Procedure is 1>0Copy the files off the cd to a folder,,I named mine EAW 2..Don't run it 3..Apply your preferred patch 1.2 is fine.. 4.. Apply the PRO patch REBOOT Then try it

Hey VB Now that's a proper formation..Good Show!!!!

Thank you for the advice M8..It's something I've never explored before but will attempt to get up to speed on it,,Really looking forward to flying a Stuka !!!

Looks pretty good VB...Rock on!!

I've found frame rate counters are good only to establish a base FPS value and then when making changes see how much the value changes..And then decide if the change is worth it..The best frame rate counter is take a fly and determine if it's fluid enough without hiccups and lag to be a good flight..I have fraps and for me it's just a tool for when I make changes in my video settings to see if it drops a lot of FPS,,In IL-2 they have tracks i use "The Black Death"Track and an in game counter,,It gives min,,max and average FPS..So if I go in and adjust AA or graphic detail levels I see the impact..Any thing over 30 fps or so is smooth maybe an occasional jitter,,But at least I'm getting 55-60 FPS in perfect mode and in EAW about the samre mid 50'--60 using glide ,,D#D is all over the place

VB works great here on Win 7 Pro 64 I can easily make mission selections big difference in setting up missions now

Everything makes sense to me VB...One question about your post " Now you can fly missions in which you must try and remain with your escort " I always thought it was the escorts to remain with the bombers ,,Don't think a B-17 can keep up with a P-51,,didn't the Germans have problems with pilots who preferred to free hunt to clear a path and those who wanted them to stay tight with the bomber formations

Can't grasp it all VB But it seems to make a more challenging bomber intercept..

Looks like an improvement in the realism factor Good Show VB

Thanks Vb just what I wanted to accomplish watch the battle and see how it all unfolds naturally from a safe distance and when you release your work I can see the changes

VB Seems you could set your AI wing men to attack bombers and then the bombers will be fighting back after their bomb runs and you could sit back and watch the show ???

Sounds like something good VB..Sounds like a good change to the game

Makes plenty of sense to me Mark after all It's just a game and it a nice touch to the old Girl

Mark i read your whole site frequently and always seem to find a little something I didn't know

OH SH and Bob but the ghosts of the past remain and can't be forgotten gun advocates don't carry this burden and hopefully never will,,Have you ever taken a mans life or one pass or to understand that a man has passed take your your hobby and weekend warriors and and shove it I know the results from the real world

Sorry SH hung up the guns in 1968 I have seen the damage done

And his prediction "' I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve " and our Marines and sailors prove him right and all our Allies stood tall

Points well made Sky High,,i stay with EAW because it has what the newer sims don't have and it has a feeling of soul..i fly IL-2 and the newer great battles series but I'm always drawn back to my girl for a good fly..As you say patriotism is a lost ideal today,,we are more concerned with political correctness,I'm an old marine who served two tours in Vietnam and still snap a salute when putting up our flag each morning and get tears when our anthem is played ,,in EAW I fly planes from all sides and give respects to warriors from both sides who fought for what they believed in..I guess the attraction is being able to relive a part of our distant past and to feel the magic of EAW and the gifts the modders have brought to it..To all them i offer thanks for keeping the magic alive

Skyhigh Looking in the forums I see a lot of old friends and that's pretty much the state of EAW today older pilots who flew EAW in the early days and have stayed the course with our old girl..some have made great strides with her and brought us where we are today ,,But it seems we aren't attracting younger players who have their consoles and the graphically newer sims ..what we have is a crew who are around 70 years old and I fear once we pass EAW will be a footnote in gaming history like the old Mario Brothers something that belongs in the computer museum..Now we might have some differences but we all have respect for EAW and enjoy it in our own ways

seany95 It would help if you listed what sims you are interested in modding,,It would help to know that and you can get sim specific advice

Happy New Year Roel and all the best in the coming year
