Hi, I hope I am in the right place for this.
So here is my problem, I couldn't find the same issue anywhere and all trying everything that helped people with problems close to mine didn't help.
So I followed all the steps from the DCG guide by Scharnhorst1943 and some other (mostly identical) instructions form forums. have the IL2DCG folder in my main folder, copied the dgen folders and so on, told dcg where to look for the exe files, have the modes checked to auto gen and replace dgen, loaded a third party campaign (I tried multiple) folder and selected it in the DCG program, hit generate campaign, closed DCG (and tried it without closing it) started IL2 (BAT WAW) went to the campaign selection, found the "player generated campaign (campaignname)" and then I don't know what to do.
If I click the campaign select button I come to the squad/plane selection window, if I click start nothing happens. The game doesn't crash or freeze, but I get kicked out of it in a way. my cursor changes to my default windows cursor, while the in game cursor stays still on the start button. But it doesn't generate anything and stays in the selection screen. I can go back to the main menu, nothing else.
When I try to generate a mission via DCG it says, that I have to select or create a campaign. But how and where? I thought I created a campaign, when I hit "run - generate campaign"... and it does show in game, but why wont it load?
I tried these steps in all ways I could think of, but I always end up with it doing nothing.
I don't even think its a problem with DCG, just that I do something wrong. But since I followed every single tutorial I could find by the letter I just don't know what it is.
Some tutorials mention, that I have to load a campaign so that DCG has something to work with, but it doesn't load any of the DCG campaigns, and if I load a non DCG and non DGEN campaign nothing changes, it will load and play, but it seemingly has no influence on DCG. If I try loading a DGEN campaign its exactly the same as with the DCG campaigns, but this makes sense, since I deactivated DGEN in DCG.
If anybody knows what Im doing wrong, please help me it would be very much appreciated. I try this for a long while now, give up and try it again some month later...
