwa . . . I just followed the instructions, and they seemed to work fine for me.

Make sure you have the "Historical Production Dates" option OFF in DCG.

Also . . one thing missing from the instructions . . were the default loadouts. I had to manually set these. No a problem using DCG (and yes . . it saves the data to payloads.dcg), but you will have o do it for all three planes . . for the various attack types (Default, Ground, Level, AntiShipping, etc).

Hope this helps . . .

It is in there, you have to open and edit the planesXXX files in your DGen folder. You have to add the plane to the list for each map you want it in. I explain this in my DCG tutorial with excerpts from actual files and examples ...
