I haven't tried it yet, but it appears that it would be possible to edit the json file to reference the new AI Expansion vehicles if desired.

 

Which new vehicles are those?

I would need to make a little change in the code so you can add new tanks yourself in a config file. Added to backlog..

HELLO great job congratulations, but there is no possibility to also put the other maps, such as normandy for tanks it is useless, I bought it like all the others because I was convinced that it included functions for tank crews, and instead I have never seen not even panther g, if you can put them at least we use them like this!! thanks bye

New update v11 is out!

 

Release Notes:

-Separate vehicles.json file in \data subfolder with all defined vehicles/tanks. Actual availabilty is determined by maps.json
-Moved maps.json to \data subfolder
-Added "Sd.Kfz. 234" as Axis scout vehicle for both maps
-Removed "Forward airstart" option, not relevant for Tank Crew
-Disabled "Enemy targets visible" option as it was never implemented

 

As requested I have made some changes so that it is now possible to add tanks/vehicles yourself:

• First add the tank to the data structure in \data\vehicles.json. Make sure to use a proper text editor and adhere to the json format. For now, all that matters is that the tank ID and the tank name are filled id. The other values are not used, but (perhaps) for future use
• Second, add the name of the tank (not the ID) to maps.json. If added to "tanks_allied" or "tanks_axis" it should be a playable tank. If added to "scouts_allied" or "scouts_axis" it can be AI only.

Since I moved some files around, please delete your previous install before installing this version.

Yes, there is a possiblity. Here I have described how to do it: https://sites.google.com/view/il2-great-battles-emg/template-creation?authuser=0

The Lapino map was added this way by DD_Friar 

 

However, the real problem is that the other maps are not detailed enough for tank battles. Take this area around Mortain and compare IL2 map with a  real map:

Thanks for posting the screenshot. You are doing nothing wrong, there was a typo in the tank definition for the SU-152.

I have fixed this, please download new version here: https://sites.google.com/view/il2-great-battles-emg/home

FYI:  Selecting the “infinity” quantity of any mode, for any tank quantity, and basically everything else, will result in a mission not being generated with appropriate error message, in versions 10, 11 and 11b.

Getting the error cannot generate mission again

Where can you set "infinity" ????

[SGT_WHITE]

This is what I am getting currently 

Tried without T34's and got the same ERROR:Could not generate mission!
