You have to have your Joystick as ID1 / Preferred Device in the Joystick Control Panel. See my Site for the Joystick Help Document, also the Troubleshoot Help Doc too, it has issue resolutions in it for controllers. Not sure you will be able to get the Thrustmaster to work. EAW likes all in one Joysticks. However some devices linked together will work too. Overall it sounds like you need to read my site from the first help document on. Or skim it if you know enough of the subjects I present.

You have an unusual computer. You should not be getting the 7217 error at all on Win7. Download a wrapper program and wrap your game in it. Use DxWND, its what I use and works very well.

Still, the files for the EAWv1.28 un-official versions are stuck at CombatACE's processing. I was impatient and I sent a support ticket. Apparently I should have waited a few more days because of the holiday. Anyhow you can DL those files now from CombatACE's EAW file section.

Never heard of this issue. 64 bit will run 32bit. Read my install document and manually copy and paste the files to your computer.

This is an early set of the un-official v1.28 and the two upgrades. *Important Information: If you have the GOG versions, 1.2 or 1.28, then these upgrades would over write the GOG made eaw.exe revisions. It effectively takes away the GOG patch. It 's your choice if you wish to do this. 1.2 to 1.28 to 1.28a to 1.28b Install Instructions by: MarkEAW Download These Files: EAW1.28patch.exe 48.4MB This is a 1.2 to 1.28 Installer (Jun222008) 1.28to1.28a.exe 11.2MB 1.28 to a (Jun182009) 1.28ato1.28b.exe 969KB 1.28a to b (Jul042009) eaw.ini file; Before installing, remove/delete your v1.2 eaw.ini file from the game folder to allow the new un-official version to make its own ini file with extend functions. From a fresh install; Have a clean "install" of the official MicroProse v1.20 game. Install the first patch into that folder, the 'EAW12' game folder, allowing some existing files to be overwritten. Then extract each patch there after into the same folder, overwriting some of the files each time. -
Is anyone interested in a 1.2 to 1.28 patch with installer? and perhaps a 1.28 to 1.28a to 1.28b patches? I just recently found them in my file pile, and they are the eaw code development / codegroup downloads..... Maybe I can upload those files. But If you want, I can upload those files to CombatACE? I don't recommend you 1.28 GOG players to patch it up, as the eaw.exe would be over written and loose all GOGs revisions to the exe...... Let me know, I may do it anyhow as others have requested a and b separately in the past. EDIT: Well I uploaded them and been waiting for them to be processed.

