Aircraft performance fall off with Win 7? last call for explanation

[Pugo3]

Thanks, I do not presently have XP available for such a comparison, but appreciate the suggestion.

As to joy stick calibration, I use the same CH Products joystick/rudder pedals as with my old set up [actually a warranty replacement-refurb of each type] with my Win 7. I never fussed much if at all with varying numerical values, just the standard CHP calibration.

Thank you, I use CH Products with my present Win 7 and with the older XP, left them pretty much alone as far as fine tuning the various numerical inputs available for such tuning - I just calibrated them within CH Products Control Manager.

Can you please inform me how I might be able to achieve greater power or somehow address the key complaint, that being apparent lower power problem I described? What settings are you reffering to that would effect max power - the unstable flight aspects I mentioned are only a result of this lack of top end power or acceleration when needed.

Thanks to all for the inputs,

I've noticed in another beta that there can be lots of interrupted functions and exceptions. IL-2 also manages to run when the screen is stuck. So there's a lot going on in the background even when nothing happens on screen. A few games lose functions on newer, faster hardware. So indeed it is possible that you now play a more complete game or even a gimped one.

My advice is to test for this by throttling down your CPU either in Win 7 settings, via BIOS or 3rd party software. It might be worth a try.

Thank you, please advise on how I might try this or perhaps a recommended software to use? Hopefully a simple first attempt as you mentioned by adjustments to the Win7 settings via BIOS - can you walk me through or direct me to a posting/forum, etc?
