European Air War - The Gen

Thanks Moggy

I understand the slot free system perfectly. What I find strange is that in what I believe to be the original DAW release two Italian fighters were set as allied and the marauder was set as axis in the "planes.dat" file in the data.cdf. This certainly causes problems in single missions whe...

What bothers me is not the slots, but things like the Marauder which must be assigned as German in the DAW planes.dat, and two Italian fighters flagged as allied in the DAW planes.dat. Building a plane-set would certainly correct these faultss, but would the career files still be OK? Further checkin...

I just tried the 1.28c conversion of DAW.
The Marauder seems to be a German bomber when you select it as the secondary plane in an allied intercept or an axis escort.
I was also surprised that a couple of Italian fighters are allied planes.

The multiplayer friendly version:

This theatre is not meant for careers. The career files are the ones from the original Desert Air War release. However, there are additional aircraft carriers, In Mediterranean2021 theater and a different front-line so the career files no longer match. I have a "Gytown.tpc" file in the fol...

There is a problem with the improved cockpits that CJ is aware of. The speed displayed at the bottom left is not the same as on the needle.

Looking at the theatres that have campaigns it is clear that they are old. When they are used in UAW160 the additional features of UAW160 (such as up to 1000 TMods) are not used. There is nothing to be gained by running them in career mode in UAW160.

I just looked at my 1.28c pack.
The original careers are there for Spain, DAW and Malta.
There is little to be gained from making a UAW160 version.

I have a 1.28E FAW installation with careers working
It is far too complex to convert to UAW160.

Can we have the SPAW careers and the default/Spain/Finland/DAW careers in the same setup albeit with separate exes? OK we have the SWAW and ETO ones now. However, I wonder if it is worth doing others. I have the impression that the issues raised by others are coming from players with a GoG installa...

This is an installation that has both the ETO and SPAW careers, with a universal exe:

I found a 160 career installation which allows the user to fly an ETO career or a SPAW career. I ran into problems, but found the cause. When Ray released his final cut version of SPAW with the possibility of on deck objects a new height system was needed. I had to change the code which sets the hei...

I have made a pack for just the ETO theatre: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17Cn3imQqR10NEluFgVVd4tXLFCylixOi/view?usp=sharing Running the downloaded file creates a "Career April 01 2024" folder. The exe may need the "alt-G" gunsight fix mentioned by CaptJ, but otherwise things ...

The BoB campaign files in EAW1.2 became inaccurate when 1.28c was introduced because an extra target/base was added when we introduced the "Allied Carrier" in the North Sea. Later on the original 1.2 theatre was added to theUAW160 theatres so that the 1.2 ETO careers could be flown in UAW1...

1.28 was our first release, but I do not think that any campaign files were changed. Hence, they are the 1.2 campaign files. I do not think that anyone has modified the ETO files, except the ones in 1.28c. This was done because the introduction of the "Allied Carrier" in the North Sea adde...
