Windows Update

[dave curtis]

Thanks.   
Did not result in many pages of tales of woe,  so that seems good anyway!

Possibly a little reckless, but I've just had to perform a clean-install of 7  (& got most things kind of working again)...
But as it's all still fresh,  maybe I'll go all-in & move to Win10...

Cheers,
Dave.

I'm on Windows 10 and I've not had any big problems. The only issue I did have was connecting up my Thrustmaster T300RS Wheel and Thrustmaster TH8A shifter.

Neither are recognised properly when plugged into a USB3 (blue) port. They are only recognised correctly when plugged into a USB2 (black) port. That has nothing to do with Windows 10, it is just that I installed a new SSD on which to install Windows 10 and as a consequence I unplugged everything.

One thing that is a bit of an issue with Windows 10 (and maybe earlier versions) is that it assigns the joysticks at boot-up and that can be a problem with separate wheels and shifter. Sometimes they get swapped around. I have wheel as Joy#1 and shifter as Joy#2. So if windows swaps them (and hence GPL asks me to assign controllers when it starts) I have to unplug and plug-in the shifter.

Thanks for your input too Phil.

Migrated to Win10 now. Initial problem with no sound,  but resolved after finding some other drivers for my SB Audigy 2.

Otherwise for a quick run around at GPL_Brasil,  all major parts seems ok.   iGOR worked  (sorry Bill!) & G25 wheel, G25 pedals via Bodnar & G27 shifter via another Bodnar adapter seem ok.  Prib also still functioning.

nvidia graphics adjustments look to have been carried over from tweaks to recent Win7 install,  as clocks are ramping up.

Minor issue with xpadder for chat messages/arm raising,  but no biggie - will look into that/alternatives.

Just need to give it a bit of a thrashing/shakedown test  (Mexico looks good this time of year  )

Cheers,
Dave.
