EAW V1.* C modified exe files 
                  4th release (28.11.2003)
========================================== by Andy === 

Hi,
you just downloaded the newest (inofficial) modification of the executable of the flight sim 'European Air War'.

You can get this modification for the 2 exe-versions that are mainly used:


V1.1P (Paulo's version)
V1.2  (original english release)

I called these new modifications 'C'-Versions, since 'A' and 'B' have already been used. To avoid confusion I kept additional old letters, so my new modification of the V1.1P is called V1.1PC. 
The 4th release gets even one more letter, so I called it C4 to avoid confusion with older releases since it obviously does not work on all computers. 



Installation:
=============

Install EAW as usual, patch it to V1.2.
Unzip the zip file and put the new exe to your EAW directory. Run this new exe instead of the old one.

These exe files can be used with ANY EAW installation, except an add-on package brings it's own exe-files (as my BoB campaign for instance). So it can be used with any campaign or even with stock EAW.

If you recognize some strange behaviour of EAW while using this exe version it might help to rename it to 'eaw.exe'. But please make a backup copy of your original 'eaw.exe' before renaming the new version.



Additions in the 4th release:
=============================

* New feature of the C4 version is the garbled cockpit fix. Although it seems to work for many users I cannot guarantee for it. Just try it and you will see. If EAW crashes you are one of these unlucky guys. Sorry for that in advance. 
Also it does not turn off the garbled cockpits completely. It just offers more texture memory to the game. So you can use more high resolution objects before the garbled cockpits (re)appear.
* for all the other features of the C-Versions have a look to the History section below.



Acknowledgements:
=================

My thanks go to Chris Coons for offering all this knowledge on the exe file. Without his advice and help this modification would not have been possible. Further thanks go to Mr. 'von Beerhofen' & 'Col. Gibbon' who had the ideas that led to the garbled cockpit fix.

Cheers,
Andy

History:
========

new in the 3rd release:
=======================

The exes now include the no CD fix. That means these exes can be used without having the EAW CD in the CD-drive. This only works with a FULL EAW install AND the additional changes described below. But you can also use them normally. Don't do the ini-file-changes when you don't have a full install of EAW.


new in previous releases:
=========================

* the german AI now always uses their cannons :o) (That's why V1.2A is obsolete now)
* some ground targets are made tougher to destroy, especially trucks, tanks and small buildings. All these can still be destroyed by gun-fire but you will need much more hits now.
* the viewing distances of some ground targets are slightly increased.



European Air War NO CD fix
--------------------------

1. Install EAW (MUST be full install).
2. Apply EAW patch
3. Run EAW once & exit
4. Edit EAW.INI:

5. Copy the exe from this download to your EAW dir and use it instead of the old one.
