Some graphics anomalies as per previous beta, with lines of landscape in the middle of the sea, but gameplay much more smooth overall.
No apparent stuttering.
Screen tearing with V-synch enabled and using trackIR has gone where it was very bad previously, although over land moving my head reduces frame rate quite significantly.
All settings in game on very high/original, AA off. Aero off.
CCC set with all 'application controlled' functions disabled and all 3D effects set to 2x.
Tessalation disabled.
Getting 25-35 FPS average on 'Bomber Intercept' mission with medium clouds which is very playable.
18-25 FPS average on 'Free Flight - England' mission overland which is still playable, but with no clouds. The addition of clouds reduces frame rate to 12-18 average, sometimes dropping to 9 or 10 average close to the grass.
i7 860 @2.8ghz, 6 gig DDR3, ATI 5770. 1920x1080
This is now really getting somewhere and as you can see, my system is by no means top of the range, although I think it's still above 'recommended' specs, apart from maybe the graphics card.
