First start and basic settings

Configure BoX: For PWCG Make sure mission logs are enabled via the following setting in your startup .cfg file located in - BoX / Data / setup.cfg

mission_text_log = 1

You can then launch PWXCG: enter the PWCGCampaign folder and run PWCG.exe

Planes Owned

Once the program starts for the first time, everything is disabled except owned airplanes.

Click on Planes Owned and tell PWCG which planes you own. After performing this operation, the other buttons are activated.

Configuration

Allows the setting of user preferences (User Preferences) and graphical interface (GUI) "User Preference" is used to determine in particular whether a binary file (*, msbin) will be created by the application when creating each mission.

PWCG allows the creation of mission files without going through the mission editor provided by Il2 Great Battle. The mission can then be launched either directly by the Il2 client or by a dedicated server (Dserver)

After the mission has been played, PWCG allows you to retrieve the mission logs in order to value the events (object destruction, player states …)

The binary file is a component of the missions files which allows a much faster loading by the players for cooperative missions therefore network. Deleting the mission definition text file (*, Mission) located in the same directory also speeds up this download. The mission files created can indeed contain a large volume of data.

Situation for a classic installation and a cooperative mission: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ 1C Game Studios \ IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles \ data \ Multiplayer \ Cooperative)

For more information, please review the available documentation relating to the Il2 Great Battle mission editor and dedicated server usage.

Examples of files defining a cooperative mission created by the PWCG application:

The JV44_02_1945 1945-02-01.mission file should be deleted to allow faster transmission of mission definition files to cooperative mission players.The other parameters do not require special assistance.
