========================================================================
The text in this first post replaces an earlier version
I would have deleted it, but that is impossible because comments have been made.
The comments which follow applied to the original post, so they may no longer be relevant
The link in this first post is the dame as the one in the "A new test version of UAW160" thread
========================================================================


The download is only 212 megabytes and you can get it here:
UAW160 equivalent of the 1.2 version download

Run the downloaded "UAW160_Simple.exe" self installer wherever you want to install the folder

It will create a stand-alone "160Simple" folder, but you may need to replace the "eaw.ini" file with yours. Mine suits a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro J/S
The installed folder is only 462 megabytes!

Hmmm.

So the first 160basic you shared a few days ago seems fine.

However with both the newmap and oldmap exes, my mouse is stuck on this V2 one on the menu. Alt tabbing out and back in doesn't seem to fix it either.

I will d/l it and test it tomorrow. In theory this one has tje default 1.2 planes whereas the earlier one has the "European late" set.

I sownloaded it using the link and installed it. I did not have a problem with either. Make a copy of one of the exes and name it "eaw.exe" right click on it and run as administrator.

We often find that double clicking on the "eaw.exe" puts a static picture of the mouse arrow in the middle of the screen. "Run as administrator" fixed that problem, but I prefer to make a shortcut to the "eaw.exe" and put it on the desktop.

Interesting. Just renaming it to eaw.exe fixed the issue. Running as admin wasn't needed.

Hey MrJelly. A thought. How hard would it be to make a Basic160 install with the stock original aircraft types but with updated multi skin stuff?

Basically remake 1.2 but with all the 1.6 graphic improvements (and gun convergence) while keeping the campaigns usable (I know you've mentioned you need to be careful with what is selected for those to work.).

Just a thought as it seems many coming here mainly want a single player nostalgia trip.

We could have copies installed too maybe with the mission making/scrip loading stuff (make a separate patch for those?) and if any show interest in trying multiplayer, it would be an easy intro to hook them since they wouldn't need to learn the plane set and map selection software too. Once we get them hooked, maybe they'd be more open to having and learning all that a full160 has to offer.

Or maybe I am just really curious what a theoretical 1.2 updated to 1.6 would look and feel like. smile

I think this is a great idea.


Heck, even paranoids have enemies.