Geez Stratos, nice that you edited my posts and interrupted a calm discussion. I didn't make any personnel attacks, its only in your head that I did. Everything was spot on and not a personnel attack. Wow. VBH, the download count is for all files in that archive, not just the one imposter file thats was removed. So the true count seems to be unknown.
-
Aw, you where referring to another thread. I only double checked this thread for that reference, before i proceeded. Yeah SimHQ currently doesn't host EAW files other than links pointing to external files from the EAW Forum by Jel's posts. I would just ask VBH to clarify the post , if he can still edit it. He clearly indented to reference Jels previous posts from the past at SimHQ. VBH, isn't out to get or screw anyone over. He's just working on his hobby and time killers. Much like what I do with the EAWHS, kills time, sometimes too much. :) Alright well hopefully this thread is over, given that VBH has a chance to respond.
-
Naw, you haven't been following. Just read the comment section of the the files Jel posted here at CombatACE, and some place else in the forum that at the moment I can't find. EDIT: I looks like part of the discussions in my thread about what I should post. There's a brief mention of finding out what that file is. I didn't know what it was and its been sitting there since 2019. and then the comment section of the files Jel posted.
-
Regarding files from EAWHS: I have been adding a lot of file descriptions to my site and some files have been repacked and renamed. I did all this locally and find it much faster if I don't have to keep track of the downloads and changes I make. I'll try to upload some of them to mediafire but I can't be bothered with uploading all the skins ive added as the folder structure is slow to browse. I still not sure If I'll be able to find FTP space or what where it would make more sense to handle the files. Anyhow moving on.
-
Who are you, and why are you hiding your true screen name from the EAW community here, when you go and make statements like you have. The EAWPRO version file Jel rebranded is faulty, its not a virus or malware in that sense, its can crash the computer. VBH released a patch soon after that fixed the issue, which Jel file does not contain. VBH, just wants his stuff left alone and doesn't want more than one location for the download currently. I see no problem with that.
-
I tired again, and nothing, it was present on the screen, but the screenshot shows no sight. Maybe its a debug thing you stumbled upon.?? When i use the keyboard arrow keys, the sight jumps in the direction i push the arrow key. Its defiantly tied to the camera mouse view, and the input gets a visual representation of what's being used. EDIT: I'm dumb. I think it might be part of the wrapper, hooking the dinput and using a virtual joystick. So I'll have to recheck that stuff, and see whats going on there. EDIT 2: Yup, it was the virtual joystick setting from the wrapper. For some reason I needed the vstick to load the game, but its running fine without it now and that mysterious crosshair is gone too. ;) lol
-
Hmmm. I could not get a capture of it. It flashes fast when its displayed. Disappears just before i take a screenshot. Anyhow. Its a crosshair sight looking thing and it lights up a square on the left side and right side when i push the mouse buttons. The center sight part animates when I press the middle mouse button.
-
Do you need a screen shot or two to see the indicator light up?
-
In win10 I have left mouse, middle and right indicators light up within the front_director "sight" thing. I believe it also lit up when i used the arrow keys to fly the plane. The mouse moves it around. I know you can't do this, but a sight/cursor like that is used in other games to click on targets and objects out the flight windows to lock on. Some sims use it to click cockpit buttons and levers and switches. Not really needed in EAW though. Just mentioning it. :) Alright thanks for filling me in.

Regarding the notorious JelFixV2 file Wow, it is unfortunate that he released your stuff yet again. Sad sorta :\ Over the years I was around, he released several FXEXE inclusions and what not. He even sent me two large files of your work along time ago before I knew you or the situation regarding the split in efforts. I still have them, but I have not use them in a very long time. Regarding files I post. I've been updating files and organizing, locally, but mediafire interface slows me down. It seems like more work than using a FTP program. So I haven't updated the EAWHS Mediafire File Account completely. I make too many changes to the files locally too fast, that its hard to keep track of them all, so I doubt I ever will finish mediafire. There are a few updates I have time to do though.
-
What is the purpose of the control indicator thats on the screen when moving things around? I know it knows which mouse button im pushing as it lights up a indicator. I was wondering if you had anymore plans for it, or if its completed? What do you call it?
-
What the? nothing to see but cockpit dials. lol
-
Maybe just report this file, with a description why..... Theres a link at the bottom of the file descriptions you can use. -
Well I got it to run. It uses your Mainscreen that I posted for you before here on CombatACE and the version number in the lower left is "JelFixv2". This is actually an old version of EAWPRO with perhaps some modifications done by Jel. What they are beyound the mainscreen, I don't know. If I where you VBH, I would ask CombatACE to pull that so called "JelFixV2" from the 4 gig download....its clearly EAWPRO without the name. :(
-
I have not tried to run the included eaw.exe in the fix archive. I can try once I put the archive back on my computer ;) But it didn't seem like it was all there...a whole game. I think it was just files to add or replace to another Jel download, to fix it...... *shrugs*
-
That's too bad, why did he post that. Unless its too "update" an existing EAWPRO archive. Its not making much sense why he posted the "fix". He must have EAWPRO in one of the above files? (or perhaps someplace else).
-
That's what I thought, but just looking at the files, I can't determine where that fix goes. if there was a readme and install instructions with these files I wouldn't have any issues figuring that out.
-
What is this file for? (JelFixV2.exe) What's the AcesOverEurope129 file? Is that the one made by Modred? or one put together by Jel? Is it really practical to combine all these un-official installs into one download? thats 4.29Gigs in size? (Shouldn't they be split up to better update them each?
-
Alright, Thanks. I'm just handling all the files I been taking in and I'm still unclear what too post in the CombatACE DL section. If any body has a clue, clue me in , thanks.......
