Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY - For 4.11

[Blackjack]

Is anyone working on getting the conf.ini only graphic options (like water=x Forest=3) into the game GUI as options ?

Currently the options for forests are reset, also the landgeom detail option "3" (for the increased view distances) cant be set, it would be cool to have something like "detailed options" button where one could select forest/water/landgeometry.

On another note: Is the old IL2 style widescreen support planned to come back or is that impossible (buried in the code) ?

Just fire up the original il2, a complete fullscreen mission editor , neatly positioned speedbar/infobar (as I understand these can be repositioned with configuration options in the future ?).

Thats stuff that would motivate me to start coding for il2

Looking forward to any additions to the state of the AI (supercheck6 and cloud-o-vision come to mind), maybe some time a option for deteriorated aircraft setting (90% performance), this could be very nice for external campaigngenerators....

aah the possibilities...

Keep up the good work and thx for caring !

We need a dynamic Western Front Campaigns for Germany,France,United States, and United Kingdom.

also I would say the invasion of Poland wasn't included so you can add that to the western Front Campaign ?

Dynamic campaigns are outside Daidalos' scope for the moment. Simply put DCG is an external program and DGen is property of Starshoy who never parted with the sourcecode and has been unreachable for years.

Cough...Replace DGen with DCG...cough. The DGen replacement mode means that all the old DGen campaigns will still work. DCG is wonderfully configurable (to address any potential concerns) and is still evolving, so all the new features implemented in previous DT patches are readily available. Sticking with DGen hobbles the potential of DT-patched IL-2. Go with a living, evolving campaign engine rather than a dead one. I believe we have discussed this before .

That, IIRC that is, already works with DCG as it is. No need for Daidalos to do anything. DCG will remain an external application each user can download and install at their leisure.

Making DCG "official" would allow developers other than Paul Lowengrin (creator and maintainer of DCG) to update DCG, and would also allow improvements to DCG to happen in parallel with updates to IL2, rather than afterwards.

Baring a change of heart on the part of the company or a reasonable court decision overturning the previous rulings...

Any thoughts on integrating DCG?
