Do you know if DGEN will be adapted to the new maps and aircraft from 4.09 ?

I asked the same question in the german ubi forum, cause one memeber is related to the developer studio which is working on the patch, but didn´t get an answer. I don´t think that there will come a new version of dgen.exe, cause it was made by Starshoy, not by Maddog Games and all the latest versions and patches since Il2 1946 didn´t contain any new degn.exe file. Sad.

Starshoy left the IL-2 development long time ago. Sad, but true.

What you can do is check out Paul Lowengrin's DCG @ www.lowengrin.com

I am working on a DCG-campaign for Iasi in 1944.

I have seen what Patch 4.09 brings and I have impress with it. I"am glad that IL46 has not been forgotten.I have one regret and its that his team has forgotten the Pacific Theater. I hoped that it would have bring a Map of the Philipines and the rest of Japan as to be able to mimic the Invation of the Philipines by Japan 1941 and the reconquer it from Japanese occapation in 1944.Also bee able to Raid Japan through 1944 and 1945. I would have love to to mimic the night raids over Tokyo without ever killing anyone.

I guess I will still need to use Combat flight Simulator 2 to mimic those campaign through its Mission Builder.There nothing wrong with that Simulator but I like diversity and I hoped to able to use IL46 to be able to mimic those campaign IL46 style as well!

There is a marked difference between what the modders can do and what I guess DT can do. If they want to cooporate with Oleg and get his approval they'll have to evade issues like "the Grumman thingy" (i.e. flyable Avenger, Helldiver etc) or no-go-areas which Oleg might reserve for Maddox Games and SoW (Channel Map).

According to mythology Daedalus built the Cretan labyrinth where King Minos imprisoned the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster creature. Because he knew the ins and out of the labyrinth he was forbidden to leave Crete and was imprisoned along with his son, Icarus.

Unable to escape by land or sea, he set off fabricating a set of wings for him and his son to escape by flight, these wings were held together by strings and wax. Before the flight, Daedalus warned his son not to fly too low because the sea spray would get the wings wet and heavy and he would have to take a swim as a result. He also told him not to fly too high, or the sun would melt the wax and he would crash.

On their way over the Aegean sea, Icarus was so caught up in the wonders of flying that totally forgot his father's advice, soaring higher and higher until the sun's rays finally melted the wax that held his wings together and he fell to his death.

On one hand you wonder what kind of stuff my ancestors were smoking to come up with that. On the other one, it's a neat allegory that clearly shows how humans are willing to risk life and limb in the pursuit of knowledge and technology, may times using it in wrong ways. Pretty smart for a bed time story that's a few millennia old.

The legend's legacy carries on to this day. There's an island in the Dodecanese called Ikaria, which is supposedly where Icarus crashed. Also, the air force training school is called the school of Icari (plural) and a pilot cadet in training is known as an Icarus, much like a title. A pretty good reminder to listen to your instructor if you want to have a chance graduating from the school and flying an F-16 some day, instead of plummeting wingless towards the earth biggrin


OT - You forgot to mention the story was inspiration for a killer Iron Maiden tune "Flight of the Icarus". Which also write a lot of songs themed about aviation (WWII in particular).


I've got a bad feeling about this.....

Not likely. Looks like about 9 years since it's intro...

I'm actually a bit excited about 4.09. Even though I have the beta installed, the full blown version seems to be a bit more comprehensive.. burnout

For example, I like the new aircraft that are being offered..
