IL-2 Guide for Computers, Benchmarking, Optimizing, Tweaking

Yeah :!: We are making progress.

Windows Defender and Currently Running Programs Currently Running Programs is a powerful application of Windows Defender ( I found it in my Vista. ) This will show you programs that are starting after you log into your computer. It will also show you what major programs are currently in operation through your desktop. On occasion, it does reveal some suspicious programs.

Start Windows Defender. Click once on TOOLS. After that, look for Software Explorer application and click it. The Category should read Startup Programs. Click on the programs one at a time on the left, each time taking notice of the info on the box to the right. Anything that does not have a Publisher name or no Digital Signature is suspicous. If you do not know or trust it, then go to Programs and Features to uninstall it. If you or your computer operating system does not need it, then I recommend uninstalling it to improve IL-2 storage space and performance, also security.

Next click the Category to bring Currently Running Programs. Follow the same general instructions in the preceding paragraph. You can also, End Process at the bottom right or go to Task Manager/Performance/Resource Monitor to see what other stuff is using your CPU processing, adding more threads to compete against your IL-2 in the CPU. The goal is to use the different sources of information, combine what is needed, and take the correct action.

Note: With the nHancer program, the IL-2 threads will be opened in your CPU, as you will see in the coming posts. This is caused by Prerendered Frames being activated. With nHancer, the CPU becomes much more important than it would if you do not use nHancer. More on that later.

CAUTION: Do not to shut any OS (system) processes unless you are certain of them. The ones that have unfamiliar names or you don't understand the description-let them be. If you leave something installed but shut it down, then you can restart or open it later. Each time you reboot, those startup programs need to be closed again if you want to "stream-line" for IL-2. I shut down Parental Controls because I have no need for it. I leave some programs installed that I will use later, but shut them down if I don't need them-especially just before I start IL-2. 8)
