I probably made a mistake by buying a new machine a while ago with Vista Premium on it. Rise of Flight works great on it. Is there a way to get IL2 to run well on Vista? I loaded it and much of it worked, but no sound and some erratic movement/frame action. Too erratic for me to endure.
Thanks.

I would strongly suspect you are having driver issues.

I've run IL-2 on XP Pro, XP Pro x64, and Win 7 x64. Aside from the installer quirks, it runs well on all of them.

Vista works perfectly for me. I even got my FF working.

I agree, the IL-2 series has been going strong for around ten years because it has no competition. I believe the SOW series will last even longer, because the game engine is built for longevity, and there is no competition on the horizon. Its unlikely to have much competition either, because of the years of commitment necessary to build such a complex product, with so little monetary gain.
