Using the Dynamic Campaign Generator and third party planes, fly for the Soviet Red Army in a desperate campaign to save Stalingrad.  Alternatively, fly for the Luftwaffe and help force the Communist back from the city.  Download the campaign and scenery files here.

Installation
If you already have DCG version 5.2 or larger, no update is necessary; if you do not, then download the main DCG files.   Unzip the contents of the downloaded zip file directly into your main CFS2 folder and all files will be installed where they should.  Alternatively, unzip to a temporary folder and manually move them into the CFS2 folders. 

In addition, you must manually move the "cfs-2inf.cat" file to your hard-drive's root folder which contains CFS2 (usually "C:").  Either swap the country.cfg file with your current one, or cut and pasted the Russian information out of it into you current file.  Also, you will follow the instructions in the Stalingrad Airbases.txt.  Finally, when you run CFS2, you must add the SCENEDB\DCG_Stalingrad scenery to your scenery library.

Please read the Known Problems text (in the DCG_CAMPAIGNS subfolder) for further information.

Required 3rd Party Planes/Objects
A complete list of planes and objects required are found in the download. 

Configuring 3rd Party Planes/Ships
Install any third party planes you wish to add according to the specific install instructions for each.  Open (in NotePad) the campaign.dcg file found in the "dcg_campaign/Germany43" which should be in your main CFS2 folder.  Replace the "type_id" of the plane or planes you wish to switch with the folder name of the plane you wish to substitute it with.  For example, replace the type id for the player squadron from "f4f4_wildcat" to "sea_hurricane_ib".  Alternatively, run DCG and generate a mission.  DCG will prompt  you to select an equivelant plane for any plane not found in your aircraft folder.  Add ships to the ship file in the same manner.

Known Issues
The Stalingrad campaign uses a number of 3rd party objects (planes/buildings/vehicles) in it's "infrastructures.dcg" file.  While the DCG program will open a dialogue box and ask you to replace any missing planes from the squadrons file, it will not do that with missing (or renamed) objects from the infrastructures file.  If CFS2 rejects a mission because of a missing object, either add the missing object (see Internet html links for DCG Russian Campaign.doc) or open the infrastructures file and rename the missing object (dp's name) with an alternative that you do have.  DCG is very particular about the naming of objects so take care to spell it right (underscores and dashes included).
