Turning off Aero for CoD IL2

[Georgio41]

So far this is pretty much the only mod I've made apart from the official patch and it made a huge difference to the fps/stutters on my comp.
I'm hoping that 1c take on board the work being done by individuals on the SimHq forums to optimise the game and produce a more detailed 'fixit' patch.

It reverts to aero on closing the game.

Can't say it visibly improved anything though.

Turning of Aero also results in image tearing when panning your view.

I had the same problem, and I can't say as I get why, but there you go.

I think the reason for tearing when the disablecomposition switch is set is that the game
isn't really a full screen game. It's just a windows maximised option to fill the screen thus the graphics has to render everything on your desktop + Aero + game inducing performance hits.
