Ok, Not sure why, but I have to remap my controllers. No biggie. It may be because it's a multiple controller setup...ie FighterStick and Throttle buttons are interchanged...again, it let's me reassign, so more of an annoyance than anything. Another note...sometimes, windows pauses for a long time with no message...I don't mean just in normal use. Mostly, I think it is running something for the first time...but it scares you every once in awhile because you think it's hung up, but it does come back eventually. Like when I ran SF2 for the first time, it sat there on the InitScreen forever...longer than anytime before in Win7. I just waited it out. If you have any system cleaners/optimizers - like WiseCare or Cleanup4.0....takes a long long time...Maybe, I shouldn't use them in Win10...but WiseCare reported the performance at 1 when I first ran it. Now it is back to 10...so some getting used to...but all is well so far. My first impression. Pretty good so far with SF2 and accessories (CH hardware, TrackIR 5). Some getting used to (hunt for things in different places - but more intuitive than Win7 and Night and Day from Win8). Overall, I am happy with Win10. Win10 looks like an Android phone on steroids. The panels are still annoying, but better (from a Win7 user point of view). Still Testing... =V= Note: Cortana is the MS Mata Hara...you activate her and she will spy on you for MS...lol...but nothing different from the phone version. She will report to MS where you are, what you're doing and what you ever did - all in the name to make "your" experience better. So up to you. For now, she is off...

NVidia is fixed...Downloaded the latest driver/package. Tried to install it. It failed saying the current driver/package was already installed. Tried to uninstall NVidia, will not uninstall. Killed all NVidia services in task manager. Ok, now I can uninstalled all the NVidia software. Rebooted and reinstalled the new driver and set up surround display. All 3 monitors are working now. Another weird fluke...all my controller buttons changed? Hmmm...Have to remap my CH Fighter Stick, Throttle and Pedal? Will do that later. I was able to fly SF2...Albeit with screwed up controls. So far still good. =V=

Ok! Windows 10 install completed. So far, I am impressed. I like the interface. A lot cleaner. I liked Windows 7, but always thought Aero was a waste of PC resources. No loss there for me. Hmmm...Now my PC looks like my Android phone on steroids? Also, programs are called "Apps" now? LOL...another Apple legacy... 1st and only casualty so far - NVidia Surround Screen. I knew there were problems with this going in. So I am down to 1 monitor now and it was expected. But I can live with that. I am fully confident that NVidia will release a patch if they haven't already. Everything else I checked looks good...TrackIR and SF2 both started fine (the important stuff). I will check out the PC over the weekend to see what else falls out... =V= PS!!!! During post install setup - DON'T TAKE THE EXPRESS SETUP!!! Do the custom so you can shut off ALL the Microsoft Spyware. I just turned them all off - including SmartFliter!!!

Ok, I'm in...Downloading Windows 10 now...It may help if we listed our rig configs...Here is mine...will let you know what happens... Windows 7x64bit Cougar Solution Case MSI Z87-G43 Gaming Intel Z87 Board Intel® Core™ i7-4771 w/ Hyper 212 EVO Push/Pull Fans Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x 4GB) MSI NVidia GeForce GTX 760 2GB (OC) 2x500GB 7400RPM WD Black Label HDs 2xDVD LightScribe Drives 1xSony Blu-Ray Player Air Cooled with 4xCase Fans (1x140m and 3x120m) Wish me luck! =V=

Downloading now!!! THANKS!!!!

Good stuff! Keep em coming! Thanks

Thanks Gat, come back and let me know what you think of them... =V=

Thanks D...let me know, I am thinking about upgrading so I would appreciate the heads-up... If anyone else has experience with Windows 10 and other Sims, please post your experiences here...would appreciate it... =V=

File Name: StrikeFighter2 World War II ETO Hi-Res Alternate 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music! File Submitter: viper63a File Submitted: 29 July 2015 File Category: Menus StrikeFighter2 World War II ETO Hi-Res Alternate 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music! By Viper I recently downloaded the "All inclusive SF2 European Theater of Operations" (ETO) package from the A-Team site. Excellent package, but the menus were not to my liking...soooo...I upgraded them. These menu screens are tailored for that package, but it should work for any SF2 game with a European WWII theme! Note: These are new Menu Screens for the A-Team ETO Package - NOT THE A-TEAM ETO PACKAGE. If you want the SF2 European Theater of Operations package, you will have to download it from the A-Team site. A little tricky getting registered, but I recommend it! You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better. If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up (make a copy of) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup. To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. To remove, simply delete the FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and rename the copies you made to FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders. My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit would be something like... C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\<Name of your ETO mod folder>\ Enjoy! PS. Check out my Init Screen mod in the "InitScreen Extra" folder... Click here to download this file

Very Nice!

A-Team was worth the wait! Got on and finally downloaded ETO and SR71!! Excellent! Rules take some getting used to...Think I got 1 strike on me....LOL...trying to be careful....
