European Air War - The Gen

1.6 can apparently support hi-res bitmap skins for ground objects. I've never knowingly used them. Anyone had success with hi-res skins? Is it a bit of a load on the frame rate?

Thanks Ed, will try and get some of these AA guns modelled.

Yes, we need to do this as simply as possible. For the frontline airfields we can probably adapt the default "green field" setup, substitute hangars, swap buildings and barracks for tents.

I will approach the ground objects in groups i.e. for Airfields, for cities, for villages, for the front line, moving vehicles etc. Almost all frontline airfields are going to be quite simple. A more or less rectangular field, a few of the French temporary hangars, maybe one wooden hangar in some pl...

Thanks Edlaz. Have you got a similar list for Germany?

Ray - I will continue to look through the European setups to see what can be used/adapted.

Some of the stuff done for Iraq will do nicely - the Rolls Royce and other armoured cars for example. They were still using 1WW stuff there.

Basically using the default European map area. So yes to floatplanes.

Those big German bombers are certainly a sight.

Having now looked through the original twf ground object setup, I can say it was based on the original Dunkirk ground object setup. There are some differences, it has a German 1WW tank for example, and the 1WW temporary hangers. The list is restricted to the old EAW default of 72 slots, so with 1.6 ...

This sounds like a plan. Having got the stuff from Ade, I'm pretty sure I have more or less all that was done previously for the WW1 scenario I'm trying to put together a basic 1.6 setup. Ade sent amongst other things what hed been done for a Winter setup. I set up the tile editor with both Summer a...

Thanks Ray, Those late war planes look good. I am trying to get the scenario sorted. I've been in touch with Ade (Flying Tiger) as to who did what in the original TWF setup, and whether he has any files which I don't. He has mentioned a Spring and Winter scenario, which I don't have any files for. T...

Ray, how do you feel about some requests? :scary: For the early period we need: Royal Aircraft Factory FE2b Royal Aircraft Factory BE2c Vickers FB5 "Gunbus" For the mid period: Halberstadt DII & III and for the heavy bombers: Friedrichshafen GIII Zeppelin-Straaken R VI I can't see that...

That's a good idea. Maybe Include date bracket of principal operational use ie "March 1915-June 1917" which would be very helpful. Managed to get the original TWF tile matrix converted to eaw32.tm and loaded into the map editor today. It looks good for the new setup with the pockmarked ter...

The dates there are useful in putting together planesets.

I'm trying to sort out tile maps, terrains, and target layouts from previous WW1 attempts.

And gather together whatever WW1 ground objects we have.

Ray, I've started to try and put together a 1.6 WW1 setup using your 29-12-25 aircraft collection.

Are there any more planes/FMs ready for addition to that set?

Got most of W10 computer back together again. Had to reinstall all those odd ocx etc files that make many eaw utilities work. Also managed to put in the updated and final driver for the Radeon video card. If I'm not mistaken, does the eaw horizen fog even better! Missing many old internet links, but...

Hello Lolo,

I have had a look through all my stuff, including the gamecode, and I cannot find any reference to adjusting engine overheating, other then the general ability to exclude it completely in the game setup screen.
