- Nieuport 17
- Nieuport 17 GBR
- Hanriot HD 1
- FE2B
- Halberstadt D2
- Albatros D2
- Siemens Schuckert D.IV
- Sopwith Snipe
Stand ins
- DH2 = Nieuport 11

Rework all FC medals
- New images
- Corrections to medal manager
Fixed issue with map identification
Fixed broken squadron logs
15.1.1
Squadron skin sixes (thanks Stonehouse)
Fixed incorrect speed on climb waypoints
15.1.1
Added Ultra Low ground to eliminate trains and trucks.
- Good for WWI where you are not really roaming the countrside
- reduced infantry
Added Ultra AAA to reduce the gobs of AAA in PWCG missions.
- PWCG puts over 400 AAA units on the map at medium AA levels,so ultra low isn't really a tiny number
- No AAA around bridges
- No AAA around railroad stations
- No AAA on airfield approaches
- reduced AAA on airfields
- slightly reduced AAA on front lines
Added rare plane flight odds config
- Gotha, HP, Arado
- Limits frequency of mission generation for certain rare planes
- Controllable through advanced config: Mission Limits section
Added Adjustment To Pilot Injury config
- Allows incremental downgrade of injuries suffered by player
- Number 0-4. Every number causes injury downgrade from dead-> seriously wounded -> wounded - just ducky
- Controllable through advanced config: Campaign Preferences section
Fixed FC airfield Beugnatre
Fixed escorts for players using check zones
Fixed cold start disabled for coops.
Fixed inability to work with coop pilots (transfer, activate, etc.)

Fixed issues around adding a coop user
Fixed briefing issues for coop missions
Fixed zero altitude scramble anad strategic intercept missions
Fixed issue that could have neutral targets chosen
14.1.4
Another attempt at sweeping the runway clean.
Improvements to campaign generation
- Validate name to prevent downstream errors
- Must now select a map. Ensures data integrity later in the process
If parked is selected and the map ios Normandy and the campaign is not coop, no runway starts
- Parked starts will not work in Normandy
- I left the option available to coop as they might be able to pull it off with no AI in the flight.
Cleaned up transfer screen. Transfers to transport now work.
Fixed transport missions
- They are now one way.
- Intermediate waypoints are editable
- No parachute drops in England
14.1.3
Fixed error in tactical code config that could cause mission generation to fail.
14.1.2
C47 is flyable in a campaign
Fix something that I fixed in 14.1.1 (fixes failure to generate mission)
14.1.1
Fixed two issues that could cause AARs to fail
Made an attempt at fixing AI flies to enemy base
14.1.0
Completion of blank Squadron skins.
Over 600 skins added
What is a "squadron skin?". it is a skin configured in PWCG to be used as the generic squadron skin. So it is a blank with a unit marking on it.
- All variations of an aircraft were done, so a P47D22 for a squadron will take up to 8 skins with green, silver, plain, and 3 variations of Normandy markings.
- Russian aircraft might have multiple camo schemes over time and concurrently. German planes often had multiple concurrent camo schemes.
- No British squadron skins as they did not have squadron markings other than the code. The existing blank skins are adequate.
- The different paint schemes and markings will add some life and the use of codes will make every aircraft in the mission unique.
Changed takeoff WP priority to low to prevent unaggressive AI if takeoff WP is missed
Many tweaks to iconic events to ensure intended actions are included in the mission
Fixed Mosquito payloads not available in briefing
Fixed Mosquito payload in Lb not Kg.
Fixed wrong image context sometimes used (RAF logbook for German pilot, etc.)
Fixed introduction date of Tempests to 56th squadron
Moved introduction of Free French (326th Squadron) to March 1943
Fixed "Dover Castle" typo
Fixed Kingsnorth typo
Significant internal changes, mostly for testability.

- Battle of Britain 1941
- Channel Front
- Dieppe
- Normandy
- Newspapers
- Normandy iconic missions
Improve strategic intercept and scramble mission waypoints

Blank skins and tactical codes
Two new skin sets
- Blank skins for US fighter squadrons
- P-27 D22, P-47 D28, P-51 B5, P-51 D-15
- About 100 new squadron skins based on the new blank skins
Added code to not kill pilots who bail out
- Used to avoid killing everybody that bails out over water
- If you are going down over water, don't ditch. PWCG can't pick that up. Bail out.
Fixed keep airfield objects away from any area usable by real planes.
Fixed issue that could prevent AAR from completing.
13.11.1
Bring down bombing altitude a bit
- 3K meters at the lowest, 7K at the highest
13.11.0
Add Me410
- III ZG 26 starting in June 1943
Changed victory assignment logic in AAR
- Better damage records allows me to determine who did the most damage
- Victory goes by log assignment or by who did the most damage.
- Unclaimed player victories are still assigned to flight mates.
Output AAR results to the error log. Allows players to see what the log files are saying.
- If you are wondering why you did or did not get credit, look at the PWCGErrorLog.txt file
Another attempt at triggering an ATtackj MCU to attack all enemy planes
- This time I wait until the first WP is reached on take off.
- Worked in a couple of tests
Move Fokker D8 introduction to August 1918. Allows player to select as a private plane.

Weather modifications
The mission will conform to the weather. You will get much more variety, in particular. lots more rain and snow. Most battle areas have upwards of 25% rainy days.
Any given weather pattern may or may not impact a given mission type. If it is overcast and rainy most of the missions are going to be pushed to low altitude.
Dive bombing missions are particularly affected. Dive bombing will be swapped for an attack mission where the Stuka will drop bombs much like a fighter or IL2.
Tactical bombing will be pushed lower.
Patrols will be pushed lower.
Deeper penetration missions will be scrapped in favor of lower altitude missions near the front.
If cloud cover is not overcast or heavy then you will fly the missions as usual with whatever cloud cover there may be.
Weather related advanced configuration:
Campaign ->Configuration -> Advanced Config -> Weather
Use realistic weather: set to 1 to use weather than includes heavier weather. Set to 0 to fly in relatively clear skies (Still has clouds but no rain)
Min Haze/Max Haze: Minimum and maximum values for haze. Proper values are 1-10. This makes use of the new haze feature
Max Wind: Not a new config. Maximum wind speed in meters per second
Max turbulence: Not a new config. Proper values are 1-10. Maximum turbulence value in the mission.
