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...

My brother was on the Indefatigable when they bombed the Tirpitz. We all thought that he flew on the mission but he told me that he was ill at the time and was unable to fly. He also told me that he always felt much safer when the Corsairs were with them, and that he did not have a lot of faith in t...

I have no idea, apart from the additional dlls in the installation.

Just out of interest I set the GoG 1.28 system up again. Flying with the 1024x768 screen I was getting frame rates in the high 50s and even up to 64. Trying again in 1920x1080 I was getting the low 30s but occasionally up to 45 fps. Might it be possible to negotiate with GoG to see if they can speed...

I did a test by copying a UAW160 folder to an internal drive and running a host only multiplayer mission. The mission was an intercept. When I used my Windows 10 drive with the ini set at 1024x768 the best frame rate was 20 fps. It dropped as soon as the enemy aircraft came into view, and even at 20...

The problem is caused by Windows 10.
If you use d3d the frame rates are terrible. They are good if you use Glide.

Jarod and I are in contact via email. I have sent him a bare-minimum installation which we can use to get his j/s working. Like you, I also recommended that he only uses the SideWinder for EAW. I advised him to check the Windows User Account (UAC). With levels of 0, 1, 2 and 3 it cannot be set to 2 ...
