Tried all those and more Ace, even tried turning off anti-virus plus all settings to low in options. I'm getting good frame rates and Sli is working reasonably well for me (have even tried disabling Sli), tried v/s on and off, tried no cockpit, reducing clouds, no difference. I can run this sim at full settings with good frame rates (30--45 over land) but no matter what I try these damb stutters remain. I was not getting them over water but the 15950 patch has started them there as well. I will just have to do some more testing and isolating. Had some mods installed thought it might be the culprit so isolated them, no difference. I only play off line so I can't put it down to internet connection. Getting to the stage where I don't know what to try next. I know that unoptimised Sli can cause problems so will just have to see what the team comes up with.

cheers

S!

Just remove those annoying STATIC reflections on gauges. Really do not understand why people think they make the sim more atmospheric when they do not change at all no matter how you maneuver. But matter of preference I guess ;)

Reflections look naff and seeing an empty seat reflection kicks the immersion in the puppies.
