That would be nice wouldn't it? I first stumbled across Airfix at the C&M 5 and dime store in my home town. The MiniMen were 50 cents a box and I've still got hundreds of them in bags. The models were priced just right at 39 cents each. I bought a Stuka, Spitfire, Me109 and a Tiger Moth the firs...

Beer! Brothels. Babes. We are sounding like the other forum.
Scaleable maps would be nice, yes. But I still think nav help is needed. A heading to follow or some suchthing.

Ah bo, that means I need to learn to navigate. People like me need navigation help, perhaps there could be nav help in the inflight map. Like heading to target etc.

Targeting has not been an issue with me. What I don't get is autopilot. Is it suppposed to work in multiplayer?
I've remapped all other keys to my satisfacton and they seem to work fine.

I'd love to figure out what that may be. I've run quite a few other programs old and new w/o problems. Like Grand Prix Legends, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Silent Hunter III, Brothers in Arms. Only Grand Prix IV and EAW seem to make me crazy. Then are there any diags to recomend to test the stabil...

It looks like I'm the only one so far to use ATI. What I don't understand is why sometimes I can fly all night without a problem and others I'll get a CTD with the XP has a problem and must close message after a few minutes.

I didn't install EAW, I copied it from a 1.26e install on my WIn98 box.

EAW and Windows XP Screen Quality

I'm wondering if there is a coorelation between color quality settings and some CTD's in EAW. Do you use 16 or 32 bit quality? And, how many if any use compatibility mode and 256 colors. Or, does it make no difference at all.

Hey Schreckie, I sent Ray a series of map plates, the one in my earlier post is one of them. Let me know if you'd like those plates. There are about 10-12 plates and 20-25 pages of text. The entire section is about 80 megs. I think I may have swamped ol Ray the other night. Iron Mike. Ping me if you...

So far all is ok, I've been busy and haven't added the new file to the mix exe 1 or the unlables eaw.eaw (also a Jel file) yet. That one wouldn't let me chose a single mission, it returned to the main menu and gave me strobing mouse trails but pressing 'esc' restored normal ops. Hope to do more Tues...

A few shots from tests of Mr Jel's exe

Hi, I've flown Mr.Jel's exe from the ConCode Mix (Jel's exe , not Jel's mix forthese). I think the gun convergence is great on the Hurricane I. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa132/kemmell/12MAINSCREEN.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa132/kemmell/SELECTION.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com...
