KS WC1 runs a little too fast in Win7

Hi everyone!

After losing my interest in WC (and space flight sims in general) about 10 years ago, it kind of "came back" now :)

And it's great to see that the WC CIC and the forum are still there after all these years!

So some days ago, I installed KS again, starting with WC1... runs quite well on Win7 after adding ddhack... but unfortunately, it runs a litte fast... not so fast that its' completely unplayable, but in time critical missions (transporter escort etc.), it makes it impossible to protect the transport because it's destroyed too quick.

Did anyone of you play WC1 from KS on a modern machine without using DOSBOX?
Does anyone know a good way to slow down WC1 (or Win7 in general) so that it runs at the "normal" speed?

I'm thankful for any hints you can give me.

Cheers,
Jochen
 
Just in case that anyone else encounters this problem: The solution I found is that you can select the frame rate with ALT+N (lower) and ALT+M (higher). This way, you can get the game to run at a "playable" speed even with newer hardware.
