<r> Hi All, looking at getting back into the game.<br/>
Just had a time getting the window frame to work out with resolution. <br/>
Issue was that I had my display set to 125% (hard to see small writing) <E>:P</E><br/>
Potential tip for other people, will just have to remember to change display ...

Thanks. I uninstalled everything; then reinstalled all from the initial base game.

Game runs. Need to see what are the best switches for my machine, going through this now.

[:)]

Thanks, I understand my issue with the switches.

Still getting the PW data error. I downloaded the update from the forum and copied the file from Beta2 into the main directory. No change with the error.

Suggestions?

<t> I'm a returning player from many years ago. Downloaded the game and I'm pretty sure I am not doing the switches correctly. Also I'm getting the can't find PW data (tried searching for beta2 folder and it is not on my machine).<br/>
<br/>
My autorun.inf in notepad looks like this:<br/>
<br ...

1600 x 1080 looks pretty good; I think I'll stay with this.

<t> Ok, I'm in business after looking up some of the previous threads. [:)]<br/>
<br/>
I'm running in 1920 x 1080; the large map is great. However,is there anyway to make the information boxes bigger so my aging eyes can read them easier? Or is the answer to go back to the smaller display if I ...

Ok, I've got the update installed and can access my old save games.

Now trying to look at the switches.?

<t> I've decided to get back into WIPAE, and have installed it on my new windows 8 machine.<br/>
<br/>
However, I can't get the updates to work. I get an error trying to download a FTP file. Any suggestions.<br/>
<br/>
Also, can someone direct me to the correct link for the screen size settings ...

A long time ago there was a tongue in cheek article in the Avalon Hill General about a board game covering the entire war in Europe. As I recall it was intriguing at the same time hard to imagine.

<t> I took a look at UV years ago and decided I prefered the user interface with WitP. I've enjoyed WitP for a couple of years until AE came out. Now find this more enjoyable.<br/>
<br/>
I would just go for it with AE. You can start with a smaller scenario as suggested to get the hand of the ...

very old thread but what the heck,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; US ex-pat living in Toronto age 48

Good News & Good Job to all who worked for a long time.&nbsp; It sounds like the information took a long time to run down.
&nbsp;

Galactic news service is a very good idea.&nbsp; I routinely check the diplomacy screen just to see who is at war and when other factions change their stance to each other.&nbsp;

<t> I switched to AE very soon after it came out.&nbsp; I only play as Allies against the AI.&nbsp; I found the AI in AE to be better and more challenging.&nbsp; I'm in a similar situation with time to spend on the game.&nbsp; I also like the additional details that have been added to the game.&nbsp ...

<t> I play as Allies against the AI Japanese.&nbsp;&nbsp; When I started I didn't worry about every detail.&nbsp; For example&nbsp;I am into the summer of '43 in my GC and have really not focused on the Pilot Training.&nbsp; Playing against the AI is easier and allows for some inefficient handling ...

I'm playing DW & WitP AE.&nbsp; Right now I need to finish up my Canadian & US tax forms.&nbsp; So everything is on the back burner for a few days.

<t> Personnel, leaders&nbsp;& experience was my main vote.&nbsp; In WitP-AE Matrix has leaders, pilots with different ratings.&nbsp; Also the ability to train pilots.&nbsp; <br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
A squadron of torpedo bombers with experienced pilots is far more deadly then unexperienced pilots.</t>

This is nudging me closer to getting the expansion as well.&nbsp; I have enjoyed DW and would like to see the improvements in the UI.&nbsp; I spend my time with WitP-AE and this game.

<t> Ok, I have to mention this.&nbsp; We are US ex-pats living in Toronto.&nbsp; My son came home from school several years ago stating that his teacher said the Japanese attacked the US because the US had war plans (orange) against the Japanese. <br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I nearly blew a gasket.&nbsp; I ...

thanks
