Aircraft performance fall off with Win 7? last call for explanation

[ElAurens]

Guys, I think Pugo3 is comparing V4.07 with V4.10.1, yes there will be a rather pronounced change in the way that aircraft behave if that is the case.

Pugo, on the deck dogfighting a Ki 43 with a much heavier Corsair is a formula for failure.

That's what I thought too, but he also says this: "Being that I noticed the drop off early on while in the familiar 4.07,..."

It's definitely odd, especially when he mentions that it also affects another flight sim on his computer.

Pugo, there was a recent thread here by Horseback with acceleration charts, see if you can replicate some of his results or if you really are 10-15% slower. It won't change your perception of the aircraft feeling worse than before, but at least you'll know you don't have a real disadvantage.

Thank you, I will be reloading my Win 7 Prof and all software next week, so I will try this as soon as I'm up & running.

Actually, I made my comparisons with 4.07 on both machines, as it was some time before I jumped to 4.10.1.

It was a learned process, mostly not panicing after getting nailed many times, but you can use those beautiful flaps as you begin a low to medium speed dogfight with a Ki-43, along with the throttle inputs to pull you through. It would most often be a series of roll over/under, canopy rolls, rolling siccisors with sprial towers. You could look for an opportunity and gun the trottle to get the H... out of there if things began to look bleak, then come back in for another go. It is this particular dogfight I most lament losing in the performance difference between computers. [I did mention that the AI are not as agressive and nuanced either, somewhat lackluster and not nearly as aggressive and challenging] Perhpas with Win8 in my coming desktop - I can hope...
