Also, it would be great if you updated Dgen and Ngen. Newer planes and more options/variety would be awesome.

Team Daidalos have done brilliant work, the fact that it cant be incorperated into dgen is very disapointing. Paul Lowengrin is still doing amasing work with DCG, has it been considered to use his program instead of Starshoys dgen or maybe look at what Rowans BOB has achieved? Not everybody likes flying online, not everybody has an internet conection capable of good online play. So what can be done for the offline simmer? |

Disclaimer: The following is my personal opinion. It's not the official stance of Daidalos (if we even have such a thing WRT this problem
 ).I am playing offline, too. Exclusively. I don't like the way online games are set up, their insane fighter fixation and the lack of historical accuracy. Which is why I stick to offline gaming. Now when it comes to campaigns a lot of people praise DCG. I understand their fascination but I do not join the chorus of praise here. In fact neither DGen nor DCG are what I'd consider a good and accurate campaign within the confines of Il-2. One does too little for immersion and is too clumsy (DGen), the other does too much and and also does things I consider cardinal sins for a historical campaign (DCG). I greatly prefer solid handmade campaigns of short duration, with an adequate storyline and the right details to make them immersive. But besides that issue (which is totally personal and not representative) it's a little bit tricky in a different way. I am wary of simply exchanging DGen with DCG since I do not know what exactly was the deal between Starshoy and Oleg when DGen was developed. It may be legally questionable to simply remove DGen from the equation ... this is a consideration we have to keep in mind. So what could be done is adding little bits and pieces to make life easier for Paul Lowengrin (if he wishes). I don't know how much time he wishes to spend with Il-2 anymore (now that CoD is close to release, and I remember comments by Paul that he doesn't wish to add much more due to real life issues). I think it should still be up to each player to separately download and install DCG if he wishes ... that option is always available. But to give DCG a major rework, to go over all the campaigns and redo them where necessary is a task that is probably too time consuming (and not really a task for Daidalos, if I may say so) at this point. |

What frustrates me is TD creates all these new aircraft & the only way they can be used is either in static campaigns, single missions, DCG once updated or by using "what I must not speak of" in conjunction with Dgen.
Will the new triggers being worked on ad some dynamism to static campaigns? |

What about adding some sort of DCG not as a replacement, but as an addition? (of course if authors of it would help you integrating it with Il-2) Would you consider adding it in that case? (not promising anything, I understand)
Also, about my request at page 32, if it can help you: we played coop with my friend online, and noticed that parts of phrase that pilots don't pronounce may differ at different players PCs, like sometimes I don't hear bot speaking, but see his phrase in chat, while the other player does hear it, and vice versa or the same at both players, etc. P.S.: IMHO, some of you guys are overrequesting with planes, every plane is a huge work, taking a lot of time, and TD are not full time employees and they work on the patch on their free time, they are not paid for it. And probably they already have a set of planes that they are working on, or planning to work. I mean, maybe it's ok to ask if they could make some important or interesting aircraft if they'd have some spare resources, but gee... asking for, like, dosen of planes at the same time, one after another? Meh. |

csThor, isn't TD in contact with Oleg? He should probably remember deals with Starshoy. But anyway, if leaving dgen and ngen still available in game, it wouldn't be some kind of violation of deal, IMHO.
About DCG's issues, it's not necessary to include DCG ASAP, right? It is better to get flaws of it's fixed with your help and guidance. We're patient, we could wait for 2 weeks. :D Also, sorry for off-topic, is there a thread for 4.11 patch's update news yet? |
