IL-2 FB DCG question

XabbaRus · 04-23-07, 04:01 PM

I downloaded the DCG from the Lowengrin website but am having so many problems.

My game is IL-2 FB fully patched to 1.22.

No mods at all. I try running the DCG according to insturctions but when loading a mission it throws upand error about this missing file or that missing file.

I can't get my registration on their forum authorised even when I e-mail the admin.

Can some one pelase help me.

I'll post my error messages later but usually it is a loadout not existing for a particular aircraft etc.

I remember having similar problems too. IIRC, you had to either delete something or download something. I'll check the forums and I'll be right back.

Ok, here's something to check. Go to the folder of the new campaign (generated after you first try to start it and it gives you the error), which can be found in missions-> choose country-> and there you should see the campaign folder (for example my BoB campaing folder is named 'DGen_Y_Britain40doe0'). Go to the folder and look for a file called 'squadrons.dcg', open it with notepad and see if the first squadron in the list is named 'Player Squadron'/'Player', if it is, delete that squadron -> save the file and try the campaign again.

The folder of the new campaign is that the folder in IL2 directory or the one in the DCG directory?

The one in the IL2 directory. The player squadron thing might have been fixed in the version you have, but wont hurt to check it.
