This was a stop-gap measure to make sure the game gets released. As I explained in the clumsily-translated Russian article, everything in our game causes seizures - gunfire, explosions, fire, sun passing behind canopy framework, etc. Basically flight sims are an epileptic's nightmare.

We'll work to improve the framerate and perhaps address individual issues individually as opposed to applying a single rough post-effect filter, but it is basically a very sad situation. Something completely unrelated and unexpected came to our sim with a giant axe and whacked at it at the last moment. We just didn't have time to properly address it.
That's pretty bad and i don't say this to blame you, in fact i can feel your frustration.

If they really did wait until the last possible moment to demand this feature from you they obviously don't know who they're messing with...the local forum forum brigade will swiftly migrate to the Ubi forums and start applying some pressure to put mildly, not to mention that we won't be arguing among ourselves this time

Let's hope a solution can be found. On the other hand, i don't really know what that would entail for the graphics fidelity of the sim even if frame rates are fixed.
