EAW140 All-in-one installation 2016

[Jel 37]

Since I last posted there have all sorts of updates. There are now two single installations, and no previous folders or files are needed, except for your "eaw.ini" file if you have one.

 

1. If you want to see if your system can handle EAW140 here is a link to a simple 140 test version:

Run the 7-zip to install and then use the DSP to pick an exe, the DefaultEAW theatre and planeset1

 
 
2. A full installation with several theatres included:

 

The link is http://1drv.ms/1Ry1Kvk

Download and run "140Multiplayer2016"

It will create its own stand-alone "140Multiplayer2016" folder with everything in it.
Just add your "eaw.ini", and get the d3d windower to access the "eaw.exe".
The only other thing which you will need to do if you want to fly EAW online is to download the "MPNettext.str" file and put it in the "140Multiplayer2016\savedata" folder. For some reason it went AWOL when the installation file was made.


When you run the picker you need to select an exe, a "Dir.set" and a planeset:
 
As you can see I have chosen the "NewMapV80C" exe, "ETO with river barges...." as the Dir.set and planeset3.

The list of aircraft is just for the player's information, and the other stuff at the right hand side is only needed when the user is hosting an online game.

Once you have made your selections you can launch the game by clicking "Fly!"
If you are using windows 10 that may cause an error, but setting the "DSP2016Flex.exe" to Win 7 or earlier in compatibility mode fixes it.
Depending on your video card you may get garbled screen graphics, which can be fixed by running the game in a windower program

I'm adding EAW to my TDY laptop and wanted to add Desert Air War mod, so I looked to this. But all links are broken.

 

Anything still active?
