Pretty good improvement but stuttering still present near buildings but faster-paced and not so dramatic, fps stays at 19 while stuttering. Normal fps 30+ .GPU load around 60-70%.
Dropping from native 1440*900 to 1280*800 allowed playing over London with 6 fighters vs. 10 bombers + flak smoothly around 35 fps.

Settings: Visual effects, model detail and damage decals hi, rest low.

The patch really made it a lot better for me...

Over land I went from about 20 fps to 30-35, and if at 1000m or higher the micro freezes are gone... Down low they are still there, but better. No way good though...

Some interesting notes:

* CPU load is at around 20% for both cores all the time! Was like that before the patch too! Never go above 50%...

* The freezes occur when flying low close to buildings, it really feels related to collision detection as occors when coming close - but they have already been rendered before.

EDIT (forgot my specs):

Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.3Ghz
6Gb DDR2
GTX275
Windows 7 x64

Good results - improved from 17-18 FPS AVG in London intercept quick mission to 30 AVG (but minimums still around 5-6 occasionally). I started testing from all settings low to all settings medium to medium+grass+roads, and turned on 8XAA - and the AVG now is 27-28 in London intercept (I have Vsync on).

So-just keep at it guys, I'm very satisfied with the patch.

Core 2 Quad 9650 @3.0 GHz
4GB DDR2
Radeon HD 5870 1GB
Windows 7 x64

I have found that there has been a step back from the beta patch, in that I can no longer run with shadows on. Had a lot of the micro-stutters until I turned them off, then it runs much more smoothly. Frame rate greatly improved (as in beta). Have been testing at low altitude over Dover to see the difference between land and trees, buildings, and sea.

Disappointed to lose cockpit shadows as this greatly adds to the realism, pity the terrain and cockpit shadows aren't independently selectable (future option, maybe?)

I also am unable to lower my resolution from 1080p - I end up with the screen being narrower vertically (black bands at the top and bottom of the screen) even though I tried 1600 x 900 and 1360 x 768.

Overall a nice improvement, thanks team!

I definately got a performance gain. It feels like 30% smoother.
But, the micro freezes are still there.

Feels smoother here and I guess I have a useful gain in FPS. Still stutters a bit.

Running at 1920 x 1080 I get mostly about 30 FPS with trees off, buildingslow, landscape medium.

framerate improvements over land, but still major stutters.

terrible shimmering black line on the horizon over water remains.

crossfire is off

i am using bomber intercept over london as my benchmark, as it seems most demanding.
