Hi,
I am coming at this in effect as complete beginner, ( I have run this many years ago but with all new PC and having been out of the loop for years, I am starting over by googling how to install Battle of Britain Wings of Victory II. To see how beginners would cope.
We need to be sure a beginner can see exactly what to do.
Sometimes those flying sims overlook that there should be a very visible beginners how to get started in this sim sticky as I forever find myself reading many threads and gradually piecing together whats what and the do's and donts, options available etc.
All I read of is how to install the latest patch.
Surely it all starts with trying to get the purchased program onto an operating system it wasn't originally designed for.
I dont want to screw up my PC.
Could someone talk me (and this will be of use to all beginners) through what I should be doing for a Windows 7 64 bit Pro operating system. Also tell us about OS's that wont run it, if any, and what to do for those that will. Links maybe to different OS threads.
I have an Nvidia GTX 970 video card which flies CoD all goodies at max.
Saitek X45
HOTAS .
Saitek pedals.
Both are calibrated and fly CoD.
I have managed to find my CD BoB WoV II Limited Edition , came with a DvD.
Is this still ok or must one purchase a newer version ?
Are there manufacturers patches to apply before applying BDG updates ?
Then How to get bang up to date with whats available, what to install, and in what order.
Links to stuff most welcome.
Maybe this thread could be a sticky for complete beginners.
Cheers
BOBC
