here's the mission https://www.sendspace.com/file/dlf59u

edit: hurricane IIbs are also exploding on spawn

[Vampire_pilot]

Nope, mission works like a charm here. No Spitfire explosion on spawn, all is well for me
This is not a mission problem or a map problem (could have been as this map is heavily modded....).

What BAT version are you on? Any 3rd party mods?

post a log of that explode on spawn please.

[Kiwi]

v3.8.4, where can i find the log?

the mission works fine for me too.

the mission works fine for me too.

@kiwi: regarding the 110s flying around - just look into the mis file you have provided and you will see this - "skin0 $Greg_BF-110_as_Ki-45_4th_Sentai.bmp"
this comes from a time, when hacks were used to get a halfway decent planeset into dgen missions;

the mission itself is working on my rig, so the problem seems to lie on your end....

for the log, read here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,13457.0.html

I am testing an improvement patch for several PTO segments regarding replacing these with the real thing.

[Kiwi]

depending on the mission there will either be 3 craters and clouds of smoke or just 1/2. This is a screenshot from when it's played during the campaign. When i load up the same mission in FMB, there are no crashed planes so of course you wouldn't see anything wrong. It looks to me like it's just bad AI and it has nothing to do with DGEN, i thought it did because when i originially saw this bug the entire flight had exploded not just 1 plane. Here's the whole campaign anyway https://www.sendspace.com/file/1p9bk2

I posted a patch v5.0

For several late war PTO and CBI campaigns, Bf-110 and I-180 were used as "stand-in" models for Ki-45 and Ki-44 before they were available. With the patch the actual Ki-45 and Ki-44 will be used in AI flights. No more "strange encounters" over Asia.

[Venator77]

Looks good. Will there an edit of campaigns involving the French aircraft? For example, replacing the LaGG-3 with the actual D.520, etc?

[Vampire_pilot]

Probably not.
I won't do anything in that regard.
Besides, you can't add mod planes as selectable planes. This is hard coded to the exe.

[Venator77]

Are you sure? I edited the Bf-109 G-4 into a few of the DGen German campaigns and was able to use them before the new patches overwritten the files. I also edited some French planes in as AI and after some trial and error, I got it to work.

[Vampire_pilot]

I am fairly sure that mod planes can't be made player selectables. At least not "just like that" and all my own attempts failed.

I am also sure - and never stated otherwise - that you could insert any mod plane as AI, if you modified the right files the right way. However, this is a bit of a workload I am not going to do. I can't (and don't want to for lack of better reason) do everything alone. But if you want to modify files from this pack, you are are very much invited!

there are few enough people who know about DGEN database modding these days.
