IL2 fully modded to AAA UI 1.2

Comparing between XP Pro x32 and Win 7 x64, I get a consistent 15% fps loss in Windows 7.

This is progress according to Microsoft. They run the inverse of Moore's Law. As computing power doubles, MS must bloat its OS code to run half as fast.

Clearly they are behind the curve as you are only seeing a 15% drop.

It's not really Microsoft in this case. I blame this on both ATI and Nvidia. I know because I can tell you first hand their 64 bit MotherBoard Drivers and Video Drivers are the root of the problem.

Test after test Windows 7 has shown that MS heard us and got rid of a lot of the bloatware you talk about.

For the most part Modern Games seem to run really well its just that the stability has gone down and I blame that on the OEMs and their drivers.

The only issue I had was with TS Display and TS Overlay. Neither would work with 64 bit and would tell me as much upon installation attempts. Another community member pointed me in the right direction though and now I have TS Overlay working flawlessly on my 64 bit OS install.

My new rig:

ASUS P6T Deluxe v2
Core i7 920 @ 3.8ghz
Thermalright TRUE copper HSF
6GB Corsair Dominator 1600mhz (running at 1523)
X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion
300GB VRaptor
500GB Seagate 32mb cache
Corsair 850w PSU

This thing straight up rocks.

please share how did you make TSO run in win7 64bit?
i can't make it work
thx, lz

Hi Thanks

i managed to find a simple solution and now have TSO working fine on 64bit win7.

as i had TSO installed on my other PC on win XP i went and just copied the whole TSO instalation folder into a USB Drive and copy paste into my Win7 C: Hard drive, just run the exe and it works perfect.

i assume it runs from the folder and doesn't even have any registry key as tiny progs often don't even mess with the registry.

if anyone need the TSO installed folder drop me an email to drorsdd@gmail.com and ill send you a copy.

Cheers, LZ
