New version available, just some minor fixes.

- Me 262 A-2a fighter/bomber now has jet sound (DOS)
thanks to Pepa Drobny for providing the custom A_049_9.SHP
- German-made planes names changed from (example) Ju 87 D-1 to correct Ju 87D-1
- updated unit_list.txt and credits.txt

Just wondering - have you considered to include Luftwaffe ground units as well? I mean non-paratroop infantry and armored units? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftwaffe_Field_Divisions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Fallschirm-Panzer_Division_Hermann_G%C3%B6ring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fal...

New version out, only a very small improvement...

- added CASUALTY, NEWSTUFF, TACMAP, and STRATMAP from Pepa Drobny's CORRECT archive (only TACMAP is for PGF, the rest are DOS-only)

Please, somebody test the new plane sounds in PGF for me, I hex-edited the e-file , so it should work, but who knows? What??? Why??? :huh Because when you only have DOSBox as a "computer" your options are limited. I can't always get the tablet at work to do non-work stuff. EDIT - sorry, I...

New version out, minor bug fixes. Please, somebody test the new plane sounds in PGF for me, I hex-edited the e-file, so it should work, but who knows? (Use Washington scene to find all of the jets) - Tunisia: French cities now correctly have Vichy flag, not Free French flag - Italian and Hungarian f...

Your long-awaited contribution to the "Hobby at Large" is most welcome. :clap As you're probably aware, I don't usually wargame SSI-style. However, given your manifested seriousness and, most importantly, perseverance, I will give both versions a spin. One question: As you know, SSI's AI ...

Done!!

First post updated.

fpge -E ALL (E and ALL need to be uppercase) converts all scenes, provided PANZEQUP.EQP has already been converted to equipment.pgeqp. The initial conversion process pointed out some errors I missed (mismatched flags, wrong terrain, units with non-transport transports), so it's going to be a little...

Finally, this mod is done! Now I need to convert it to PGF. It's been so long since I've messed with FPGE, I hope I can remember how to convert...

Getting close to a final release. Originally I planned to do a single run-through check of each scene before releasing...I am now in my 3rd (and final?) run-through. I also found the bug that prevented Balkans from converting. A German unit somehow had invalid out-of-range map coordinates; this didn...

The PG Torch scenario is basically Run for Tunis . Basically, with the Vichy collapse in North Africa both Allies and Axis ran unopposed to capture as much territory as possible before the other. The remaining Vichy troops didn't offer much resistance to either at first, but later joined the Allies...

Budapest scenario has both sides set to offensive. Historically the Soviet plan was to dig in and stall the Germans long enough to mount a counterattack and push them back, which is what actually happened. That's different than having both sides charge in at each other like PG has them doing.

I accidently discovered several map bugs while sprucing up Luftwaffe General. In Anzio, you can embark on sea transports from the land-locked cities of Sezze and Frosinone.

Is anyone still working on sprucing up / finalizing Luftwaffe General for PGF ? This has motivated me to get this mod done, one way or another. So I managed to get the DOS SHP editor working in DOS, via adding it to a Win95 image and booting it. All icons now display correctly. Now I am going throu...

Is anyone still working on sprucing up / finalizing Luftwaffe General for PGF ? Anybody here is allowed to convert the almost-complete version of LuftGen to PGF, as I said here... Luftwaffe General is complete...sort of. The DOS version is done, save for 6 icons that I need to change. But as I said...

All of these vehicles had secondary roles as assault guns (bunker busting and infantry support), which explains the duplicate units. Actually, the ISU-152 and maybe the SU-152 were designed specifically as assault guns, but they also excelled at ATG duties. These were direct fire weapons, so having...

For Norway, Fokker D.XXIII should be a Gloster Gladiator (there is an unused icon just for that). I actually renamed the Norwegian fighter to the Fokker CVD based on this source: http://www.nuav.net/norwair1940.html Would be interested in using the unique icon for the Gladiator. Is it specificly ma...

Once again, the only way to do such things is to extensively hex-edit PANZER.EXE. To do so, one has to be very familiar with some of its hexadecimal contents. Thanks. Also I wanted to ask how to change hardcoded unit features or class features but I can see the answer now. Is there some info somewh...

... I added the luftwaffe general and waffen SS campaign and removed the KuK and Kaiser general ones. I think these campaigns show of the technical capabilities of the PGF engine really well. ... Interesting...what exactly about LuftGen shows off the capabilities of PGF? Because I developed the mod...

Hi from a PGF ans aviation fan, I made an account just to thank you for this LW campaign. I hope you'll continue your project , it's a very different approach of original campaign tree. Just a little nuisance, I hope it can be fixed in a future version : - there's an imbalance between the fighters'...

The DOS version is done . . . without access to a PC I'm afraid I don't understand. :huh How ? Luftwaffe General was made almost entirely with the PS3 port of DOSBox, the only exceptions being the SHP editor (for icons), and PGF (for converting). As for the uploading...well, let's just say that I m...

Luftwaffe General is complete...sort of.  The DOS version is done, save for 6 icons that I need to change.  But as I said before, without access to a PC, I can not make these changes, nor convert to PGF or test the converted content. However, I have managed to upload the DOS version (don't ask how :...

- why does Torch have both sides on offense? Take one look at the battlefield, and it's clear the Axis should be digging in. Even the briefing suggests a defensive posture. The PG Torch scenario is basically Run for Tunis . Yeah, I learned that during my research. AG Torch is more historically accu...

For the past year, I have been working on my mod, so I have not been actually playing PG-DOS. However, I do have a few random observations from my modding adventures... - the RESERVED unit is weird. I tried to use it as a normal unit (US Jeep), and it would not show up in the Purchase screen. Even s...

Thanks for the kind words, you guys, it's nice to know that someone other than Pepa Drobny is playing my mod.  (One of these years we are going to finish PacPG.)  If anybody has any comments about Luftwaffe General, let me know, I've gotten no feedback yet.  Obviously, that means that it's perfect  ...

Demo 2 is now available.  41 West campaign (North Africa through Sealion 43, plus Caucasus, Balkans, and Crete) playable in campaign and standalone modes.  El Alamein renamed to Gazala Line, Torch renamed to Tunisia.  Some minor changes to previous scenes, full list in Docs/changelog.txt.  FPGE did ...

Originally an attempt to back-port Radoye's Waffen-SS mod to DOS, I ended up doing this. Basically a remix of the standard PG campaign, but your smaller core is comprised of aircraft, AA, flak, and paratrooper (Fallschrimjager) units (Luftwaffe had their own versions of the latter 3, separate from t...
