btw, for now VonBeerhoven always claimned he cant install EAW1.28 version on his PC, does this changed now or did he test SPAW, which is ONLY made for EAW1.28c, with his EAWFX.exe??
That would explain some of his problems. lol

Congratulations, guys, to this awesome effort - Iīll try this asap on my new PC.
Does this mean for me I can play EAW again - not only on my old Win98 rig? This would be wonderful



Which files is this and where can i find it? Maybe Sandbagger can include it on Captain Kurtīs and Flying Tigerīs pages where one can find the HiRes P-40s

The Hi Res P-40 will not benefit from any older fixes that exist for the P-40. It was developed from an older model as were all when he did it, but this one has made EXTENSIVE use of piggybacks and action codes for moving features, in and out of the cockpit. Some elements have nearly a dozen piggybacks on them, and they are spread all over the model. Col. Gibbon is in the process of rebuilding the model to eliminate all of these pigybacks, and I am building an "interchangeable" nose for it. Hopefully we can get this model running smoothly.

Cheers!

Thanks CJ.

That model satrted life as the PAW P-40 model! It did not even have a proper cockpit, or Prop. All that wss added to the model over the years, ending in Capt. Kurt's superb P-40 model which worked in D3D but never worked in Glide.

The new model is clean, so it will not suffer from the problems which the old one did, and will be available to skin in bith 8 and 24bit.

Thatīs excellent news to hear, gentlemen. Captain Kurtīs P-40 is really worth those efforts but it gives me problems in my DAW set. Not to mention Adeīs P-40 skins...

And most of all...the new Kittyhawk surely will be glad to be in company of a nice Tomahawk...

clang - "Error 7217"
..was doing all according to the readme.

So - where to begin with? I thought 1.28c would solve the problem?

Could someone point to the procedure?
Thanks in advance...

What video card are you using? I have an infamous nvidia card (6800 GT) and my vanilla install of SPAW worked flawlessly. I even have pretty current drivers (191.07). I did notice the "plane flying around the microprose globe" did not play but I figured that was part of the fix.

1.28C should not give a 7217 error. It may give garbled screens, but not 7217. Your post suggests you were not running the 1.28C exe.
Please supply details of your system anyway so that we have at least some information to work with.

Now your verdict...?

Btw, I use the exe provided first in your setup - from 27.10.2009. Isnīt this the 1.28c?

Fran, it is strange that you are getting a 7217 with an ATI card. I have a 4860 and drivers from mid summer. I get SPAW and EAW in general to run without any errors. The little plane circles the MS Globe and the only thing is that the briefing screen tears.

Have you tweaked your vid card or is it running stock right out of the box?
