For players of offline dynamic campaigns with DGen.
If you have installed third-party dynamic campaigns DGen add-ons, either freeware (True Pacific, Disaster On the Frontiers, etc) or payware (Battle Over Europe, Ostfront, The Last Days), you certainly faced some minor bugs or compatibility issues. If you want to sort them out and enhance your flying experience with DGen, then this guide may be helpful to you!
This is a guide written based on my own experience; of course now the trouble should be minimized thanks to the publication of EnjoyR's patches.
This guide may also be of interest to players who wish to modify their DGen campaigns. Basically all DGen files can be manually edited, but it is somewhat of a challenge.
Let us share our experience together, to enhance the DGen dynamic campaigns!

a mini campaign of Pearl harbor... with the frst mission as a look at the fleet just before take-off... just to look at... you don't fly in this one
the second is the take-off phase... more scene seting eye-candy
the third attack phase has a choice of four different complexities depending how good your machine is, and how much stutter you are prepared to put up with....
(this is called the small version because it is missing some sound files I included with the full version... just briefing screen music... which bumbed it up to over 6 mb.

22 April 1943, Holy Thursday, just before Easter, was the blackest day of all for the Me 323s and their crews
14 Me 323s of II./KG.z.b.V each carrying about 10 tons of fuel destined for Army Group Tunis was intercepted by the South African Fighters at Cape Bon.
10 Ju 52s of Kampfgruppe z.b.V. 106 took off at 0640 hours bound for Tunis. The Junkers and a group of 14 Me 323s were supposed to fly to Tunis with the maximum available fighter escort.
Each Gigant was carrying 10 tons of fuel destined for Army Group Tunis.
The fighter escort of 39 Bf 109s assembled over Trapani. Another 65 fighters, including Macchi 202s, flew out from Tunis to meet the formation. West of Sicily the Kampfgruppe descended to a height of 20 to 50 meters above the sea. Halfway between Sicily and Tunisia the Me 323s separated from the Ju 52 formation and, contrary to orders, set course for Cape Bon. This splitting of the fighter escort meant that the Giganten had only 36 escorts instead of the planned 104.
At 0925 two large groups of South African fighters began attacking the Me 323s between Cape Bon and the island of Zembra. Conditions were hazy. The first group of enemy fighters engaged the Bf 109s of II./JG 27, which were flying at an altitude of about 2400 meters, and forced them away from the transports. This allowed the second formation, which was larger and made up mainly of P40 Kittyhawks of the South African Air Force, to attack the Giganten.
Once attacked, the Me 323s took evasive action and the wedge-shaped formation disintegrated. The huge, cumbersome transports had little chance of even reaching the African coast. Usually able to sustain a great deal of battle damage, on this day the Giganten were carrying volatile cargoes and most caught fire or exploded after a few hits. Though they put up stiff resistance, shooting down five to seven enemy fighters, the Me 323s were shot down one after another until the last Gigant crashed into the sea in flames.

In early July 1942, Britain's desert forces checked Rommel's advance and held him at El Alamein, just 150 miles from Cairo. Rommel's forces are getting only 6,000 tons a month, one-fifth of what they need. RAF planes and Royal Navy submarines from Malta are sending three-quarters of all convoys to the bottom
Rommel had set 26 August 1942 as the date to begin his final thrust to Cairo, but that day came and went with no German movement: Rommel's mechanized forces were held up for lack of fuel.
Two Tankers were on their way across the Mediterranean, but both were sunk.
Rommel was desperate and in the early morning of August 30 he appealed for fuel and was promised that another tanker, the San Andrea, would set out from Italy at once, under heavy escort. He decided to launce the attack that night knowing that he would need the 5,000 tons of fuel on the San Andreas to maintain his offensive.
Later that same morning, a British reconnaissance aircraft spotted a destroyer-escorted vessel steaming just off-shore along the inside tip of the heel of Italy. Overhead was a heavy Axis air umbrella that included a Ju-88 and seven Macchi fighters.
On battered Malta RAF Squadron Leader R.P.M. "Pat" Gibbs studied the reconnaissance pilot's report. Seeing that the ship's seaward side was protected by the destroyer, he decided that the best angle of attack would be from the Italian mainland itself. At 11:45 a.m. Gibbs led a force of nine Beauforts and nine Beaufighters down the runway and into the air.
Flying some two miles over the mainland, they banked and roared back toward the sea. The Beaufighters led the formation, fending off the Macchis, clearing a path for the torpedo planes. Gibbs, in the lead Beaufort, streaked low toward his target until he could read its name, San Andrea. Finally as the tanker loomed large before him, he dropped his torpedo from 500 yards and lifted over the ship, missing it's mast by inches. The San Andrea lurched in the water and exploded in a thundering ball of smoke and flame.
Deprived of his promised fuel supply, Rommel had to call off his offensive; on September 2 he ordered his mechanized columns to retreat.

