Hello Joe -
I started out flying with EAW!
I have since moved on to the other new sims, as they came out.
But I've never forgotten the great times I had, and the really great sim EAW really was, and probably still is, or even better.

I'm sure someone with a little more knowledge about how to adapt your flight sim to the newest downloads and add-ons. I'm flying IL2/FB with many....many, add-ons and MOD's. So I'm not familiar with how to 'upgrade' EAW to modern standards. Having trouble's of my own, just keeping up with what I'm flyin'... wink

I'm sure someone will happen by and give you a hand, that knows more than I do. Hang in there. smile

I gotta tell ya Joe....it may take some time.
This is not a sim that has a VERY large following now days, and those that do, probably don't check in but once a day, so if you're sitting in front of your screen and waiting......go have lunch, and come back and check every now and then.
Might take a day or two....but someone will pop up with the info you need.
Also be a good idea to read some of the threads below, and above - some of the 'tips'.
Your answer might be in here somewhere already.

Please be patient smile

Good things, don't come easy.......

Hello JosephSanchez.

It's the Easter Holidays, and most of us are busy with real life, but to answer your qustion, the answer is yes.

For a time EAW has been using 512x512 24 bit skins, which when you look at the mapping of the old models, and compare them, we are at least 1024x1024 or better.

If you go to Iron Mike's page, you can download full squads in 24bit.

You just need to be able to run the game in d3d, not Glide. wink


Supports EAW 1.29.exe, Drop in and Play Technology. wink

1.29 download
