I am thinking of getting Windows 7 and wanted to know if anyone is using it with ROF and how it works. I have a good solid xp install but the grass is always greener.

I have Windows 7 64 bit and it works OK, but.

The mouse wheel doesn't zoom the map. I checked the Input section to see if I could reassign or reset it, but I couldn't find the selection.

Win 7 64 Professional and no problems so far. But I only played a few hours yet.

I have win 7 premium 64bit and so far it runs excellent. I had a marked improvement in performance, coming from win xp 32b bit. I'm not sure if it's because of the new graphics drivers, direct x11, better cpu/memory handling (I have a quadcore) because of win7.

No issues here with Win 7 Professional 64-bit. Runs fine. This was the upgrade version from Vista.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Clean install on SSD drive with the only apps installed being RoF, TrackIR, Teamspeak and FRAPS.

It literally flies.

Sorry, how are the SSD these days? reliable, expensive?

Yes,,,anyone running solid state drives and do they improve gaming any?

They improve load times tremendously. RoF missions in 10-15 seconds, tops.

They are very reliable when set up properly (correctly aligned and with minimized number of random writes).

Thorough guides are available online.



Currently using this one myself:

Excellent value for money.



As an aside, would anyone be interested if I wrote a short Buyer's Guide for people wanting to upgrade their hardware for RoF?

I can offer some modest yet sensible advice for simmers on a small, mid-range or large(r) budget.

Please do!

I got a boost going from Vista 32 to Win7 64; probably because the RAM is being fully used.
