What's NEW in EECH 1.16.0?Features- Now using Direct3D9!
- Single file installer - upgrade stock game in one step
- Using OpenAL-Soft for sound system by default
- WAV sounds instead of PCM
- Multiplayer system minor improvements and fixes
- Joystic axis state indication at Controls page
- Infantry patrols and more complicated insertion missions
- New way of stealth factor calculation for helicopters
- Airfields mod (WIP, by Soczkien)
- Jets Replace mod v1.0 (by Soczkien), Su-34 Fullback presented as Multy-role Fighter
- New Skins for Russian helicopters mod (WIP, by ignarik)
- New US helicopters skins mod (WIP, by rapota)
- New High Detailed Trees mod v1.2 (by Soczkien)
- New Sea Water mod (by Soczkien)
- New Winter Terrain textures (by Soczkien)
Bug fixes- Helicopter overspeed issues
- Pilot static hand visibility problems in wideview mode
- Helicopters has wrong heading angle relative to HESCO barriers
- Russian translation and fonts issues
Installation guide- install EECH (from the EECH|CD or GOG installer)
-= you can update only vanilla EECH, do not use modded version of the game =- - download and install eech-allmods-1.16.0FIX1-installer (release date 5 march 2016)
(Mirror1 ) - you can copy your players.bin/players2.bin/playersv.bin files from the previous installation to save your pilot progress
- launch the game
- From now DDS textures loading algorithm is changed - no need to flip texture during save. It's recommended to convert all textures to TGA, or flip your DDS images vertically. Currently all textures of the game itself and included mods was converted to TGA, so some old mods that uses DDS textures became incompatible. - Troops models can be placed in the helicopter scene - just make subobjects with label TROOPS_ONBOARD, they will be visible between Troops Instertion mission start and Insertion waypoint reach (there is no any animation yet). - Skins feature was added - you can get additionl information HERE - Collision object can be applied to the forest trees, LOS check will be affected (include radar detection as side effect) same as weapon and player dynamics calculations. - SPRITE_LIGHT texture now using for sprite lights rendering ("cohokum\graphics\textures\animation" folder). it can be replaced with any other but it has to be desaturated (BW), otherwise light color will be distorted.

Hi Guys,
Many thanks for all the work put in to this release.
Unfortunately I'm the first to have a problem.
After a clean install from GOG download the game runs fine. I downloaded the 1.16.0 update (twice) and ran it (accepting the default options). All went well.
Ran the game and I get a black screen, nothing else. I don't get the normal loading screen.
If I ctrl+alt+del and run the task manager the eech options screen shows and I can exit from the game.
I have tried deleting the eech.ini and game.cfg files but this has not made any difference.
I have OpenAL installed.
My system is:
Intel I7 2600 running at 3.4Ghz
12Gb memory
Nvidea Quadro FX370 graphics card
Realtek on motherboard sound
Running Windows 7 64 bit.
Cheers,
Andy

so in some way you can get to the game screen? maybe you shall try to run game in window mode (fs=0 in eech.ini). do you have only one monitor connected to the system?
if it's not help - run DEBUG.EXE (you will have same black screen), wait for a while and close process. DEBUG.LOG file will appear in the game folder, show me it's content and maybe something interesting will be there

Hi Thealx,
Thanks for the quick response.
I actually have two monitors attached. The second one is black with a small window to the desktop on it.
I'll try your suggestion tonight and get back to you.
Cheers,
Andy

Wow! EECH brings back lots and lots and lots of memories! I was a helo head for a good few years because of EECH.
Please allow me a few questions --
1. Does it allow multiple-monitors or big resolutions? Mine would be 5896x1080.
2. Can I export MFD images? I'm hoping to find a way for this to work with Helios.... that would be so cool!
3. How is multiplayer support?
4. Screenshots? Videos?

EEAH is not needed anymore? you will have no instrument needles in Mi-28 cockpit without EEAH installed. Tried Yesterday, helicopter shacking and bumping on the helipad so impossible to take off, anyway thank you. I'm afraid you are not only one who have such troubles. I will make some changes in suspension code and maybe will ask you to check it, I have no this issue and just can't test it by myself. I already have the previous releases installed that changed my clean install of 1.15 to 1.16.
Now I have to install everything again from the disc? It's recommended, but you always can try to update 1.16.0RC version. If something will be wrong after update - I'm afraid best option will clean install. don't forget to save player data before reinstall. Please allow me a few questions --
1. Does it allow multiple-monitors or big resolutions? Mine would be 5896x1080.
2. Can I export MFD images? I'm hoping to find a way for this to work with Helios.... that would be so cool!
3. How is multiplayer support?
4. Screenshots? Videos?
1. as Firebird said here - it can, but I'm not familiar with rendering system improvements so can't say for sure. 2. MFD export is supported, but compatibly problems with your display can happen. 3. MP mode is playable, but unfortunately there are was no wide tests of it. due to old MP system clients will have some uncomfortable limitations - like weapon launch delay. in local network it's barely noticeable, but in world wide it can be worse. masterserver is working - you can turn it on so other players can connect to your game. but, Airfields mod is broking compatibly so both server and client should have it, or should not have. I hope this great mod will be ready to next minor update and it will be included by default. 4. I'm sorry, have no time for that. maybe later.

Can you past here your system configuration? drivers version, operation system etc.
-No Aeyes textures apache cockpit.
We agreed that this mod will be included only if it's will be necessary. later it will be included in updates, related to cockpit improvements.
-No new lights in external model apache.
looks like I missed it. can you post a link were it was shared?
-Apache have no power? I cant fly upwards or very slowly.
maybe you did set new joystic axis - Engines throttle, so you are flying with engines in idle mode.
in joystick menu all letters in my language are artifact.
are you using some modified translation files?
