Edit: seems I can´t ammend my settings screenshot, so:
1920x1082x60
SSAO off
AAx8
Everything high except forest and buildings medium and landshading low, grass shadows roads on
epilepsy off, textures high

My patch report:

The FPS is even better than with the mods. I could up the settings somewhat. Huge improvement against old version. 60 FPS (D3Doverrider used to force vsync) almost everywhere with one a/c in the air. Low above terreain 40 - 60 FPS. From 50-100m height steady 60. Above london 25-40FPS. Land shading seems to have the biggest impact. Buldings detail level does not have big imppact. I could run very high for a small performance impact but opted for smoother flight. Generally the Flying is almost stutter free except when low oveer terrain where there is a certain amount of stutter even on low trees and buildings...not much difference to medium. Higher settings are unplayable in london because of too much stutter. Stutter in London is worst in a steep turn.

Up in the air in combat 6 hurricanes vs 9 he-111 around 35 -50 FPS close to bombers, no stutter at all, crisply smooth.
