I'm not sure what you mean by "mod installations might be incorrect or you might need to discover the correct mod activation combination."
Do you mean I should reinstall and reinstall everything?
I'm currently getting a computer upgrade built, I was asked if I wanted Win XP or Win 7, I have Win 7 on my laptop right now and I like it so I said Win7.
There are only a few games I play at all, 2 of them are online and take most of my gaming time, IL2 and Project Reality "PRBF2." If IL2 is going to take up a big chunk of my gaming time, and all other games run fine with XP, should I stick with XP.
Offline IL2 is pretty much the only game I play.
T.A. Sharps,
Win 7 is fine for IL-2 after you work around a few issues.
Install IL-2 outside Program Files. There really should be no need for drastic changes with IL-2 outside Programs Files. If IL-2 is in Program Files, then the user can simply move it rather than reinstall everything.
Along these lines, I almost always have the IL-2 folder as a major folder in the disk which my operating system uses. Next to IL-2, can be Windows, AppData, and so forth. It actually improves the performance of IL-2 a tiny amount to have the file path as short as possible compared to a long file path. The main issue is to avoid Program Files for IL-2.
