Hello everybody
Aces over Europe is now online.

I take this opportunity to thank everyone, even those who have expressed their appreciation for what I have done with just one word. Special thanks to MrJelly for making major changes to the game, thanks Ray Otton and Von Beerhofen for being willing to help out when I needed it.

I recommend downloading the game guide, it contains things that may be useful to everyone. Unfortunately I haven't had time to see the latest changes made by MrJelly to solve some bugs. Hope to check this out soon.
I also remember that on ModDb you will also find a set of airplanes (SingleSkin) and the 1.20 patch in Italian for EAW.

I just downloaded and installed it. The exe supplied has the terrain bug, and it does not use the edited times for dawn and dusk missions to get the nice effects of sunrise and sunset.

The fixed exe has a different parameters screen.
I can see exactly what would need to be done to allow the new exe to be used wink

YES, if you change it you have to make it match the mission selection screen.

Next I have to put the AEO icon in the EAW.EXE file

Thanks

There is a link here:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/lo1bihlfy7w1i55/Dec9exes.exe/file

I recommend that you find the installation, copy the "Aces Over Europe 2022" folder and paste it so that the copy can me modified.
Move the downloaded 7-zip self installer "Dec9exes.exe" into the copy of your "Aces Over Europe 2022" folder and run it there.

This will add four files to the "Aces Over Europe 2022" folder:
Dec9thNewMap.exe
Dec9thOldMap.exe
TARGMAP.PIC
TARGMAP1.PIC

The latter two are used by the Dec9thNewMap.exe.

Thanks a lot. cheers
However I think I will have to rename the .exe files to eaw.exe.



Perfect, they work fine and you need to rename them anyway.. I'll prepare the patch for ModDB.

Thanks

Mine work without being re-named.
How did you change the icons of your exes?

You need to download the Resource Hacker program

MrJelly

can you please check if you have a CTD when you press the button to show the map while in flight. Happens to me with the British and the Americans. Not with the Germans.

I tried with the old map

Thanks

I figured out where the mistake is. In the sprites.cdf file that you did a few days ago. Check if you can.

I re-installed AoE2022 from your download.
I added my two exes with icons that I modified using resource hacker ( thanks for that), and the correct ETO map files for the new map version.

There is a zipfile available here:

Hi Modred,

Hope you are doing well! I just installed AoE 2022 and gave it a go briefly and I'm super impressed! I captures and maintains the feel of the original EAW which I love while expanding what the sim can do. Love the multiskins on the aircraft and the sound and environmentals all go well together. Looking forward to digging into it further but for now I wanted to send a quick note of thanks. It looks fantastic!

Cheers!

Thanks for your appreciation, I'm very happy. winkngrin

Yes, my goal was to give the player feedback from the 40's. For example, if you notice, all hangars are animated. I point out that if you wait a while in the p38 hangar, you will see the fighter engine start up. This thing had also escaped me but it has always been present in the game. Very appreciable indeed.
I still have to publish a patch that inserts some graphical improvements, like for example the trees with snow ... ...

But now I'm on standby for a bit

cheers

This is definitely a fine piece of work! Thanks Mariano! I think newbies should be pointed to this download right away. This will give them the best first impression of EAW.
