European Air War - The Gen

The career files appear to accept the nationality designation in the individual aircraft's 1.6 plane.dat. I hoped this would be the case, and so it seems to be. Whatever the coding mechanism which Ralf put in to replace the old fixed slot process, getting rid of the old combined planes.dat, and maki...

Yes, the original 1.2 planelists for DAW and Malta are mixed in a way which offends our usual convention of keeping allied/axis planes in traditional slots. I have simply made 1.6 planesets which follow those original lists and "slotless" 1.6 doesn't seem to care. I have the right planes t...

I'm reworking the original career setup for both DAW and Malta with some success. I hope shortly to have a 1.6 download for Anromar. In this I have essentially used the original 1.2 theatre target layout and associated campaign files with updated 1024 screens and eaw32 tile map, with new 1.6 planese...

Hello Anromar, and welcome to the board.

I am having a look at the Mediterraean setup to see what is causing this problem. Essentially GYTown.tpc is a skinfile for an aircraft carrier.

We have been having some problems with career mode.

Get back to you soonest.

In April 2001 the original version of the Midway mod was released: " In the course of the second world war although many Americans did expect Japanese landings on the west coast, and at the very least, Japanese bombing of the west coast cities, there never was a "Battle of America" as...

The Gen opened up - the public board was now visible to all net users. A number of private working groups were created to assist modders working on the various new theatres including China, Eastern Front, Korea, Midway, Carrier Air War etc. The intention to funnel the energies involved in EAW and co...

I have got some stuff done this month, between migraine bouts (swear by immigran!). Started by continuing with the scenarios in the Italy/Balkan/Ukraine setup by looking at a theatre/planes setup for the "Transylvanian Crisis" of August 1940. This was a brief spat started by Hungary, which...

I'm running 1.28 and having an issue with the Battle of Britain campaign as the Luftwaffe. On missions the RAF aircraft always chase the Luftwaffe all the way back to their airfields in France. Needless to say this is hardly accurate, highly annoying and it's impossible to continue the campaign as ...

Thanks Ray, I will have a go at putting together a new planeset for the default careers. Now, SPAW. How best to put together a setup that will run SPAW careers - I note Jel's post above about the carrier deck height problem. Which exe is best to use? And sorry to ask the question again but as there ...
