Cleared my cache.
Launched from steam. Starts up with a black screen with a red oblong at the centre. Thought the install was fubar but the game ran after about 30 seconds.
Confirmed the game was patched, right install nr.
The results are clearly much better for me. After taking up a Spit against 6 He-111s in the quick missions it was quickly apparent that the patch had significantly improved things for my system, I appear to have AA as well, although it seems to be much better for the cockpit (window frames are really smooth now, no jaggies) than for distant aircraft. Up close enemy bombers now are now visually very smooth. I don't get stutters caused by particles now where as pre-patch me diving into a formation of 6 He-111s with defensive fire rattling my windows would've been a bit of a slide show, but there are still some stutters that don't really seem to be clearly associated with anything.
My system is:
Q6600, 4gb RAM, GT9800 1gb, Vista32.
