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

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.......

Bazillius, Do you know what the JelFixV2.exe is for? There was no description for it in the downloads.

I searched, all I see is the orginal OAW installer (or extracted) files. I might have over looked the newer OAW, but Jel did update the OAW files more recently than I'm finding on my backups.

I think some of those exe 7z installers for the standalone games are already in a large download put together , here on CombatACE, I think Jel uploaded them, or Erik did. eh, I see no EAWPRO in your list,....that blows :) You need to read and see about all the changes in it. Its fun to compare from 1.2 to the FXEXE when playing. I jump sometimes from game to game just to see the comparison. Its worth adding to your collection. Well about the OAW package, I think FsFOOT had posted a revised package perhaps?? not too sure. I'll have to check my backups, still :)..............

So you want a modder to have packaged the right files together for you already...... Hmmm, that could be OAW, I "Think" Jel may have released a new OAW package for stock EAWv1.2 in the past 2 years. (In comparison to the old OAW from 2005) But I don't know if I have it, or where to get it. Then there's little packages like flight model modifications in a single pack. Skys clouds terrain, etc.

I was wondering which files would be of importance to be on CombatACE EAW download section? Or if you don't know specifically a file, how about a type or description of some file you want/need? On a related note over at EAWHS: I have been putting off updating my mediafire account. I'm finding it too difficult to manage quickly. Its a neat setup but I really need 15gigs of FTP space to update the files section on EAWHS properly. :| I doubt any free service would be available. (I'm not paying for this hobby, more than I have too, its too much work). I've bought backup storage for EAW stuff that I'm working on, and maintain my computer, life and what not. If you know of a free FTP storage solution, let me know, please.
