Two suggestions, rather naive ones, but I'm no Woz and that's a fact.
First, which is probably not going to work, try compatibility settings. Perhaps Vista is the problem. Right click Il-2 exe, compatibility, and try for Win 98, or 2000, etc.
The other thing, which might actually be it, is that you have a quad core processor which Il-2 is not designed to support. I did a quick check on Google and found the following thread:
QUOTE:
Multi Core CPU Tweak for IL2
I got an e-mail from a friend of mine regarding a multi-core CPU fix. Has anyone heard of this for multi-core CPU's:
Ken,
Do you know about this "processaffinitymask" thing?
go into your conf.in, look for the RTS section. Find:
";processaffinitymask=0"
change it to:
"processaffinitymask=3"
both without the quotes, second one with the semi-colen removed.
What this does is changes the way the game runs from one to two processors.
Check it out!
UNQUOTE
Removing the semicolon just before process affinity mask seems to be highly important to make Il-2 work with multi-core processors. I don't know what the 3 does. Should have researched this more carefully before responding. But there's something to try. If I come up with more, I'll let you know.
