I have been trying to get the JG26 campaign to run in 1.28E. It is an older campaign, I think for 1.2.

Is it possible to use it in 1.28E? I load it through the OAW selector, I can start the game, then select the campaign for 1944, It shouws up in the briefing, but will crash when you hit start.

Any ideas.

Hi Steven,

are there any screens included?? EAW1.28e use 1024x768 screens, if you load oold screens(800x600) the game will crash.

Actually i never did hear about a JG26 campaign, where can i get it??

Greetings,

Knegel

I got the campaign at Sandbaggers site many years ago; http://www.eaw.it/

Fabio's in the EAW Skin section

Hi Steven,
I see the campaign files are dat files with two str files.
I'm sure some of those dat files would need to be edited
for a 1.28e format. Maybe the airfield.dat or frontline dat
is causing the problem. Anyway, they probably need to be edited.
It sounds like a nice campaign with the Doras.
Do you have ETO_01? I would have to check, but there might be
a 44 or 45 Dora career, that would include Iron Mike's multiskin Pak.
Every Dora in your squad is different. But I dont know if the career
would include the famous German pilots....although it might still be
a possibility to OAW/add the Rank Pak.

Maybe someone here can have a look at this campaign and fix it.

There is no Dora Career AO, unfortunately, you only can fly it on single mission!

Cheers

Roger that........
so I would assume some editing needs doing....
I got as far as Steven....I get a ctd when I click okay,
when selecting the JG26 career.
Thanks,
AO

Steve,

OK tested it here with a release version of the original 1.28E exe in and it all works except for the airfields.dat. I would try flying it with that file left out, I dont know what he did with it but it doesn't work here.

Dont forget to rename the dir.set file out of the way so the game doesn't look for its plane files in the eto_01 folder and get the skins horribly mixed up with those supplied with the campaign....











cheers,

What do you do to the dir set file? You just rename it to dirset_old?

I will give it a try tomorrow

Thanks

Hi guys,
I just deleted the airfield.dat file from the campaign files.
I did NOT load the skin sets that came with it.
I loaded ETO_01 with my dirsetpicker.
Started the game, chose career, and started the JG26 career
in a 190D9. (Mikes Multiskins) Excellent!.
Gonna also try and load the Rank-Pak to see if I get the pilot names
and ranks in the squadron. Thanks Pobs!

I will try this today.

I very like this campaign, have flown it many years.

I average 35 to 40 kills per campaign.


Will let you know
