Guys I would like to do a new install OS and WoFF. I use this boot only for WoF, MAW & IL2-1946. No access to internet is needed [after downloading all of the drivers]. As usually the OS will be bare bones, everything not needed will be removed/disabled, no virusscan/firewall only what is needed for the game. See also BlackViper.com on what I always do on OS tweaking. Yep it will be a clean system with no interference of a taskmanager, virus alert or no needed processes. Every drop is going to the game related processes.

I considering 4 choices, yeh Vista is not included.
XP-64
Win7-64
Win8.1-64
Win10-64


I know from my own experience the XP can be limited to only a few running services, with Win7 as a sample this is more of a problem. The drivers are mostly not the last ones from 2015, but I think in case of WoFF this should never be the problem. Btw can XP run on a SSD or is this just waste.

I'm running
i5-2500k
HD7970
8Gb ram
MS-FF2
Track IR5
Simpet
Dell 2560x1440
OS Win7-64
Hd 100Gb is now reserved for WoFF

What is your advice, why and what is your experience?????

Personally I'd go with Windows 7 here as I think it's gonna be a good balance between being relatively modern but doesn't expect to be always online the same way as say Windows 10 kind of does.

I got Windows 8.1 (64bit) for free and use it. WOFF is running fine with it.
But I would prefer Windows 7 (64bit) - that system was just easier to handle IMHO.

Out of curiosity does WOFF run/run well in 1440p resolution?

Yes, if your GPU can handle it. I play WOFF on a 2560 x 1440 Asus G-sync monitor with a GTX 980 Ti video card and it is really beautiful to behold.


CPU = i9 11900K
GPU = RTX 3080 Ti
Monitor = ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQX 2160p G-sync
