thanks guys... So those 3 are different stuff (barebones,foundation and specialGR), i did follow jelly instruction but im still confuse with the others you mention barebones and foundation. I thought it was a whole pack to install into one folder installation with specialGR i really want to play campaign or single mission especially in the ETO and still need guide which version had the most complete in the campaign or single mission?

I just download 1.29 in signature col.gibbon but seems always crash to desktop when click fly mission (i did install master EAW in full ) and drop 1.29 inside master EAW and overwrite the original file, is that the correct step Mark? also is 1.29 still using 2D pit ? yes too bad 2D pit only max 640x480 res i just know it right now Thanks for your time guys, so sorry for asking so much noob question as im still learning to run the game properly as this game had so much memory in my life back in 1998 when it comes out with only keyboard at that time and no joystick to play with

If you got v1.29 from Col.Gibbon, then you just unzipp it and run it. (you don't need the disc) I'm not sure if it has the 2D pits. v1.2 does have them however. Like iron mike says you copy the files from the CD to a new folder on your hard drive. (you do not use install programs) Heres a link to a help doc to get v1.2 added to your hard drive. https://eaw.neocities.org/eaw-manually-install.html

Hi Woki, EAWPRO is an unofficial upgrade which can be added to a FULL install of v1.1 or v1.2 of the original game, or better a copy of your CD onto your drive. It has full 2D cockpit functionality. All you have to do is to extract this ZIP into the game's rootfolder. where the EAW.EXE resides and allow overwrites, a reboot after install is adviced. An EAW.INI is included with entries for a NoCD/NoOS version and screenresolution is set to 1024 x 768 by default (change if necessary). It can be obtained from this link at Mark's website: https://rabartel.home.xs4all.nlYou may or may not need the 3D Windower program to get it working if you can't run it in D3D mode or encounter error 7217 (no EAW screensupport in graphics card). Mark's website also has a full description of the changes in EAWPRO. Hope that suffices to get you back on track again. Good luck! VonBeerhofen

Mark is hosting my latest released EAWPRO version, if it's working then there's no need for other files. There is a seperate set of v1.2 campaign files for it which you'll need if you're going to fly campaignmode. You will loose the large targetset and the flyable bombers, but the v1.2 targets are the only set which will allow unhindered campaign play. It also restores the original v1.2 flightmodels, all other EAWPRO features will remain. Adding the set to the 1.29 version may probably also work, but perhaps Mark knows better. If you're interested you can find the downgrade here: https://rabartel.home.xs4all.nl/FX1.2_Targets_FM.ZIPJust extract the .ZIP into (a copy of) your EAWPRO gamefolder, where the EAW.EXE resides and allow overwrites. BTW you can have multiple copies of EAW on your drive but the use of a registry cleaner may have an adverse effect as filepointers may be pointed to another install if the game finds any files missing. Other version's files are NOT compattible with EAWPRO in some cases. However you can reload/reinstall the original EAWPRO files to restore functionality. VonBeerhofen

Yeah i just did a very basic of running EAW modded version but i think i have to give up with installing another addons such skins,effects,terrain and other...GEEZZ it's so freakin me out just to learn it from the scratch! I mean after looking at Mark mediafire directory file addons list and Tally-Ho is like i think i can't go in there and i can imagine your EAW Installation must big so HUGE with that plenty mods! its just too many game mods right now in my head and why just not making A BIG ADVANCED EAW with huge modding inside in All in One Package! leaving with basic skins,effects and others and then seeing that plenty addons to install just make me already got lost somewhere...LOL, I love addons or mods but EAW addons is kinda different and more complex than any vintage ww2 flightsim like cfs2 , cfs3 or il-2. Anyway Thanks so much for your help and hospitality in EAW Community..really appreciate that