Marauders at Midway v1
June 4th, 1942 0710 hrs
Flying from Midway, four B-26s of the 69th Bombardment Squadron are sent to attack the Japanese fleet. Each plane carries one fish, hanging from its belly.
Heading through the tracers, they spy the Akagi.
"The whole world was on fire, the only place that wasn't was across the deck of that carrier". At a height of only 15 feet, Muri flew down the deck of the Akagi. He feels too close to the enemy to be shot at. But Muri goggles at Akagi's battle flag, snapping from her mast. He has seen the blazing Rising Sun flag in newsreels, but never in real life. Now it?s the biggest thing he's ever seen.
Muri pulls out surrounded by Zeros. The Japanese tear up the B-26, Cpl. Mello staggers into the cockpit, and says "The plane's on fire and everybody's hit back there." Co-pilot Moore rushes back with a fire extinguisher to douse the blaze. Then he gives sulfa powder, and mans a gun.

"D-Day Targets of Opportunity"
Three historical missions of D-Day,
1) P-38 CAP of the beaches,
2) P-47's stopping 22nd SS Panzer and Panzer Lehr Divisions trains South of Caen
3) A-20 attacking the Rail marshalling yards at Le Havre
1944 June 6 D-DAY - on a foggy overcast day the Allies land at Normandy. Field Marshal Rommel was of the firm belief that the only way to defeat an invasion was to counterattack the beaches as early as possible with armour.
Two hours before the seaborne landings began, Field Marshal von Rundstedt ordered the two reserve panzer divisions available for counterattack in Normandy, the 12th SS Panzer and Panzer Lehr, to move immediately toward Caen. He did so on the basis of an intuitive judgment that the airborne landings were on such a large scale that they could not be a mere deception maneuver and would have to be reinforced from the sea. The only place such landings could come in lower Normandy were on the Calvados and Cotentin coasts. He wanted armor there to meet the attack.
von Rundstedt's reasoning was sound, his action decisive, his orders clear.
But the panzer divisions were not under his command. They were in OKW reserve. To save precious time, von Rundstedt first ordered them to move out, then requested OKW approval. OKW did not approve. At 0730 Jodi informed von Rundstedt that the two divisions could not be committed until Hitler gave the order, and Hitler was still sleeping. von Rundstedt had to countermand the move-out order. Hitler slept until noon
Hitler's mistrust of his generals and the generals' mistrust of Hitler greatly assisted the Allies. So were Hitler's sleeping habits, as well as his Wolkenkuckucksheim ideas.
The two panzer divisions spent the morning waiting. There was a heavy overcast; they could have moved out free from serious interference from Allied aircraft. It was 1600 when Hitler at last gave his approval. By then the clouds had broken up and Allied fighters and bombers ranged the skies over Normandy, smashing anything that moved.

A Tidal Wave Strikes Ploesti v1
The Ploesti Raid took place on Sunday, August 1, 1943. 7 refineries in and near the city were producing 35% of
Germany's oil and av-gas, its defenses had been bolstered accordingly.
Winston Churchill is credited with observing that "in war, nothing ever goes according to plan except occasionally,
and then by accident."
B-24 Bombers entered into a maelstrom of ground fire, Although damage to the target was heavy, the cost was high. Of
177 planes and 1,726 men who took off on the mission, 54 planes and 532 men failed to return. The operation resulted
in the awarding of 5 Medals of Honor, 3 of them posthumously - the most ever awarded for a single action.

On Palm Sunday, April 18, 1943, Over Cape Bon, Tunisia, an Axis force of *60 Ju-52 transports escorted by 21 Bf-109 Bf-110, & MC-202 fighters were headed for Sicily when they were intercepted by a patrol of 46 P-40Fs, 12 P-47s of the 314FS/324FG and with a high cover of 12 RAAF Spitfire Vs from No. 92nd Sqdn. The intercept was based on messages received from the German enigma codes (Ultra). The slow Junker 52 transports were on their way with supplies to the German Army in North Africa.
The American P-40s dove out of the sun and when the smoke had cleared, 59 Ju 52s and 16 fighters had been shot down for the loss of 6 P-40s and 1 Spitfire - arguably the finest single engagement for the P-40 Warhawks ever, a slaughter that came to be known as the "Palm Sunday Massacre".

