Who said turn it all off? I'm running mostly medium settings with a couple on low to "buy" some performance for setting a couple more on high.

It doesn't matter if you should or not. There's what you think the game should be and what the game is, you can either be realistic and have some fun with the game's working elements, or not be and continue not having fun and not discovering what does work.

What annoys me is the FPS drops or stutters for no reason, ie i can be flying along the sea at 60 fps and then it will drop for no reason down to 30 for a few seconds then jump back up, and this with nothing going on the screen.


COD with out the trees doesnt look that much better than IL2, were just talking landscape at say 500 meters, in fact some of the IL2 maps loook much more like England.
First you say it's not true and then you tell me you have stutters, which is almost what i described in the first place (that you need about 2GB of vRAM or so to use original textures with other settings on high if you want to maintain acceptable performance)


Like i said to Tree, you guys need to compromise a bit. Don't compromise with the developers, your expectations of the sim or your rights as paying customers, but you do need to compromise with reality.

The game is what the game is. Asking "should i have to turn this off" doesn't make it run better on your system. Either turn down a couple of settings and fly (you'll see it fills the time nicely and when you fly you don't spend time anxiously waiting for patches), or continue pulling your collective hair out, it's your choice really
