Career Mode change available Planes

[hkl204]

Hi there and a happy new year

 

I'm playing Single Player only and for the BOM, BOS and BOK Careers I'd like to change the availability of planes for just 1 or 2 squads.

 

For example in BOM Typhoon 27th Fighter Air Regiment has Mig3 sers 24 and I-16 and Gruppe 1 / JG 52 has BF 109 F-2 and F-4.

What I like to do (although not historically accurate) is to exchange the I-16 to e.g. La-5 sers 8 and the BF 109 F-2 to e.g. Bf 109 G-2.

 

All Mods I've found change a whole bunch of Squads / Planes (Il2 Extended BoX careers, BOBP East)  and the one mod thats closest to my need is discontinued (K-4s over Moscov).

Is there somebody who can help me with this?

 

Best regards

Since I dont want to bother you all the time how difficult is it to adopt this mod to BoS and BoK? Just change the Number from 13 to 14 / 15 or is it more complicated?

I'll use the Stalingrad campaign as an example.

• Download unGTP for IL-2
• Place unGTP into your IL-2 data directory.
• Create a desktop icon for unGTP.
• Drag the Scg.gtp file over the desktop icon.
• It will create a (null) folder inside your main IL-2 directory.
• Navigate to the scg folder and you'll see a series of folders (1-19 inc Scripts).
• Download Notepad++.
• Open the assets campaign folder (Scripts) and drag them to your desktop. Files = 14squadrons.cfg and 14planes-to-missions.cfg for Stalingrad.
• Open said files in Notepad++ and edit the squadrons aircraft to whatever you'd like. You'll also likely have to edit the 14planes-to-missions.cfg as well as it probably won't contain the aircraft for the dynamic campaign mission sets.
• Create a mod folder and name it whatever you want. Inside that create a data folder and a scg folder inside data. Inside scg create a two folders titled 14 and scripts.
• Place the edited files (14squadrons.cfg and 14planes-to-missions.cfg) inside the scripts folder. Copy the 14squadrons.cfg and 14planes-to-missions.cfg files into 14 and remove the number 14 from each one.

 

Remember, whenever you make a change to any of the files it has to be duplicated on the others. So, if I were to edit 14squadrons.cfg and 14planes-to-missions.cfg those changes have to be reflected on the other two.

 

EDIT - And if you mess something up, say a delimit or parsing, you're screwed, it won't work.
