Blackplume:
Just check your eaw.ini file for the keyboard settings.

Mine reads

START ENGINE 1=CTRL 1
START ENGINE 2=CTRL 2
START ENGINE 3=CTRL 3
START ENGINE 4=CTRL 4
THROTTLE UP=EQUALS
THROTTLE DOWN=MINUS
THROTTLE 0=SHIFT MINUS
THROTTLE 10%=1
THROTTLE 20%=2
THROTTLE 30%=3
THROTTLE 40%=4
THROTTLE 50%=5
THROTTLE 60%=6
THROTTLE 70%=7
THROTTLE 80%=8
THROTTLE 90%=9
THROTTLE 100%=0

The MINUS and EQUALS keys are on the keyboard next to Backspace and not on the numeric keypad.

Up and running here. Bloody good!

Thanks to all involved!

EDIT: The curious thing is that I get non-warped screens without using the windower. Which is very good indeed!

Magnific job Jel
Now I downloading it...

Hi guys

Another impressive achievement!

Thank you very much to all who have made this possible!

Question - I have most of the old add on and modded aircraft for EAW. Are they usable in the 1.28d and 1.28e versions, or will they not render properly at 1024x768? I have quite a few flight sims (including the Ilushin one, which I find kinda blah), but eaw has the best campaigns by far.

They are usable in 1.28e because the 1024x768 size only applies to the graphics used for the selection screens and the corresponding menus, not the game itself.

TY, tried a clean install with 1.28d last night and it worked like a charm, in flight. The offline mission screen was sometimes garbled (pixilation and color distortion), but the buttons functioned, the added post flight graphic suffered the same every time. The map for selecting base and target did not render properly either on my system. The locations were way off (southern English airfields were in Northern France) and although the target markers were visible I couldn't switch targets. The cursor also left permanent trails on the map. The comp has a fresh install of xp on it, and all current drivers. p4 1.7 with 1.25 gb ram, so I'm tempted to put it down to that particular video card, an Nvidia 5200. I'm going to try the 1.28e version tonight or tomorrow.

Great job on this. I have 15+ years worth of various flight sims, including IL2, and like most who have played eaw, it is my favorite. I was reinstalling it specifically to replay the long campaign. While cfs has excellent flight dynamics and tons of available aircraft their missions are really lame and the idea of having every base but your home an enemy was just 'silly', to put it politely.

If you check the thread "Versions of the exe- which way to go?" you will see that 1.28d is redundant.
1.28e is so much more advanced, and comes with four planesets in addition to the default planes.
With luck you can avoid the screen corruption that you describe by using the d3d windower.

Just finished reading that thread, ironically, while I was downloading the full boat of 1.28e add-ons. I have a 1gb p3 with an MX400 NV card that only supports the pre nvidia error driver so i'm going to do an original eaw install on that system and install the full 1.28e package on my main system. I've had the DAW and Mediterranean mods ever since they hit the net but never got around to actually using them much. Looking forward to that and the SPAW mod (made my own version of that a few years back for offline). I like the WW1 flying too and have all the orig planes and mods (ground objects, hangers, etc), people made for it. Wondering if it's worthwhile to attempt a separate 1.28e install for a ww1 version...

Did a clean install of 1.28e yesterday on my 1.7 p4, with all of the add ons. Works like a charm. Still having the preflight and map screen issues though so i'm going to google 'd3d windower' to figure out wth yer talkin about,

First installed EAW on a 160mhz SOYO (586 architecture), with maybe 64 mb's of ram and a 4 mb vid card(under the min requirements for the game but the SOYO was a beast and could pull it off). EAW, you've come a long way, baby!
