I just put a 9800gtx+ in my pc to replace the 560ti 2gb for testing.

I left the settings in the NV panel the same, and lowered the CloD graphics gui.

Input lag is very noticeable and deflection shooting almost impossible.

Perhaps somethings wrong on your PC regarding this area ?

All my other sims I have no input lag. Il2 cliffs of dover I have.
You seriously think it's my pc thats the problem?
Common logic should tell that il2 cliffs of dover is the problem.
I did post my specs back to some that PM'ed me, many from forums and some of the developers. All the tips you wrote here they suggested aswell + more. Nothing helped.
The problem was also with two other computer I own. All three computers have different specs. Some have nvidia, other have amd, one has a combi of i7 processor and amd card the other i7 with nvidia card and so on.
I work with IT so I can clearly say: it's not the computers.
And I think that all have issues with the input delay, some just doesn't notice it.
Do a test: Look down in the cockpit and look at the joystick there. Then look at your own joystick. Move it very fast left and right and you will clearly see that the in-game joystick moves a tad after your joystick.
It's like the pilot in game tries to mimic your movements as fast as he can. And it is horrible to play like this! My movements should be immediately input in the game, not 0,1 seconds after, not 0,2, not 0,5...but at the same time.
Do a video of it and convince me that you have no input lag, then I believe you.
Some friends of mine have il2 cliffs of dover too and I asked them if they had input lag. They said no. I went over to them and tested their game...and guess what...they had input lag. about 0,5 second! but they didn't notice it!
But when i showed them and explained they realised it.

Look dude you can be set in your convictions if you want but of all the concrete problems this game has-oh and there are a freakin huge bunch of them-inpt lag isnt one of them.
If it was there would have been an uproar about it.
Now with my hardware (i7@4.5/GTX580/16gigs yadayadayada) theres no lag but the animation is choppy.
Further if I want to change the sensitivity I can, via the sensitivity settings at will.

Also, just in case you missed it:
The people here have demonstrated that they are the most discerning and complaint prone customer base in the gaming world. Something like that would go over like a lead balloon.

Re:
 

The input lag is on all of my three computers that are very different in therms of hardware. I have a Saitek X 52 joystick. No other input lag on my other sims.
The first video is like what I experience:

Lot of people have this issue. And like I said, those two friends of mine who has it didn't even notice it until I showed it to them.

Looking at your first video I can understand your frustration.

I did a check with my set-up and I have no delay at all (MSFFB stick). There was a tiny dead zone around the center position, but that was easily removed with the sensitivity controls.

I notice that your video was uploaded in January. Have you actually tested with the latest official up-date?

Do the control surfaces themselves respond with lag or is it just the control column graphic?

the control surfaces lag too.....see the latter part of his video.

Sorry, I missed that.

EDIT: I just found this:

Have you tried turning off Windows Aero?

I am assuming you tried what was suggested in the comments, turning off anthropomorphic?
And obviously deactivating aero?

If you have done the above then I would do what I call a uniform fix-it.

Uninstall and reinstall all drivers even if they work well. Make sure your windows is up to date. Then disable anthropomorphic and aero and try.
Then set all graphic options to their lowest, disable anything that can be disabled setting wise and see if you still have the problem.

Also post your hardware settings so we can compare apples with apples.
Will say my computer gives me instant feedback to all movements.
Point of interest do you have trackir?

Does anybody know what the status of hit decals is in the final patch? I don't seem to get any bullet holes now - and the ones that do appear seem to disappear soon thereafter...

Thanks
