Re: Battle of Britain campaign issue
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...

Re: Battle of Britain campaign issue
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...

Re: Chris Cartledge, Fleet Air Arm pilot who bombed Tirpitz
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...

Re: Glide Aircraft Skin Issues
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...

Re: Glide Aircraft Skin Issues
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...

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

Re: Jarod's help post
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 ...

Re: Bringing back the Fairey Barracuda
My brother bombed the Tirpitz in one in 1944. He was much relieved when HMS Indefatigable was sent to the far East and they switched to Avengers.

Re: Additions to the eaw.ini file In Code Group Releases 128A-150
There is also an Alt-G which toggles the gunsight. If cockpit view is off then it can give you a clear screen for screenshots. F8 has been remapped. It is a toggle which turns off/on the data display (aircraft type, range, and the little square box) for the selected target plane. Turning it off when...

Re: Fine Tuning UAW 1.6 - those mpf files and presence files
As soon as I can I will check the source code re- mpf files.
In many cases the routine that reads them starts with the default values and then if the file is found it is read and the exe uses the new values.
The default values may give the user some idea of the appropriate range.

Well done.
However, MissAlli.mpf and MissAxe.mpf are not used in 160.

Enjoy flying multiplayer missions in UAW160
From what we learned from one of the original programmers the EAW multiplayer code in the original release was far from being finalised. It was a set of "make-do" routines assembled in haste in order for the game to be released. A minimum of two players was needed, so it was impossible to ...
