Well, technically, you could use them in DGen if you know how to amend the .mis, .dat, etc files in the specific campaign DGen folders...

I know how to edit the .mis, .dat, etc. files, but there are issues with getting things to work which aren't hardcoded in DGen.

Last time I tried to mod/build campaigns for DGen, it was somewhat dodgy getting planes to be used properly if they were not already programmed into DGen, which doesn't happen anymore since Starshoy dissappeared.

A question about the static planes and FMB.

Can we get an option to see where the default spawn points are on a specific base within each map.

This will allow Mission Builders to see where default spawn points are so that when static spawn plane spawn points are exhausted the default ones are not blocked with static objects. Haulting play for some pilots.

Cheers

In 4.11 the difficulty options are divided and grouped logically into five separate sub-pages for easier navigation. "Weapons & Stores" page has two new options and "Views" page has five new difficulty options.

Bomb Fuzes option:
When Bomb Fuzes is enabled, the arming dialog shows the new fuze selection combo boxes that were shown in earlier update and fuzes are active in the sim. When the option is disabled, the arming dialog shows same components as in 4.09 and bombs behave same way as in 4.09.

Fragile Torpedoes option:
When this options is enabled, the torpedoes can be broken easily when dropped and all the constraints introduced in 4.10 apply.

No Players Own View option:
When this options is enabled, the player cannot view his own plane in external view. However this has one exception. When player is on ground, he still can access the external view for easier taxing. As soon as the player gets airborne, he is forced back to cockpit view.

No Enemy Views option:
When this option is enabled, player cannot view any enemy external views. This also includes any static cameras which have different army color than player's own army.

No Friendly Views option:
Basically same thing as above, but for friendly external views.

No Aircraft Views option:
When this option is enabled, all aircraft (excluding player’s own) views are disabled.

No Carrier Views:
Normally the external views have always included aircraft carriers too. In some cases these views might reveal too much information for the players. When this option is enabled, the carrier views are not available.

Static cameras in 4.11 have new “army” parameter, so for example it is possible to add “red” camera to red home base which blue players cannot access. Later this might be used to create “recon cameras” that are enabled by certain triggered event or presence of recon plane.

In the Flight Model options do you really mean "Flutter Effect” (aerodynamic structural interaction phenomenon) or "Buffeting Effect" (pure aerodynamic phenomenon)?

Good job, you taught the AI how to taxi to runways. Thanks a bunch.
