Welcome to 'The Starting Gate', a site dedicated to helping those new, or old, to the setting up and enjoyment of the flight simulator 'European Air War, originally created by Microprose.

The intention of these pages is to inform and help guide you through the basic steps for getting your EAW up and running, without to many hassles. Many modifications and enhancements have been made to EAW since it's first release a number of years ago. Since then, many have found it difficult to 'keep up' with the various mods and updates, particularly regarding the installation of these patches.

So, just click on the applicable link below to find the information you require. If you know of any errors or out-of-date information on these pages, please E-mail me from the link on the 'Site Home' link below and I will get the information updated.

Good luck and 'fly high'.
