In addition I can't save the mission of DGEN campaign. When I quit the mission I hear a sound like "critical stop" and I must to press the "esc" key to quit the mission, but the game jump on the main page with no possibility to do "apply" to the DGEN mission...

Hmm... Sounds like you are missing something. Skin folders, I suppose. DCG requires a skin folder for every plane to work correctly.

I thought BAT has a skin folder for every plane, but now I remember I created some folders manually. I won't be home until late tonight, I'll check ASAP.

My bad. Really newbie DCG error to forget skin folders 

[Shakaali]

Trev, I'll check that when I get home.

If I try to change the planes the campaign doesn't generate, but If I keep the default planes the campaign run and is very smoothly.

I have no experience with DCG but I suppose some setting in BOG campaign?

Requires editing some files. However, editing existing campaign is pretty easy. PM me what you want, I'll give you instructions.

IIRC DIT automatically creates missing skin folders for planes included in the DCG class file.

Start DIT, specify the data files for DCG and BAT, hit 'Work from scratch', and you can even exit without saving, the eventually missing folders will be created by then.

Ok, I will PM you next.

However, apart these few troubles with BOG the main problem with DCG is that now I can't save the missions in my previous DGEN campaign (russian side 165 mission already played). There is some fix to solve this problem; if not I should delete DCG and come back to previous DGEN (I made a backup before installing DCG).

Ciao!

Just started the campaign again and it ran as smooth as silk.     

No idea what was wrong yesterday.

Best wishes,

markino, you need to revert back to original dgen from inside the DCG program before going back to dgen campaign.

Trev, this seems like a DGEN error report. Which means DCG is not in use.

Launch il2dcg, choose "Mode" and check  if there is a tick on "Replace Career Generator (Dgen)"

Tick = DCG is used as a career generator
No Tick = DGEN is used as career generator

@markino: by unticking this you can continue your DGEN campaign

...Ahemmm....How do you do it? Sorry for my silly question but is the first time I use DCG....

However...I tried again to generate an Italian campaign and now all works fine. I flew the first mission with MC200 and I shoot down a Blenheim.... Before I had generated a RAF mission and this also works fine....

I really don't know why now all works fine....

Ciao!
