Hi Jonny, yup, the 'playintro' entry activates/deactivates the smacker videos I think, so that would seem to suggest that at the end of the successful campaign there is a call to a video... setting play intro to 0 means it wont be played... glad you got it sorted and are enjoying the game...

Hi Jonny, well it sounds as if the hall of fame screen hasn't been resized to the new standard size of 1024x768. Just to check, are you saying this problem you are having was in your original 1.2 game too ? or is it only in the 1.28 series of exes ? the other possible problem is with the...

We have this flying over on Gameranger, early evenings GMT if anyone wants to come and join us... great fun, thanks VonOben :) cheers, Pobs

Kevin, You bought a computer that doesn't support EAW ?????...... why would anyone do that ???????.. OK so I may be a little bit obsessive.. I can recognise that, after all that therapy.... :):)... I can wait until you get bored with your new machine and come back into the fold...

not persuaded huh ?.... OK let me try you with some pacific screenies, see if I can get you with those.... :) Corsair patrols battleship row, Pearl harbour... Midway Island... Searching for the flattops... I think I must be getting close ...

Hi Knegel, good to see you here mate :), the new 'supersize me' battles are great fun, at last the feeling of approaching a major bomber formation comes true ... and flying an He 111 in BOB can be a little worrying too : cheers, Pobs

Hi Wheels, as far as I know the only problem for systems that dont get the 7217 in single mission mode is with the target selection map, which is a pain but can be got over.... and the briefing screen in campaign mode, which is still scrambled but an be got through by right mouse clicking and...

Hi, I used to work with an old 'royal engineer' when I was starting out after college and after a week or two he started calling me Pobhead... when I asked him why, he said that 'Pobs' was a mixture of white bread and warm milk eaten by invalids and kids.... in his opinion it was white...

Hi Wheelsup, we hate to see old hands leave the old girl but the 7217 problem with the 8 bit screens has been a big problem. I would just suggest that you might like to try the old girl upgraded to the new exe to see if you still have the problem. I also have il-2 and Bob2 on my machine but...

Sorry for the delay getting back to you on this one guys, the latest exe (1.28b) just released over on SimHQ has a partial fix for the 7217 error with some Geforce cards but without rewriting the whole 8bit front end of the game we cant yet guarantee that it will run for everyone. The coders...

Here is the P47 taxiing ingame... cheers, Pobs

Hi Venganza, hope you enjoy it mate, if you are a spanish speaker we are still looking for someone to translate the briefing speech into spanish ( hint hint)...:) bombing railyards.. and harbours... or just sitting on the parapet of your trench looking down into the Ebro...

definite hit from the bargain bin has to be 'European Air War', a ten year old sim from Microprose that still has an active modding community and is being upgraded all the time, it has thousands of mods available from 'Sandbaggers repository' EAW - Tally Ho and is still alive online...
