Hi all

A week or two ago, after browsing here, by accident I bought the wrong game. So I'm now a proud owner of EE2Do, which I like for the GFX, but three key shortcomings:

1) No flyable Longbow
2) No 6DOF TrackIR
3) No Mapping of Keys In-Game.

I know EECH with latest mods is much more evolved and polished. Was there ever a workaround for custom keymapping to joystick (without using any joystick-spefific programs)?

I'm seriously tempted to get EECH too now, after seeing some of those 6DOF vids, and the Longbow/Hind cockpit are awesome looking.

Hi,

The downloadable version of EECH is availaible at GOG for $5.99 (don't know what that is in real money, but it's not much. It has a big advantage that it runs without a CD (you download it - 181Mb).

It's here: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/comanche_vs_hokum

I did it a few months ago and it works great.

Hope this helps,

Andy

Thanks, I think they even cut prices on them. It's more a question of time and which version (EE2DO or EECH) I should put my time into.

Like I said, main criticism for EE2DO is with me that I can't simple remap joystick buttons or keyboard commands. If that has been solved for EECH, it would be a major feature.

Remapping is something I am supposed to be working on (life got in the way - to give you some idea - I was due to be finished the remap update in February!) frown

Anyway - you should probably look to 6 weeks from now for that fix in EECH, as I'm nearing the end of a development crunch in my "day job" and remapping is the final part of MY current list of changes to EECH.

Great to hear. This will definitely push me to EECH then. For now I decided to stick with EE2DO as I can live with no 6DOF and no Longbow in return for some better object graphics and I didn't want to start fresh with a new install. But fixing the "frozen key assignment" will be a major feature, I can only imagine how much work it must be,
