Over land, with buildings on low, building detail on low,forest off, land shading on low, decals on high, effects on high, models on high I get 25-40 fps. (But with some stutter.)
Unfortunately, over London the framerates drop to unplayable levels.

I also run shadows and mirrors on. Pre-patch.
This is flying alone.

With other planes, say 12 versus 9 or something like that, the performance is okay over land or sea until bombers start taking hits, then the frames take a nose dive.
But just flying around it's fine.

Of course, performance seems to differ wildly even on identical machines, so it's very hard to say.
Try running at a resoloution of 1440 X 900 and see what fps you get.
