Check out IL2 Career Generator (ex IL2Commander) for Campaign (Russian App)

[Skoop]

Warham - Does this latest version of IL2CG still edit the start up cfg to put all logs in the logs folder which causes issues with PWCG or has that been changed ?

[Comes]

Both tools are looking for the logs in the same folder by now.

[Fazer_Beam]

Thanks Warhamm (and Ansirial, too).

Your career mode make Me rethink my approach. In the standard campaign, the focus is on completing the task and rising the score (for the unlock). If something goes wrong, hit ESC and refly mission.

But now I try to keep my pilot alive. Not taking unnecessary risks and, if outnumbered, run to fight another day.

Not so easy. Now I'm flying as attack pilot for VVS, but I already reached max level in campaign (for unlocking skins), so enemy AI and AAA have superhero aim.

[Skoop]

^ I know absolutely hate this, makes SP unplayable at Pilot level 10.  I wish I could dial it back to the gunner skill of pilot level 7.

I just tried this tool and I'm surprised by how much I like it. Tank you so much Warhamm & Co. for your work and for sharing it 

[Y-29.Silky]

Surprised this thread isn't pinned. The search function is terrible, been looking for this thread again.

Now it's pinned and deserves to be.

Stock campaign missions are mostly pretty good these days and Warhamms nice tool add more life around them.

 

Now with this and PWCG around, SP side of the game has improved considerably

[Sundown]

First post, one question ....... I've recieved an order for ground attack for my BF 109 f4 but ground attack is locked.

If a pick the G2 it says "the report indicated another plane" , any suggestions ?

 

nvm as I found out I have  to unlock the layout

Version 0,9.18:

- Squadron management.

- Logs read in real time now. Do not close the window with briefing until the end of sortie.

- Added 4th server with dead is dead rule. On this server logs are saved automatically. It is forbidden to replay and abort sorties. Introduced abort sorties counter, which is visible to all users of the program. A large number of aborts can be the basis for a user ban on this server.

- Fixed location of Soviet awards.

- Names generator. Transliteration of Russian names for the English version.

- Comments in the "Leisure" can be filtered by language. Numbering comments.

- The difficulty of obtaining Soviet awards can be configured from the historic to x5 (50 kills for the Hero of Soviet Union instead of 10).

- Added borders to buttons for Windows 8, 10.

 

Squadron Management:

 

At any point of  the game you can open edit pilot window and add or remove an existing squadron by check/uncheck "Generate squadron" option. In distinction of your pilot’s data, squadron data stored locally on your computer.

 

Successful completion of the missions, destroy the enemy by any member of your squadron will bring you as the commander the extra merit points. At the same time the loss of pilots and aircrafts, mission failing will subtract these points.

 

The squadron can make up to 5 sorties per day. This day can be only one sortie with the participation of the player. In any sortie player (unless it is in hospital at this point) chooses the formation of the group. If a player participates sortie, he will fly as the leader of the group. If this sortie is made without the participation of the player, the program will generate results.

 

Several factors affect on the results generating. Among them: the experience of the group commander, the number of aircraft in the group, experience of leaders  of pairs and triples. Recommended to assign the most experienced pilot as the commander of the group. His experience will provide additional opportunities for the successful completing of the mission, killing the enemies and chances to keep pilots and equipment intact. In front of an inexperienced pilot can lead group to death. The group leader is responsible for the entire group and receives or loses merit extra points for the actions of each member of the group.

 

The same rule applies in pairs. Lead pilot gives additional chances to succeed of the pair, but at the same time his chance to survive depends on the wingman experience. The leader also has significantly higher chance of killing the enemy.

 

Based on this, standard tactics is to appoint as the leaders the most experienced pilots. This will give the maximum chance to the group to do the job and come back alive. But you can put inexperienced pilots as leaders, and experienced pilots as wingmans. Then young pilots will begin to kill, and skilled wingmans give them an extra chance to survive. But they may be killed, because inexperienced pilot is fighting awkwardly and puts pair in dangerous situations.

 

It should also be remembered that the growth of pilots experience is non-linear. Make an average pilot from a novice is much faster than to make experienced pilot from average. A squadron consisting of the average pilots is more viable than squadron with a pair of aces and a lot of newcomers.

Great work Warhamm!

 

Thanks!

[Comes]

Thank's a lot for your hard work. Sounds great!!

[LLv24_Zami]

Tried it last night and it's working nicely. That squadron stuff is a great addition.

 

Good job, this adds much needed replayability to the stock campaign. Campaign missions are in fact pretty good these days but the frames around them have been missing.

[Warhamm]

Attention! Anyone who downloaded the latest version of 0,9.18 need to be updated. Link is the same, just in case duplicates below. Otherwise, possible crashes from the program at any time. I can not connect to developers server and therefore can not make a forced auto-updates. But at the same time I can not leave on the weekend version, which is defective works on Windows 8 and 10.

 

Version 0.9.18.2:

- Redrawing the briefing window on Windows 8 and 10 should now work correctly. For this emergency releasing this version. Thanks to Microsoft 

- Added 15 IAP Dzerzhinsky. Polk with a very interesting history. They flew the LaGG-3, La-5.

