To ensure you are not getting avoidable performance troubles, make sure you have a properly rebuilt cache.

1) Go into your documents\1c softclub\etc folder and clean the cache folder (delete everything)

2) Install the patch

3) Run the game. It will take a while the first time you load it, as it's rebuilding the cache.

4) Run a quick mission, eg free flight over London but don't use to benchmark. Just fly around. This will force any missing cache data to be added to the cache folder.

5) Restart the sim.

Now you have a properly populated cache folder and you should be getting the patch's true performance. Otherwise, you might see that it's slower the first time you run it after installing the patch, because it's still populating the cache.

Not sure why but I can't delete everything in my cache folder, I have 8 .dds files which just show up as green squares and have strange numerical filenames theat just won't go because it says they are being used by windows explorer, but I dont have them open anywhere and steam is shut down......?

As swiss said, also try to start in safe mode and delete them then if that does not work.
