Starting to make little progress

That new video card will make a world of difference. Even pre patch.

I've found the training missions pretty buggy. I learned more just doing a quickflight mission starting from the ground and just trial and error starting the engine and flying and seeing what each button does.

Yes it did make a difference, I put it in last night.
I have been doing one of the dogfight quickmissions today, where it dumps me in the air, over the water with enemy planes approaching. I have managed to get several kills. Frame rates over the water were 40-60 fps, managed to find my way to an airfield after the fighting and over land was around 30-40 fps. I think the lowest I saw it get was in the clouds, in mid to upper 20's.
I saw a little stuttering at the very start of the mission, but it seemed to quickly smooth out.
I was expecting worse based on what I have read. Was pleased I was able to successfully land as well.

Great looking sim, my initial impression so far is very favorable. Thanks to all the help I got from the fine folks here, I got off to a very good start.