The file will contain the following below. Some of it fixes historical inaccuracies and others contain more flexibility (even if not particularly historical, as an example, you may now fly the P-38J in new Guinea, a bit earlier
than history dictated but still with in flexible limits of reality
Added P-38J USAAF land based career to the New Guinea campaign (semi historical, a bit early, not by much)
Added F-4U Corsair Marines land based career to the Guadacanal campaign (a bit ealier but most same planes in the air)
Added Ki-61 Tony Career to the New Guinea campaign (semi historical, a bit early, not by much)
Added F65F Navy Career to the Marianas (historical)
Added ki-61 Tony career to the JAAF in Tarawa (not historical)

Online-COOP for up to 29 players.
Pacific coop mission built around Slimbo99's River A6m2-n base. Stunning visuals to justify a unique scenario as USN hunts for a secret IJN float plane base which has been plaguing shipping and patrols.
Flyable planes include:
(8) A6M2-n, (2) Ki-43-1a, (2) Ki-43-1c, (4) SBD-3 & (4) gunner seats, (9) F4F-3 Wildcats.......IJA/IJN planes will not fly as AI, all USN will.
Scenario:
Secret A6M2-n base has been tearing up shipping and attacking patrols for a month. Efforts to find it so sea forces can pound it into oblivion have been for naught all till this morning.
At the far end of a dawn patrol a PBN escorted by wildcats spots brush burning activities on a small island, unfortunately out of radio range for the fleet. Contacting a parallel group of SBD's and Wildcats to the south, the two groups converge to investigate.
IJN base is alerted by distant spotters of the incoming flights, unfortunately, smudge pot bouy's are lit, and their planes are being prepped for the mornings missions, some fully loaded for long flights, others empty yet scramble to intercept.
On a nearby Island a IJA Ki-43 refit station is alerted to assist, unfortunately it is not an air base. Planes offloaded by ship and refit there yet 4 ready to fly try to scramble to assist using the roads of the fishing village to launch from.
Communication and teamwork a must on both sides as the advantage tilts back and forth between teams. The PBN must reach radio range to repot its findings as the IJN scramble to down it, and simply wound USN planes to keep their tale from returning to the carrier as well.
Version 1.0, in pack 1.1 otw, (3) versions will be included.
1.1a as stands.
1.1b with loadouts set to be flown as only a full coop finalizing the scenario.
1.1c with loadouts set yet IJN/IJA planes out of hangars so they may launch as AI.

From the readme...
This is a totally fictitious campaign involving the Balaton region map and the Player as a German pilot. You'll be flying first the B-239 Buffalo being used as a trainer, then the Bf-109E-4B Jabo fighter bomber. As you will quickly learn, this campaign came solely from my fertile imagination so if you are looking for history, you might try another campaign. Accurate history aside, if you are looking for a 37 mission campaign with varied missions and quick action, you've came to the right place. Ive tried to make each mission different and challenging without making the pilot fly 2 hours to get somewhere, or making the missions so tough you want to quit trying after doing the same mission 12 times.
This is a BETA release of this campaign. I would very much appreciate ANY feedback at all, positive, negative, contructive, destructive, or otherwise. Please let me know what you think. Thanks...

Fox Hunt at Caen
Gerry is throwing everything he's got at our home bases. This includes those nasty little buzz bombs.
We're throwing up a flight of Spitfires in the channel to act as CAP and spoil any Hun surprises.
There is a flight of P-38's on a fox hunt vectored toward Caen looking for those Buzz Bomb supply trains and launch sites.
We also have set up a picket line of rescue ships. if you get into trouble, make for them

Hurri-cats To The Rescue v3
Hurricats, Hurricanes designed for rocket assisted catapulting from the decks of Merchantmen were the British answer to the deadly long range attacks from German Condors.
In 1942 Convoys in mid Atlantic are outside the range of protecting fighters. The are not however, outside the range of the German Condors.
Hurricats, Hurricanes designed for rocket assisted catapulting from the decks of Merchantmen, is the British answer to the deadly long range attacks from German Condors.
This is a one-way trip, You are out at sea and when finished you will have no place to land, to survive, you must ditch near the convoy and hope they are still able to pick you up.

Raising Havoc in the Ardennes
It is January 23rd, 1945, and it's cold. The German advance in the Ardennes is nearly over, but the Panzer Army is desperately throwing more troops into the breach who try to keep their momentum going in The Battle of the Bulge.
Tasked with preventing German reinforcements from reaching the battle front, the Ninth Air Force including A-20 Havocs of the 410th Bomb Group launched a series of low-level attacks on enemy ground forces as they wound their way through the Ardennes. Flying conditions were not easy, cloud bases were low, and snow was in the air.
Locating an enemy convoy in open space, the Havoc pilots make a swift attack diving from 8000 feet (2,400m), catching the German force by surprise: Hurtling down the line of vehicles at 320mph (515kph) they release their parafrag bombs from 300 feet (90m) then, dropping just above the roofs of the army trucks continue down the column blasting everything in sight with their forward-firing .50mm calibre machine guns. In the space of a few minutes the attack is completed and the convoy decimated.
With amuntion expended and fuel running low the A-20 Havocs climb out of the zone and head for base in France. they return through a blizzard, but all aircraft make it safely home - the lead aircraft, on landing, counting over 100 holes of various sizes. For their part in leading the successful attack the Lead Pilot Russell Fellers and Bombardier/Navigator Gordon G. Jones received the Silver Star.

