So, I plan on installing the CD version tonight and I want to confirm steps for a bug free install...

1.Install EEAH
2.Run once to unpack
3.Install 1.1E patch
4.Install EECH
5.Install 1.4.1C patch
6.Install 1.13.0 All Mods


Thank you!

All ok,and 7 Set .ini file

I believe you need another step between 3 and 4, which is to run EEAH again. At least that's what the instructions say: http://www.eechcentral.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installation_guide_with_EEAH

I don't know enough about the game to mess with that yet.

Thanks though

Ok but I definitely DO NOT want to that after the EECH install or else I will jack up some data file that will hose my all mods install, correct?

Thanks!

How is the new Apache avionics mod coming?

Trying to DL 1.13 all mods and I am only getting 130 of 705 megs.

Is there another source besides eech Central?

Thanks!

This is what I did for a clean install. I never ran EEAH a second time, and never ran EECH until everything was installed. You will have to configure your eech.ini on completion as previously stated if you want the nice GFX quality

Im up and running on 1.13.0.

I presume EECH Central has a guide on tweaking the ini for max graphics?

Thanks!

Hey, UT - I think you want to at least make these settings adjustments in your ini. I think these and others are mentioned in the read me or faq or used to be. They are needed for good graphics as the new EECH is intended:
texture_colour=1
texture_filtering=1
mipmapping=1
dynamic_water=1

Let us know what you think about these and other aspects of EECH, from a fresh perspective. Good to see you.

texture_colour should be set to 2.

Uh - oh. Took this from the materials on the EECH Wiki! The entry says it is a toggle, and I incorrectly assumed that meant o - off, 1 on.

But thanks for the correction. Wiki update or clarification time?

Chaddog sent me his ini file and I copied it over. I am amazed at the graphics and arneh Longbow avionics conversion is running neck and neck with DCS A-10c for piece of software I am most excited about.

Gonna be looking for some MP soon so, get ready

Your very welcome, remember, when you want to do multiuplayer turn dwash=0.

I just reinstalled and looking fwd to playing out one of the campaigns. Its been a long while. The install procedure w/ the [C] patch added is much appreciated. Couple of weird things for me.

I'm running at 1650-rez and loose my cursor - a lot ! Anyone else see this?

And when I first edited the .ini with the texture updates I got a kewl new UI with Comanche pix. Logged off, came back into game and the vanilla UI is now there. How do I get the Comanche one?


Thanx for any help !

I changed it at:

http://www.eechcentral.com/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting#Graphics

Did you find it anywhere else?

Yes, it dissapears from view sometimes when outside of 1024x1024 area. But don't know a solution.




By default it will randomly use a theme of background images. So you'll get different ones each time.

It happens to me know and then, Just Alt+TAB out and back into the game. EECH does not crash anymore with Alt+TAB like it used.
