Since i'm considering to switch to Windows 7, the opening of this forum feel perfect to ask.

1) Does the Cougar with all its software works well on W7?. I guees i have to use the windows vista drivers version.

2) I know IL-2 works under w7, what about Black Shark and F4 AF?

3) Does office 2003 works under w7?

4) Same question for Track IR 4.

Thats all for now smile

I personally checked a few of those for my transit to be done soon, so:

Cougar should
Black Shark too (but possible StarForce troubles), I heard about problems with F4:AF

TIR4 works from what I found. Thread here: http://forum.naturalpoint.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=38755&page=1


In general I think it's a pretty safe transition, especially past 22nd October when the official release forces more issues and more updates.

Thanks.

RSColonec, do you remember where you read about problems with F4 AF on W7? Cant find anything here using the search.

I had two problems with F4 AF. One was freezing (resolved by using D3D HAL instead of D3D TL + HAL). The other was Nvidia control panel not applying custom 3d settings to Falcon (resolved by first setting the global settings to what I wanted in Falcon; then create custom 3d settings for F4, run it, and set global settings back to whatever you want)

Everything else, including HiTiles ran fine.

I read about F4 supposed problems on a site that I found when looking for Mount & Blade compatibility. Obviously the site was mistaken since it works for Phoenix, sorry for posting false info.

Oh, and I'm also still on 2003 Office. Didn't want to bother learning "Ribbons" and I have a license from the company for free.

Yes, use the vista driver, and the Cougar is flawless on my machine.


2) I know IL-2 works under w7, what about Black Shark and F4 AF?

Black Shark is perfect, but I have been having a weird issue with F4AF that I think is unrelated to W7, but rather to the Aeyes 1920x1200 cockpits and the video driver. Most people are not having an issue with F4AF.


3) Does office 2003 works under w7?

Yes, no issues, but O2K7 works much better.


4) Same question for Track IR 4.

TrackIR 3, 4, and 5 are flawless.


Thats all for now smile

Phoenix, please detail your F4AF fixes. I am having a devil of a time with it.
