IL-2 Group Generator — 0.5 Alpha

Fighter Pack generation now follows Template Builder format: the same pair logic, finger-four layout, and order/event chain, plus pack randomizer, NodeGates, and the original patrol zones.

Fighter Pack

  • Group 1 is rebuilt from Template Builder pair logic (Independent + Cover, OnSpawned → AttackArea lead / Cover wing, leftover and extra pair leads get their own AttackArea)
  • Events (bingo ammo, bingo fuel, damage, wounded) send only that aircraft home — Force Complete, RTB, then deactivate. The rest of the flight stays on station
  • Flights are placed as finger-four (Inverted Vee), matching Template Builder
  • Altitude split stays 2 down / 2 up per complete 4-ship, 4 down 4 up on 8-ships, 4 down 2 up on 6-ships, leftovers low
  • Export filename and group title follow country code: USSR, DPRK, PRC, or USA (for example USA_Fighters_Random_3pack.Group)
  • Original pack sizes kept: Zone IN 16 km, Zone OUT 35 km, AttackArea 30 km air / 600 s, equal-odds randomizer at 0.5 s

Also in this build

  • Load Base Map restores AO, front, attack arrows, fighter packs, and army groups from a generated Korea map
  • Map reimport keeps parked road/rail columns and headings
