PSU - Corsair750W
VGA - MSI ATI HD4850

Drivers - ATI Catalyst 8.6 Hotfixed
PF settings - Perfect, Water2, Landgeometry3, Efects2, 1280x1024
4xAA, 4xAF
Kamikaze02 track FPS Avg45, Max167, Min10

It seems, that this flight sim is quite CPU dependent..
When I was on stock CPU freq. (1.8GHz), FPS results in Kamikaze02 track were:
Avg31, Max118, Min6

When I fly online (on UK3 Dedicated server) FPS are at average about 60-90.

Yes iL2 is VERY CPU intensive... a bump up of 0.2 in CPU speed will give you about 10% more FPS... so better to OC your CPU (or upgrade your CPU) then the graphic card... Finally we dont run this sim at very high resolution anyway... and high res are where these card shine....
