(I run a custom mission 12v12 above the CHannel, medium clouds, config "pretty low":
i7 720QM
GTX260 270.51 Beta Nvidia drivers
4 Go DDRIII
7x64, All Aero desactivated
"smooth" 15-22 FPS,

Effets and models are "Medium", the rest if "Low", roads and grass desactivated, 1366*768
)

You definately should gain some major improvement on your rig. It seems that the "kegetys.dll" helper utility (with added lines to config file) and/or "-mod=xxx" launch parameters are not in effect.

Wow - what a great work by Kegetys!

The NoSSAO and noMipmaps really made a huge difference in performance..
(no mipmaps DO make the buildings uglier - but makes flying lov really smooth!)

The game is so much better now! (I actually manage to down a bf 110 today, after a long an intense dogfight - brilliant!)

S!

FoX. You got all installed as said? Then open Steam and go to Library. Right click IL-2:Cliffs OF Dover and select Properties. The first tab General has Change launch parameters box. Click it and add, for example, -mod=nossao and press OK. You have enabled the noSSAO mod. Same applies to other 2, just add -mod=lowtex for LowTextures and -mod=nomipmap for the MipMap fix. Leave a space between each parameter.

Help! the nomipmaps mod improves performance a lot, but crashes the game very often. Can it somehow be fixed???

Hello,
so, I tried again:
2 Launches with Launcher error at 95%
1 Launch with mission working but still 20Fps.

Here's a screen of my install:
