what exactly do i need to turn off in the sound section of the config file? i tried setting engine sound to 0 and it was still there in game?

PS i might have been incorrect at the amount of fps i was previously getting it turns out that over (water only) even with sounds running and everything maxed out i get almost flawless performance but the second there is any land rendering in site this drastically declines to the point that if i am over london even with everything turned completely down as far as it will go i still get plenty of tearing, clipping and lag.

I would like to try this once i have turned the sound off like you said and see if it makes a difference but as it stands the only place that i could dog fight would be over water. land is out completely as i cant go any lower on settings and it is still awful.