- In the settings you need for yourself to answer the question how do you feel about the Fw-190 at Stalingrad. 1) They were not there (the default). 2) They appeared in the winter. Version of Ratkin. In this case, the program will add II./Jagdgeschwader 26 "Schlageter". In my vision its fantastic. 3) Fw were throughout the Battle of Stalingrad. In this case, in addition to the versions appear Ratkin added I./Jagdgeschwader 51 "Mölders". It is of course a fantasy in the cube. But it would be desirable to fly fw ) If you choose the first option, you will not see the pilots of other players who flies on fw. So, at it was.

 

As an opponent you will not see fw in any setting. It depends on the developers. And hooray to them that no fw in the campaign.

 

For units with fw I deliberately cut the arrival of new equipment. Therefore, take care of the aircraft. The new can not give soon. Since I have, for obvious reasons, there was no historical data, the II./Jagdgeschwader 26 "Schlageter" history repeats II./Jagdgeschwader 3 "Udet" with the same airbases. I./Jagdgeschwader 51 "Mölders" history repeats III./Jagdgeschwader 3 "Udet".

Sorry for my runglish and thanks to google translate 

[LLv24_Zami]

Awesome, thanks!

 

Couple of things that I noticed. Translation of pilot names don`t work in squadron menu. Also Fw-190 options are only in russian.

[Warhamm]

Thanks for reporting 

[LLv24_Zami]

Thanks for the quick fix! Seems to be working now 

[Warhamm]

Version 0.9.21:

- Added Platzscvhutzstaffel "Pitomnik". Used Platzscvhutzstaffel Pitomnik Mission Pack by Juri_JS. With permission of course. This pack includes 13 handmade missions based on real events of those years with the names of real pilots. The program includes 12 of them. There will be transport protection with general and free hunting and interception and the inevitable escape from the Pitomnik. These missions are registered at specific dates. You may miss some of them if you lie down with a wound in the hospital for example. Between these missions will go random missions from the last two chapters of the campaign. Protect pilots and equipment. Replenishment of the personnel will be only until January 1, and it is very limited. The aircraft is missing from the start. The Staffel is generated from at least 10 pilots, some of which are aces. Platzscvhutzstaffel "Pitomnik" available to play with chapter "Winter storm".

Now that is an awesome Idea!!!

 

Now all I need is the ability to fly as a wingman in the stock campaign. 

 

Maybe you could also add Juris Sturmoviks over Stalingrad Mission Pack...

[Warhamm]

Yes it in the nearest future. But first I need to translate briefings of the missions from this pack in Russian. It takes a lot of time.

[LLv24_Zami]

Nice work as usual!

[Skoop]

That is awesome, thanks for your work.  Top notch.

Any German controlled airfield will do. Do you have mission logs enabled from startup.cfg?

Sorry, no swastikas for the stock campaign. But for other missions there are lots of great user made skins available with swastikas.

[Rowddy]

OK thanks Zami for your fast reply's i was just checking out the availeble skins   the quality is very high good job skinners

[Guest deleted@96564]

Just tried the Career Generator today for the first time and have a problem.

My first sortie is supposed to start at Tusov Airfield (Campaign -> BoS: part I -> Advance to Volga -> Tusov -> Bf 109 F-4 -> Escort).

But when i select Tusov it always wants to start the Campaign Mission "Pin to the Ground", that i have already completed.

I tried to do an escort mission from Skvorin, but that didn't count for the Career Generator (or am i using it just wrong?).

It would be very appreciated if someone could tell me how to manually select missions from Tusov, or where my mistake in using the game or CG is.

Thanks in advance

[LLv24_Zami]

Hi Osirisdeath!

 

If the Tusov is the place where scripted campaign mission is located you have to choose another airfield.

I can't check it, I'm at work.

 

Start BoS from CG and let it be on backround. When mission is finished, exit BoS and debrief in CG.

[Guest deleted@96564]

Okay, but as is stated above, i already tried that by doing an escort mission from Skvorin.

Do i have to exit BoS after the mission?

Because i didn't got any debrief screen in the CG whatsoever.

It's still saying that i have to fly my first sortie.

 

Will try again today.

[Warhamm]

 

1) Click Start Sortie button. And don't close sortie window until mission is complete.

2) Only after that start mission in the game.

3) When mission will complete sortie window will close automatically and there will be another window with mission results.

 

You dont need to exit from BoS after every mission. Use alt+tab,

[Guest deleted@96564]

Hmmm, i exactly did that.

As is said, i will try today again (if necessary more than once), and see if it works.

Thanks for the help, i will report if it worked.

[Guest deleted@96564]

It worked, i just had to try airfield (or i did something wrong with selecting Skvorin).

Now i just have to unlock some other airplanes, especially the Yak, without i cant really start a russian career =)

If I finished the one chapter of campaign can I jump to the next?

 

I finished the last summer chapter and Id like to start with too same pilot the winter campaign but I cant edit here any settings (from "Edit" button):

 

 

Is it possible?

When you get next mission app gives you direction in briefing dialog in which chapter you should play. It depends only on the current date in the app. The program does not care what kind of progress in your campaing in the game. Now your current date is 1942/10/10 its "Assault" chapter (1942, 9, 13 - 1942, 11, 12). The next is "On the eve of the counter-offensive" (1942, 11, 13 - 1942, 11, 18)

[YoYo]

@Warhamm, Thank You for Your reply,

so I must continue the campaign in the IL2CG and in the one day I will see the next chapter (winter maps after the autumn)? I'm right? 

[Warhamm]

Yes.

[YoYo]

Ok, thank you for clarification.

Im impressed this tool, really good job ! Crg!
