Just downloaded EAW 1.29 and the NGlide. Open up EAW selected Grafics and clicked on Glide. Started a single mission, selected acft and clicked on Fly Mission. 3dfx screen flashed, screen went black the sent me back to desk top. Any ideas? Use windows 10

I down loaded it from Col Gibbon on the Mediafire web site. I guess a bad download. What do you suggest? I deleted the download.

Col Gibbon asked me to make a "barebones" 1.29 exe without the bells and whistles as a private release just for his modding. There was already a 1.29 release available with a filemanager and several theatres (DAW, SPAW etc) and a heap of planes and planesets, but he did not want it. So I made the private release for him, but sometime later he released it publicly. It does work, but it is absolutely basic. I was justifiably angry but he refused to delete it fromMediaFire. If you really want 1.29 then check this thread, but you could jump straight to 160 http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4453472/older-installations-at-mediafire#Post4453472

As you are younger than me you are just a Spring chicken LOL This may be the simplest: http://www.mediafire.com/file/rgve5aj11k6m42g/EAW126.exe/fileYou get a 7-zip self installer named "EAW126.exe" and when you run it it creates a working "EAW126" folder in the same directory which is a complete installation. Make sure that your Joystick is plugged in when you first run the "eaw.exe" in the folder.

Thanks Mr Jelly. You make me feel young. You are obviously sharper than the average bear. I gave my joy stick away years ago. So I guess I need to get another before I down load the game is that right?
I really wanted to ck out the game before I purchased another joystick. Is that possible? Can you recommend a joy stick?
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Copied and pasted the ini info. Works great. All I need now is to get accustomed to the new set up. Thanks Mr Jelly. Also Rwatson for your input. Much appreciated!

I have been using the 126 exe download and it works fine. As I remember when I flew EAW before there were missions where I could chase down V2 rockets and such. Is there a patch or something to where I could expand the range of things to do with this download?
Thanks

Hi Android1, v1.26 is practically the stock game, the only changes are NoOS version (it will no longer check if it can run on other Windows versions) and a so called canon fix, meant to make AI use their canons more often. So your V1 intercepts are still part of the game, both in single mission mode as in campaign mode. The V1 can only appear in the latest part of the war, so whichever you fly you must select 1944 or 1945 as the mission or campaign year. In campaign mode the appearance of V1's are preprogrammed so you can't really change much as to when it appears, selecting a certain planetype may have some influence though. In single mission mode you should select an Allied intercept mission and set primary enemy aircraft to V1, secondary enemy planes will be greyed out. In EAWPRO the V1 can appear in any mission type when selected as either primary or secondary enemy, and it's flyable too. However to get diver behaviour the plane should be set as none flyable in the PLANES.DAT, but it's set to flyable by default, meaning it's using AI behaviour and not flying straight and level as when set to none flyable.
