Love this game but I would like to be able to take out all the twin engine German Fighters in the original 3 EAW campaigns and replace with ME 109 and FW190. Also would like to replace ME 262 with the FW 190. I would like everywhere in the game then to identify the correct planes, briefing, plane tags, etc. I think I patched to 1.2 but replaced Extension with EAW 1.1 pc3. I dont know if the original patch 1.1 or 1.2 changed campaigns any. I would be a Happy Camper if you could do this for me. Name your Price? I have excellent references on the internet, Ebay, Paypal and have done transactions here on SimHQ with other members. Please let me know if this is possible.

These are some other things below I would like but I would be very Happy with just the changes above.

I have flown hundreds of missions in 1943 campaign in the Spitfire and never have I seen a train with Flak guns.
In the 1944 campaign all trains are armed. Anyway to make all trains in the 1943 Campaign armed like they are in the 1944 campaign?

Would like to see other members when starting a campaign with much higher kills starting out. So it looks like I am flying with some Veterans and Aces. This would help after playing 10 or 15 missions that my kill score isnt so much higher then the rest of my guys.

Think that covers it. Thanks for your time!

Lonny

Also is there anyway to make the Enemy planes and Friendlys in Campaigns all Veterans and Aces like you can in Strike Fighters series?

Thanks!

Hi,
if i read correct you still play with the default game(more or less). Try out EAW1.28e + ETO_01, or at least use the EAWrp2.6 FM´s for EAW1.2, then your kill scrore wont be as high as now.

In EAW1.28e the trains and all convoys(car/ship/tanks) have at least light arms. Many things changed since EAW1.2, you will be suprised.

For EAW1.2 there are several addon campaigns without the 262 but with more 109´s and 190´s(look out for Emils campaigns on Tally Ho).

Hello Knegel, I have a Windows 98 SE machine still with Voodoo 5500, I have added many other enhancements to stock EAW, but I find the dogfighting AI to be far more challenging and deadlier in 1.1pc ver3 then the 1.2 versions. I also tried 1.28 C a while back I was having some strange glitches with my Key Board FKeys not responding when trying to remap key commands, there where a few other glitches, I thought maybe this was because I am using Windows 98SE. I will have to give Emils earlier EAW campaigns a look again, I know last night I fired up his BA Ardennes 1944 campaign, but I used the 1.1pc ver4 and did notice how much ammo 20mm I had to use to bring down a FW 190, not sure if I like this or not. I did notice 2 FW 190 flying very slow they where not smoking and gently collide in ground, seemed odd. I do have a Windows XP machine and one day I will give the latest patch a try again. But for my Windows 98 SE machine I would love to be able to take the twin engine German Fighters out of the campaigns.

For the record how many twin engine fighters are in the original EAW game including the ME 262?

Thanks for reply! VonBeerhofen has sent me 2 files will try this out tonight.

Hi Lonny007.

Have you got a more modern machine? You don't really have to run EAW on an old machine these days, as EAW 1.28e will happily run om an XP, Win7 machine. You can enjoy 24bit colour, HR Terrains, much improved FM's, MS Aircraft, and a lot, lot, more.

Well could someone that was into game play honestly tell me that the newest version patch has just as good enemy AI or better.
1.1 pc was allot more challenging then 1.2. I do understand that the Eye candy and much more probably blows 1.1 away. But for Dogfights only I am curious?

One thing I notice in EAW is if I am on the enemys six, and he yanks and banks and then does that steep climb where I go past him and now he is behind me he never takes the shot? He always brakes away from the engagement. Has this been addressed in the latest version?

Thanks for the replys!

Hi,

EAW1.28e got the best AI´s we ever had and currently iam working on a update.

In the current EAW1.28e the Ai´s shoot with lead and they use rather good evading manouvers.
They also take the offence, if they are near to your tail.

I also still have a Win09 PC (1600 MHz processor single core) and EAW1.28e runs just fine.

Just make a new EAW installation with EAW1.28e, it wont hurt.

VonBeerhofen has made a file to get rid of the German Twin Engined Fighters, seems to work beautiful so far! Its so nice to not have to watch and fight these planes now. One last request if its possible. Can the original 1943 and 1944 flying Spitfire only be made so that I only have fighter sweeps?

Thanks for all the replys!

Hi Lonny007,
VonBeerhofen is the most knowledgeable guy that could help you
with your requests with anything 1.1 or 1.2.

Lonny,

First let me say that no one here is going to take a dime for anything they do for EAW or the folks who play the game. It's a hobby, pure and simple.

I've spent many, many hours editing campaigns, both the original ones and a number of new ones that I and my team put together.

The change that you want to make for the Spitfire campaign is very simple. You might want to try to editing the game yourself. Here's the link to a brand new campaign editor by Mr. Jelly:

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3438391/Campaign_editor_released.html#Post3438391

I'd like to suggest that you give it a try and then come back for guidance and advice. I'd be more than willing to help you out and I'm sure a lot of the other guys would too.

Also, as an incentive I can tell you that it's very gratifying to make a change and see the effect in the game.

Thanks AngleOff sounds like I have the best guy for the task then. Thats good news that I can fly only fighter sweeps in the original 1943 and 1944 campaigns with the Spitfire. In Strike Fighters you could kinda limit the number of certain missions but not eliminate entirely, kinda of odd. I will check this campaign editor out tonight, thanks for the info Rotton50!
