Coming back to EAW after about 5 years

[Snow46]

After playing a number of mideval or fantasy RPGs I have decided to come back to air combat sims.  I remember EAW to be a relatively easy one to play (for me).  I did buy a copy from GOG, but there seems to be some very interesting traffic on line about the PRO version.  I am wondering if I should go back to the 1.2 version of the game or just download and install the PRO version?

You can always make a copy of your GOG EAWv1.2 in a second folder and then put EAWPRO over it. Thus having two versions or types of the game to play.

Not quite sure how to do that.  I will (when I finally get home) download and install 1.2.  I will have to learn how to download PRO.  Are there a lot of differences?

Yes a lot of differences.

I figured you must have read the FXEXE (EAWPRO) Patch Guide on my site already to see all the differences?? But you may not have understood them all.

It can become complicated for the novice...you may never fully comprehend the changes. You may want to refer to the guide on and off while using EAWPRO.
