My screens native resolution is 2560x1440, and even cutting that in half and putting the graphics on "medium" with no other changes is unplayable.

Hallo Spinnetti,

Nice machine, nice setup (Win6 64), you have a Ferarri, unvortunately on a set of "wooden" tyres. As other mentioned already, your GPU is the main and probably only problem, mainly due to the 512Mb VRAM which are exhausted all too easily in this game.

By the way, no offence but minimum configuration used to be 640x480 (since you know the IL2 times, I dare to remind you). Everything higher than this, you are taking your chances.

The rest I have posted already in this thread if you go through them you can find most necessary optimisations and use GPU-Z to see how fast zou VRAM reached its limit.

You should be able to fly great with your machine although not at resolution you expect...

Happy flying!
