DCG has a DGen/NGen replacement mode where all the old DGen campaigns remain workable (it is really easy to activate -- just check the box). This should alay any legal fears as DGen is basically selectable with this. As for the possibility of adding DCG as the default dynamic campaign engine, I corresponded with Lowengrin prior to DT4.10's release and he stated that he was interested in pursuing this but that he hadn't thought of or spoken to DT about it. Hopefully something will happen soon. The questions CsThor raised concerning what DCG does and doesn't bring to Il-2 are valid but I think the main concerns can be overcome with careful adjustment of the campaign engine's settings. DCG can be set up in a future DT patch with a "default mode" that brings all the immersion goodies of DCG to IL-2 but is adjusted to account for and control the concerns about historical accuracy (please list these, CsThor
). The user should still be able to alter the campaign settings to take full advantage of what DCG can do (perhaps with a warning that the selected settings may result in ahistorical results). In conclusion, I think the concerns about DCG have merit but they can worked around/adjusted for and I think that the whole offline IL-2 community will lose out if this isn't at least looked at by DT.
