Wings of Dawn file

Installation instructions:

• Unpack Wings of Dawn RE.rar anywhere you want. It is a standalone game.
• Start the launcher and make sure it is pointed towards Fs2_open_Wings_of_Dawn-EX17-SSE2.exe
• Check the custom flags for the resolution and other graphical settings.
• That's it, enjoy Wings of Dawn!

Additional notes of importance:

• If you are on windows 10, the launcher may throw up an error about being unable to find the graphics adapter. Setting the launcher to run in windows 7 compatibility mode will solve this issue.
• The launcher will default with the -res 1920x1080 flag. Changing the resolution in the video tab will do nothing if the -res flag has been set. If you want to set a different resolution, change the -res flag in the features tab instead.
• Shadows and deferred lighting are enabled by default. If you're running on older hardware, it is recommended to disable shadows. If framerate is still poor after that, disable deferred lighting. These are two main culprits for poor performance. Additional flags you can try disabling to improve frame rate are Framebuffer Thrusters and Lightshafts.
• If you still have the old Episode 1 release installed, it is safe to uninstall it. Do not install the new Episode 1 & 2 release in the old Episode 1 folder, they are not compatible.
