In the read me it refers to 'Environments'.It says YAP 2 installs the medium as default but I would like to try the 'real' option.It says they are included as installers but I don't see an installer,just config files in a folder.
I suppose I am being real dumb but what to do next?

Also,the Photo Recce Mod.It says 'do it' but do what exactly?

Regards,Chucky.

Chucky,

In the flight folder you should see 3 environmentsystem inis. Hi,Lo, and the one your using is Mid.
Rename it to Mid, then rename the Hi and give it a try. You also may have to adjust your ingame graphics settings. We kept them all in the folder so one would not lose track of them.

The photo mod: Check your controls folder and at the end of [ControlSet001] in your default controlsini, you should see this:

GOTO_CAMERA_LEFT_VIEW=NUMPAD1
GOTO_CAMERA_RIGHT_VIEW=NUMPAD3
GOTO_CAMERA_DOWN_VIEW=NUMPAD2
GOTO_CAMERA_FRONT_VIEW=NUMPAD5

If not, add it in. A quirk is that every time you change the ingame controls settings it erases the photomod in the controlsini and you have to restore those entries again. I suugest you make a copy of your default controlsini, name it something else and keep it handy.

Once you get settled in your happy place with the ingame controls settings you should not have to do it repeatedly.

Not to be a jerk, but this makes no sense at all. Rename Mid to Mid? Then rename the High to...what? Makes no sense.

Should it read rename Mid to *whatever* and rename High to Mid? -Havent had a chance to try; just guessing..

confused

Hey. It doesn't make any sense, does it.

REAL is the name of the folder containing the full-on environment. Just DRAG-COPY the files into the appropriate folders and you are REAL.

REAL is the default version (isn't it 8? I think it is.)

So, just by changing the graphics mode to "High" in the game options setting doesn't do anything?

Well, it's not HIGH, it's REAL. I think the add on comes with that as Default. All you would do is drag/copy the files into the appropriate folders and you are REAL or LOW END or MEDIUM.

"drag/copy the files into the appropriate folders?" And what might they be?

CLOUDinc.tga, ENVIRONMENTALSYSTEM.INI and FLIGHTENGINE.INI go into the Flight folder.
Options.INI and Startup.INI go into the Wings Over Vietnam folder.
