1) Get the MAW 1.2 files from the DOWNLOADS section.

2) Start with a fairly clean install of the MAW 1.10 game. If you been playing the game normally since installing 1.10 then you should be able to upgrade to 1.20 without any difficulty. If you've modified MAW in any way then start with a fresh install using the 1.10 instructions.

3) Launch the MAW game, setup a Quick Combat session and click Fly to start the session. You don't have to complete the session and can exit at any time.

4) EXTREMELY IMPORTANT : Before running the update installer, run the MAW Aircraft Resolution Swapper and select the "Default Resolution" button.

The Aircraft Resolution Swapper can be run by selecting the its icon in the CFS3 Mediterranean Air War item of the Start Menu:

One the swapper runs, click the "Default Resolution" button on the right side then close the swapper by clicking the red "X".

5) To make it easier to download, the 1.20 update installer has been broken into two parts. Before downloading the files, create a folder for them somewhere that's easily accessible on your computer.

6) Download both parts of the installer ( dr_cfs3maw_c1_v1.20u.exe & dr_cfs3maw_c1_v1.20u.D01 ) and place the files in the folder you created in the previous step.

7) Double-click the dr_cfs3maw_c1_v.120u.exe program to launch it then follow the installer's prompts.

8) When the installer Directory screen appears:

make sure you locate your current CFS3 Mediterranean Air War directory. The installation files need to be installed in your game folder which is usually:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\CFS3 Mediterranean Air War

but you may have installed your game somewhere else such as on a second hard drive (D:). The normal location is already selected by the utility. If your game is elsewhere, click the "..." button then browse to the correct game folder:

select the CFS3 Mediterranean Air War folder then click the OK button.

9) Continue to follow the installer's prompts until it exits. The upgrade is complete.
