I'm sorry if I missed a modification or contributor.
Please write about this here, the next bug fix release will contain that.

NSIS failed to use sources of more than 2GB, the installation has been split into several files.

FireBird

P.S. Guys, please modify eechcentral for this release.

Thanks FireBird. I bet a lot of hard work went into this. Looking forward to trying it out.

Ditto!

Thank you Firebird,

I appreciate you putting this package together for us...

It works great per your install instructions,,the only thing I had to do was import my old EECH.INI,game.cfg, & GWUT1130.csv files...

dfang

Thx guys!

I will update EECH Central, but soonest on Monday (if anyone has time inbetween, feel free).

Nice work FireBird :-)

(Edit: And everyone else - sorry about that )

Martin...

Super! Thanks for all the work on it.

Want SimHQ to mirror the files?

Well. We have a slight disagreement with Firebird
In my opinion as long as we will not find the cause of bug,as long fire and smoke
not they will look like they can and they should.Please treat all effects as infinite.
Everything will look a lot better, and will be released a small update.
ATM imo smoke and fire looks better without wind affected.
Everyone can assess it, simply enter the file smokes.csv
And change last 1 from x;x;x;x;x;1 to x;x;x;x;x;0
in these lines :
4;FIRE;SMOKE
34;FLAME;flame_smoke;

Thanks all for you work

Fantastic, can't wait to learn what I'm doing. Don't suppose there are any places with tutorials are there? It's been so long I've lost the manuals.

Also, the Mi24 cockpit's front glass pane is completely opaque, so I can't see through it. Did I miss something or hose it up?

Thank you all for your hard work.

I hope this is the right place to report bugs for this version:

There seems to be an issue with the Apache compass size (I tried reinstalling twice...)



And the issue with the Hind:





Also, I don't mean to be rude, but how do you disable the new fire/smoke effects?
