Hi. I have problem with the gunsight provided in the game. It is very faint and I can't barely see it. Is there a way of making it move visible? And also would like having the bullet tracers somewhat darker so they can be more visible. To anybody that answers, thank you very much.

It can be done in UAW160 which has a gunsight manager and a file for setting the colours of the tracers.

Hi. Than kyou for your input, but I have a possibly stupid question: What is UAU 160, where do I find it, and will it work with the GOG installation?
Thank you again

It will not work with the GoG installation, but the installations are "stand-alone" so you do not need a previous version of EAW.

The latest GoG installation is their version of EAW 1.2. It has just replaced their first version which was an erroneous release of EAW 1.28 which was compiled by the code-group and released as a free patch to EAW 1.2 under an agreement with Atari who owned the rights to EAW. It was released well over 10 years ago.
Since then the members of the code group have continually developed the game, and UAW160 is their latest version.

Check the EAW forum at SimHQ. There are download links in various posts there.

Thank you I've downloaded 2 files (I don't know which one is right for a GOG install), one is"reduced UAW 160 v.4, ant the other is UAW 160 multiplayer. So, what do I do now. install the file on the same directory of GOG EAW and overwrite files? Which one to install because I don't play online.
Sorry to be a bore but I really don't understand. One of the comments mentioned that it wouldn't work with the GOG install, but didn't make clear how to proceed.
Thank you again

Use the Reduced UAW160V4 and run it anywhere on your PC. It will create a stand-alone folder with the full installation in it..
The key to using it is the "PlaneSetExeTheatreSwitchV4.exe" program, but this may crash when you run it. It is written in Visual Basic. Many players who use the SimHQ forum have installed software over the years and as a result they have the Visual Basic runtime files installed on their PCs. As a new user you may not have them installed and that will cause the crash. Let me know what happens, and if need be I will post a link to the runtime files installer.
Hi I used the re4duced file and I ended up with a folder rather full of stuff, but I can't use any of the exes. Every one uf them. when loading, present a very washed out screen with blinking yellow text, and the mouse pointer isn't shown. I can hear the music but this is all.
I'm running Windows 7 home 32 bit, if this helps. Is there a way to fix the mess?
Thank you again
S.
