Just asking because I built a new pc recently with CLOD installed on a Crucial C300 SSD and am experiencing no stutters whatsoever and other people with SSD's seem to experience little to no stutters aswell.

No SSD, system disk is 10,000 rpm.
Important to say here, many tracks had no or very little stutter. When I play the game - versus test a high load performance track - I don't have a lot of stutter complaints.
If you look back at my results - many times the lowest fps in tracks is 14-to-18 with no or minimal stutter. Repeated playbacks and some initial playback - always eventually show it in a random manner.
By random I mean - at different spots on the track. Sometimes the stutter occurs when the attacking 110's are viewed from the perspective of the Hurricanes waiting to take off - sometimes it occurs a low load points on the track - it's random.
The pauses can also be very short and sometimes as long as 2-3 seconds. This is a problem with execution, which I'm sure will be nailed down soon.
When you guys are saying you have found solutions that have no stutter - Do you mean normal execution of the Simulator - or do you mean repeated playback of "The Black Death" track? Two different conditions.
Try 7 sequential playbacks of "The Black Death" track without restarting CoD. If you get through that with no Minimum FPS less than 10 fps and I'm pretty sure you have found a solution. I had one or two examples in a week of testing - in which I had 4 or 5 consecutive runs with minimum FPS of 14fps or above. However, the rub is that after both those episodes, when I tried to re-run the next 5 runs with the same settings after restarting CoD - the stutters returned.
