Had to work today so still not given it a really good go. General impression is good. Seems much smoother although no massive increase in fps but I can fly quite happily with everything on maximum except for texture quality which is high rather than original. Maybe it is my imagination but it generally seems to 'look' better except in one respect and that is that the resolution of the external skins seem to be much lower. I cannot read the text on the wings of Spits and 109s whereas in pre-patch screen shots it is perfectly legible. I wonder if a bit of such down grading along with lack of clouds accounts for some of the increase in fps they are claiming. Also I have no cloud shadows on the ground.
If the core usage has been optimized for multicore CPUs have the people getting worse performance checked that this is working correctly on their systems? Just a thought.
If the patch has fixed the main instability issues then I think that is the main thing as the rest is still being worked on. It is just a shame it is not a complete fix for everyone yet.
Onwards and upwards.
