Adding Aircraft to DGC Folder / Campaigns

[taly001]

I agree with what Treetop64 said above, but to answer your question....

is a way then that I can manually adjust the DCG Campaign executable to mimic what I place in the planesxxx.dat file?

Theres no need too as DCG already does it by its own files!
A DCG campaign will still need some .txt editing but its easier than DGen_mod and less buggy.

BTW Your il2 4.09 is way too old, I suggest you get DCG and the il2 update it needs.

Personally I still use DGen.exe version 4.0.8.6 alot,This was the last "official" DGen and lets some of the newer planes work. DGen lets you define frontline movements by date which I like for some of my campaign designs.
