most people seem to be able to use mods with available amount of instructions

if you dont, dont blame the site

Hey dude, just asking.

There's a lot of stuff there. I just get frustrated as with all Il-2 modding there always seems very little comprehensive explanation of how to run things, or even what a mod is all about, it's objectives and what it changes compared to other games I have modded. Ironically SAS are the only people who seem to approach that on this website, which is how and why I turned my way here.

Its okay man.
I do not mod other games, so i can not compare. oaky maybe silent Hunter III...
what i know tho is that what you got there is one of the most comprehensive packages created, and has its first roots in 200...7? 2006?

I can also see the wish to do something useful with "the stuff inside", and that missions and campaigns are a means to dive into the time, the era, the plane and the context.

I just found your choice of words rather poor!
all you said you saw was the new planes, and were already scratching your head.

had you taken an hour of tiime to check out the stuff you find in the full mission builder...
or made a tour of the optional Mods in jsgme...

you would not have said what you said.

so yes, take your time to discover, take your time to compare the default game, and the modded game. some changes are OBVIOUS, like The redone Mig-3 models.
Some are less.

Some you will like, some you won't.

I had other modding experiences, Stalker, Total War Series, Operation Flashpoint.
One thing was common, you had to read thru the forum in order to get familiar with modding that game.
Sometimes the info you need is not in the first post so you need to take time and study the subject, use site search but also Google. Dont expect miracles in few days.

Ok, got DBW running in Il-2 4.10. Didn't know anything bout the Il-2 Selector, hadn't seen any instructions about that.

btw

Step 4 ~ Open the IL-2 Selector.exe, and make a setting of your choice, and save that setting. It is important to save the setting at least once after installation, to allow the new selector to set itself up properly. Read the included selector pdf guide in the DBW 1.7 dox folder for more info. After that you can launch your game either with the selector or with the il2fb.exe it creates.

Thanks. I grabbed a few of the campaigns and am enjoying them. I did go ahead and get DCG and am figuring that out, I grabbed some of the already modded DCG campaigns and they're good too. Like being able to fly torpedo bombers finally.

I've come cross a few issues:

Game will not run with widescreen support enabled in JSGME.
Cannot seem to get the WestFront maps to load  with JSGME for the Hurricanes over France campaign.
      I have JSGME v2.6.0.157 is this correct?

In DCG Korea 1950-53 V1.6 DBW  campaign- The Sabre and a few other american jets blow up on the tarmac or on the carrier as soon as the game starts, but not prop driven aircraft. But this does not occur in quick mission, meaning it may be a map issue?

The F-84 thunderjet cannot get airborne, either when I fly it or with AI in campaign or quick mission, as if it's too under powered

Any ideas?

WestFront44 maps are included in DBW.
You dont need JSGME to mod this game, all it does is to copy folders into your #DBW folder.
Its only practical when you need to turn a mod on and off very often.

Exploding planes usually mean bad/missing loadout in the mission.
DCG campaign needs to be updated for DBW 1.71 (?)

Hmmm, when I try to run the Hurricanes over France campaign it comes up with an error that it cannot find the map.

The WestFront44 map was there but not the 1940 map. Figured it out.
