dont get how but it improved performance and looks better as well.
the most noticable thing i had was when i got a plane to start flaming the smoke effects really slowed down my framerate when i tried to fly through the smoke (most of the time as soon as i got good hits) , its much smoother now
just thought id register share this in case others thought it wouldnt help, its worth a try
my comp specs (no making jokes pls i know im behind the times)

amd dual core 2.8ghz

None shall laugh at these specs. I have pretty much the same, and I´m proud.
Anyhow, I bought a copy today and had to put things waaay down low and the res. too, in order to get a fair performance (which is everything in flying..)
I´ll be trying out these procedures tomorrow.
My specs...
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66GHz)
Win7 x64 (SP1), DirectX 9.0c NVIDIA Geforce 8800GT 512Mb, 2Gb RAM, 2,8Tb HD
(I´ll be buying more RAM during the fall, and more stuff when I get the funds.. I still have a decent motherboard which can take all the high end stuff..)
