[nzwilliam]

I have the same problem with both. What I do is let
the game load completely, then right click the mouse
when the task bar disappears, then I hit the window
key, once the game goes to desktop, I then click on
the IL-2 in the task bar and the game gose to full
screen, after that every thing works ok.

Yip, I do the same here, although occasionally I find I have to go back and forward between IL2 and desktop again if it doesn't do it the first time.
