The latest version is 3.7.2. It was in this company that this error was also on previous versions of BAT. I’ll look at the logs at home. Deleted DGEN after using DCG. Sorry for my English.

Thanks to Whistler, we have a new full version v1.3!    See 1st post.

Oh, great.

If you (the player) didn't change your DGen for BAT in any way it is safe to install v1.3 on top.

v1.3 is a consolidated download (v1.2 + Patches), easier to install than ever, and in addition, campaign names have been tagged as "[DGen-WAW]". This way you can tell which campaign is static and which one is dynamic. Also, it is obvious now you shouldn't try to load a dynamic campaign in any module other than WAW.

Thanks vampire!

Thank YOU

This has been great fun so far! TYSM for all the hard work!

Is there a way to change the aircraft in the French campaign to make use of the ones available in the mod? As much as I love changing the aircraft manually for everyone every mission that's gets a smidge tiring, is there a way to switch up the list for each chapter of the campaign? these french fighters are all flyable and so beautifully done it's a shame to waste them!

Yes there is, but someone has to dive into learning about DGen modding and invest the time to actually modify campaigns. Mind you, all you need is basic will to learn how DGen and its system of database files work and a simple text editor - and time. That person could be you

Here is a set of useful links from the OP - it will tell you everything about DGen files and what's what. You will be able to add new planes into campaign segments afterwards. Feel free to read through it, dig into it for yourself and then share with everyone else.

I had a problem with JG26 campaign, it was blocked when a sub-campaign ends and next should start, DGenError told me this: “can't pickup starting base for new campaign.”
Weird cause I'm using UseParkedPlanes=0
But I found a note of GreyBeard in SimHQ Forums from 2004 about parked planes:

“A last question I think of general interest about this matter, that I think to have understood re-reading Amagi's tutorial:
UseParkedPlanes DOES NOT HAVE A 0 AND 1 SETTING!
Just TRUE (that's to say 1, that's to say ON) if you ADD THE LINE TO YOUR DGen option!
This explains also why it caused error when I wrote UseParkedPlanes=0, DGen read only UseParkedPlanes, not =0.
Greetings,
GB”

So I used a ";" before the line UseParkedPlanes=1 and works.

Probably a piece of information forgeted.

Evening all. Have DGEN for B.A.T. v1.4 installed and fired up a Pacific USAAF DGEN campaign. 2nd mission in, flying the P-38 and I am coming across I-185's and Bf-110's...if I recall my history correctly...that shouldn't be happening. Did I screw something up with the install?

Thanks,

Prog

The stock dgen can only use stock planes, hence the campaign creator used I-185 as Ki-44 and Bf-110 as Ki-45 stand-ins. You can get the required skins from the dgen skinpack. There's an alternative dgen by Asura, which supports mods, but it would require a lot of work to transfer all the campaigns into that.
