Hi there!

And welcome to our mostly happy, but crazy world!


Yhis link will help you find most of the new HR skins and ground objects.

Col Gibbon's link is THE place to go for Hires stuff.

There are several Beginner's install guides which outline the basics for a nice install.

http://www.xmission.com/~mmagleby/eaw/ Max 188's site - see the classic EAW guide.

http://vonoben.free.fr/ von Oben's - check the tutorials section. Be sure to get the
Realistic hills file in the Misc. section.

That should keep you busy for a while!

Thanks for the links, just d/l a bunch of stuff to restart my EAW career. Loved the sim when it came out, but haven't flown this for years. WOW!, what a difference you all have done. Great looking stuff.

Since I am on vacation for the next week and a half, I will install all these mods and give it a go.

Thanks for the info.

Welcome back guys:

My must have list looks like this below. but such things are a matter of taste. Best you collect things you like and put them all into one folder. So you can easily create new EAW installs for other campaigns for instance. An absolute must have are the new exe files (by me )

I forgot: the links to all add ons listed below can be found on Sandbaggers EAW LInks page. Simply check any of Sandbaggers post and have a look to his signature to find the link.
