It makes me wonder if other files likewise are "read only" that don't get changed (ie copied over) when a new beta is applied. We seem to get a lot of varying observations & complaints from forum members with each new beta release that may not be due entirely to different PC systems.

Interesting point Snapper. I forgot to mention once I unchecked the read only option, I did receive a message asking "Apply to all folders and sub-folders" to which I replied yes.
The only stutters I get are the ones from spawning a/c because they are about 1-2 seconds long, other than that I get smooth performance on mostly medium settings except for model, damage decals, visual effects and texture which are all on high.
I guess I could reinstall the beta and core patch again over the now unchecked read only files and folders to see if I get any performance effect. I highly doubt I will find any difference though, even read only files are replaced in updates to various applications.
If I am not mistaken, read only just restricts the user from editing or changing the file manually by mistake. So in order to provide security from corrupting your files they add the Read Only option for advanced users to edit the files. Just my thought and I may be mistaken about that.
