This is a thread about the capabilities of the exe, and in the convoy screenies I referred to the Little BoB theatre as being experimental.

The roads and the convoys were created to test that the railway code is working, and that the files and other data relating to the convoy make-up, number of columns, column separation and vehicle separation are being used.
It allows me to test the code that I have written and the files that I have made.
Importantly, it allows other modders to see what can be done and how to do it.

All good; my comments were intended as intending to supply possibly useful, historical information, and not at all as criticisms of the experiment.

I appreciate the healthy attitude everyone is displaying.

Thank you.

Yes very peaceful and welcomed

Railway interdictions

I enjoy flying railway interdictions off-line or on-line, and it is great when there are are plenty of targets to attack
So I have just updated my "ETO with Train-Barges" theatre by adding targets with 3 or 4 TMods close to the barge tracks and names such as "Allied barges 01" for easier location when you want to fly a "Mixed" interdiction.
"Mixed" Interdictions have replaced train interdictions to allow the interdiction of any convoy that runs on rails (rendered or otherwise).

In that theatre there is an extensive railway system which can be displayed in the target editor as white lines:


I can use it to identify a target close to a railway line, such as Le Mans in the screenie.
In 160 when a target for a "Mixed" interdiction is selected the convoy is spawned on the section of track closest to the target.

When I get home I will make a simpler utility without all the bells and whistles of the full target editor to allow players to identify targets close to railway lines.

How about integrating this into the target upgrade ETO2015 package.

Lots of railways in there too.

In my revised version of ETO2015 I fixed up a number of problems with the RRD file and added some targets along some of the tracks for selection.
There are also some sea convoys on invisible tracks

Some targets for the Axis missions:

Hi , Jelly , a very big thank you for your work . But , please , make one click install for your 160 Special , beciouse , i not understand if need all exe in your mediafire folder or only some 160 patch exe. thank you again

I am rebuilding the 160 installation from my current folder.
It is a 2 part installation.

Part1 is here:
160InstallationPart1

It is a 7-zip self installer.
When you run it it creates a "UAW160" folder, which has the minimum files and folders for a working installation test.
If you run the "eaw.exe" (maybe with your own "eaw.ini") it should give you the UAW default ETO theatre and aircraft.
This will be a test to see if your system works

Part2 is uploading very slowly right now, so it is not yet available.
It is named "UAW160Part2.exe" and will need to be run in the "UAW160" folder when you know that your Part1 installation is working.
It is a big file 918MB, so it will be some time before it is uploaded and available.

The upload is complete so part 2 is here:
160InstallationPart2

Once the download has been tested, I intend to remove the old links and tidy up my Mediafire folder.

Hi everyone first time poster on the EAW threads. I'm hoping somebody out there may be able to help?

I have a clean install of EAW,i then patch it to (I think it's 1.2..something) I've downloaded both of the parts of the 160 installation files MrJelly and everything seems to work fine plane and theatre selector alls well until...I click fly it shows 0 percent loading then ctd,s. If anybody has any clues or advice it'd be massively welcomed. Thank you Mr Jelly and others who do fantastic work on this old lady keep her flying in 2018 and beyond.

Fwiw I have Win7 64bit and GTX 1070 with a I7 4790k if any of that info helps.

Adger..Up to the top of this forum there's a stckey by Mr Jelly on installing 1.60 I don't think you need to install anything else just unzip part 1 test it and unzip part 2 into the same folder,,

Thanks for the reply Russ,il be at my PC in a couple of hours il read and retry..Thanks pal

Ok Adjar I'm sure Jelly will be by if you get stuck..

If you have any problems, the experts here will walk you through it.

There is an amazing amount of talent here.

And welcome. Don’t be shy about posting.

Cheers guys..Thanks Oldgrognard I'm a big fan of OBD,s fine sims but it's been some years since I fired up this old girl,I'm sure that with people's help il get up and running soon.Again thanks to you both

There's something about this game. No other provides an atmosphere quite like it; and the world it depicts is modelled, for me at least, in a way that seems very real and well-proportioned despite the primitive graphics. I love the way it loads quickly. I've gone back from VP modpack to HSFX 7, in IL-2, because I got browned off waiting for five or six minutes to load. With EAW, one can be in the middle of an enormous fur-ball in seconds, with no time to worry about graphics.

I mess with those also IL-2 BAT with a merged install of VP Mod pack,,And Flanders Fields and Stalingrad and CLOD but thet tend to be boring sometimes but EAW has soul and is a joy to fly and a great down to earth community here ,,On some other boards I felt like i was being talked down to..I might not be the coldest beer in the fridge But I'm far from an idiot

Ok guys..im usually pretty good at using mods,patches ect but EAW 160 has me stumped Now as soon has i click on the eaw.exe it crashes.

Do i need a clean install of eaw? do i need to patch it (official or code group)? Im like a dog with a bone with these things and so any advice would be welcomed..Thanks guys

Did you reboot after installing it ? I find I have to rebbot after flying ,,and let me see what I did when installing..Here's Jellys post.

http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.p...onalisation-and-installation#Post4447595

EDIT..OK Adger I followed Jellys instructions and just downloaded the first part and used 7 zip to extract it to UAW160 and rebooted and ran it before moving on to the 2nd part A quote from Jelly's post Make sure the first part works first Then unzip the second part to that actually you can just copy the zip and tell it to extract here" I like 7 zip easy to use

I actually have,nt tried a reboot Russ. Thanks again for your help,il try a reboot and get back to you.
Yep i read MrJellys thread mate,but it does,nt provide me with Original EAW installation notes..to get 160 up and running.

Im not sure if i have to do a full install from cd or just copy the files from CD has noted on MarkEAW.s page? then im not sure what, if any patch to install before i add the UAW160 folder? Also wrappers ect..
cheers pal