Pacific Fighters Mission - Coop for 4/8 players
On 7 April 1943, Marine Lieutenant James E Swett in an F4F-4 Wildcat called "Melvin Massacre" took off from Henderson field leading an element of VMF-221.
28 ?Wildcats? of VMF-221, 8 F4U-1s of VMF-124 and 6 P-38Fs of the USAAF?s 12th FS mission that day were to protect the fleet from an estimated 195 Japanese "Zekes" and "Vals"
Upon approaching Tulagi Lt. Swett found 67 D3A2 "Vals" and about 110 "Zekes" starting their attack. Accelerating, he quickly outdistanced his wingmen who were then jumped by the "Zekes" so with no one to help him he waded into the fray.
When he came out the other end he was wounded, had no ammunition left, an engine shot up bad enough that it would eventually seize up on him, and 7 confirmed and 1 probable D3A2s downed by his guns
For this Lt James Elms Swett earned a Medal of Honor. Can you do the same? Let me know what you think?

Pacific Fighters Mission - Coop for 4/8 players
On November 11th, the Japanese assembled a large convoy of merchant vessels, loaded with 7,000 men and enough supplies and ammunition for a month's worth of fighting. And in order to assure the delivery of those supplies, they assembled a very powerful force, centered on the battleships Hiei and Kirishima
Rear-Admiral Tanaka Raizo would escort eleven transports carrying some 7,000 men and tons of ammunition and supplies to Guadalcanal. The Imperial Navy decided the battleships Hiei and Kirishima would smash Henderson with concentrated gunfire a day before the arrival of Tanaka's convoy.
In the darkness of Friday the 13th, 13 ships of the American Navy, engaged two battleships Hiei and Kirishima, a cruiser and 13 destroyers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. When it was done the Americans had lost 1 Light Cruiser and 4 Destroyers sunk, and 2 Heavy Cruisers, 2 Light Cruisers, and 1 Destroyer heavily damaged. The Japanese had 1 Battleship (Hiei); and 2 Destroyers, sunk, and 3 Destroyers damaged.
With only two heavy cruisers the Japanese were unable to do enough damage to the airfield. Henderson Field was still operational the next morning. As a result, the Japanese transports, came under heavy attack.
Multiple missions were flown by Marine SBD Dauntlesses, by SBDs and Avengers from carrier Enterprise which staged through Henderson, and by B-17 Flying Fortresses flying up from Espiritu Santo. against the transports throughout the day.
This is where you come in.
Seven of the transports were sunk- Rear Admiral Tanaka, resolved to land the four surviving transports and any surviving troops on Guadalcanal, regardless of any US resistance.
By early the following morning the four surviving Japanese transports had to beach themselves on the shores of Guadalcanal. All four were destroyed by US aircraft and destroyer attack, with horrendous casualties among the troops they were carrying.
For Japan, it was the end of any hope of wresting Guadalcanal from the Americans. In three days of combat in and around the area, they had lost two battleships, one heavy cruiser, three destroyers and eleven combat transports, not to mention 5,000 infantrymen drowned, and several thousand sailors lost. From this point on, the Japanese would never stop retreating in the Pacific.

....On 11 January 1942, CV-2, the USS Lexington sailed from Pearl Harbor as the flagship of TF 11. Task Force 11 consists of the Lexington, two heavy cruisers, and six destroyers The Lexington has been assigned the dangerous task of penetrating enemy-held waters north of New Ireland. From there her planes are to make a strike at Japanese shipping in the harbor at Rabaul.
Unfortunately, while still 400 miles from Rabaul, the Lexington was discovered by a giant four-engine Kawanishi flying boat.
Nine twin-engine enemy bombers have been spotted comming in from the South and Commander Thach has just led six Wildcats into the air to intercept them.
After Commander Thatch led the Wildcats towards the incoming enemy bombers, Lt Butch O'Hare noticed he had fuel problems, and turning 180 degrees he returned to his ship, the Lexington.
Suddenly he noticed nine more enemy bombers attacking from the opposite direction and alone and desperate, he attacked and took on all nine. single handedly destroyed five of them, and forced the rest to turn away.
