I've posted about this else where but wanted to do it here so I can hopefully get things sorted sooner.

I'm having a hell of a time getting IL-2 to work. I've got most everything set up so I can fly now and went to test the game. It starts but the weird thing is I'm zoomed in on the upper left corner. I go to move the mouse and I see the cursor disappear. I alt tab out and back thinking this will fix the aspect ratio and it doesn't! So I decide to set it for my desktop resolution- 1600x1200. Start it up and same damn thing! Stuck up in the upper left corner and am zoomed in. Nothing I do will give me a full screen view or make the mouse work within it!

I've now done a fresh install and just testing it from the DVD without any patching causes the same problem to happen. I even started a game in Hyperlobby and launched from there and same thing. Looking at the preview from the icon on the task bar when I alt tab out shows me the entire game screen but when I click on the program to go back in I'm zoomed in on the upper left corner again and no mouse... I've already screamed and cried... running out of ideas here... I've tried various compatibility modes, running as admin, running in windowed mode, etc. and nothing changes this. I could really use some fresh ideas here as I'm supposed to have a campaign mission tonight with the squad... Thanks.

Are you running your system with the drivers for your graphics that win7 has decided to use or are you running drivers fron NVidea. It could be as simple as you needing to download the newest drivers for your graphics.

I'm not sure what Win7 would choose to use as I installed the latest WHQL released to date as one of the first things I did when it finished installing.

This happens if you are using Freetrack, or is you have TrackIR enabled in conf.ini and don't actually have TrackIR. Go to your conf.ini and look for entry:

[rts]
trackIRUse=1

and try changing it to =0

Well I do have it enabled as I have a TrackIR 4 and use it so I don't want to disable it.

Make sure Pan Views are enabled.
The default keypress for this is F9, which is also the default Hotkey for TIR enable, so you may have to change that in TIR first. Then hit NumPad 5 for Centre View. Does that fix it?

Well, I thought I'd test out your original theory that it was related to the trackir and disabled it in the Config.ini and it made no difference at all so I don't think the above will have any effect. Thanks for trying! Any other ideas?

I just figured it out!!!!!! Under compatibility I had to select the "disable display scaling on high DPI settings" and it fixed it fine!!! Didn't have to do this on the RC, though that computer has a 9800GTX+ in it with different drivers so that may be it or something that changed from the RC to the Gold version. Either way I'm now a happy man again. :lol: Ah, life is good again.
