There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

It must be a 64 bit issue. I have dual boot system; XP and WIN7 both under 32 bit. I have all of my flight sims in their own folder on the root C:.
I have ownership of the folders and run as administrator. WIN7 has some querks, but for the most part runs fine in flight. I have found that I have to shut down background programs to get things running the way they should run though. I shut down everything but my antivirus and firewall that I am able to close. My FPS run about 50-65 until I get into some major scenery challenges with lots of ships and aircraft. "Cover the invasion forces" of Rami and my Tuskegee Airmen is one that really tanks FPS in WIN7. I have to reboot into XP to work on any mission files because WIN7 has some querks in them even with me running as owner and administrator.
I am running AMD 2.4GIG CPU, 4GIGs RAM, 1GIG nVidia 9800GTS, 7200RPM SATA HDs. Of course with 32 bit I am only running 3.33GIGs of RAM.
I seldom run CFS2 on my laptop any more. It is also dual boot separate HDs; XP 32 bit and WIN7 64bit, 4GIGs RAM, 512 Radeon 1260 ATI onboard Vid, 5400 RPM (XP) & 7200RPM (WIN7) HDs. The onboard vid card is just too impotent to run CFS2 above medium to low settings.
