IL2DCE: A dynamic campaign engine for IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

[41Sqn_Banks]

Good day for an update, isn't it?

Here we go: http://il2dce.googlecode.com/files/IL2DCE-0.2.0.302.exe

Please run the uninstaller before you apply the new version. Read more:
http://code.google.com/p/il2dce/wiki...install_IL2DCE

Know issues:
- Deleting a career doesn't update the list, you need to go back to the main menu
- Detonators/Fuzes are not set, depending on the generated altitude the bombs may not explode

Note that this release should be considered as a "release candidate" and wasn't tested on different systems.

Downloaded it and flew a first mission. Worked very well, many thanks to you .

Just a couple of questions if I may.
I started as Leutnant for blue, was the last plane on take off, yet had << markings on my plane which leads me to believe I was supposed to be flight leader. My flight did not recognize me (escort mission btw). Should I take off manually or in auto pilot? The first time around I chose auto.

Two flights of emils took off E1s and E4s, my flight was with the E4s. Upon return to the airfiled all the E1s had most unfortunate contact mishaps with the ground, yeah they crashed after being called down for landing.

Other than that everything seemed to work as intended, had even great frame rates, thanks again for all your work you are putting into this.

That's an IL2CoD AI bug, it does not have anything to do with IL2DCE.

I assume you mean the bug is that the flight didn't recognize me, I know that this bug is there, not blaming IL2DCE. With TEF CG for example the workaround was to take off in auto, once airborne you switch back to manual and your flight would follow you. That's the reason why I am asking .

By default Cliffs of Dover uses the user defined markings which are set in the "Plane Settings" menu in the briefing screen. I will try to correct this in a future release where I will overwrite the player setting.

I think AI or airfield related bug. Did the other flights land successfully?

Yes they did land just fine. Please note when I write about things that could be considered a bug I am fully aware that it may have nothing to do with IL2DCE but rather with the game itself.
Just thought it might be good for you to know anyways, even if there is not much you can do about it.

Keep up the good work

just wanted to let you know that i found a bug... when play the HE111 career the AI planes all crashe into the hill on the end of the runway and i can't make it either when it's emptey (for recon missions) i can take off but obly with like a meter space between me and the hill. Hope this can be corrected?

S!

Small bug report:

1. Playing as Bf-110 pilot, the first A.I pilot to take off crashes in to the small elevation at the end of the runway.

2. Fuses, yes it's a known problem but what's the point of flying ground attack missions in Erg.210 if neither mine or my A.I companions bombs won't explode? Doesn't matter at which altitude I drop the bombs, they won't explode, yes they are armed.

Small requests:

1. Could a Zerstörer campaign be added? i.e. ZG 26 with only air-air/recon missions.

That's all for now, yet again, thanks again for this great addition to CloD. It has really invigorated my interest in the game again.

It is a great day! Thank you for your hard work!

Is there a chance to use it online on a dedicated server, e.g. for generating air-missions on Repka Steppe map?
