Well you should stop thinking then.
I have a lot of tearing but only with Aero off. With Aero on, no tearing at all it seems and thats a bit weird since it works that way wether I check V-sync on or not.

I've tried v-sync on, which I can only do by allowing Windows Aero to stay on, and by forcing v-sync on in NVIDIA control panel.

It's nice, and still allows smooth play in the free-flight testing I've done, but I'm opting for higher frame-rates at the moment, by turning Aero back off and forcing v-sync off in NVIDIA control panel, all other settings on maximum.

The tearing isn't a big issue for me at the moment and I'd rather have frame-rates in the 30's than in the 20's, when flying low over English countryside buildings for example. Am getting on average about 20fps flying low over London, which is still surprisingly smooth and playable when sightseeing.

In further testing I've also seen, along with that 'random lines in the landscape' texture bug, that one where the 3D buildings just don't appear (but you don't get much if any of a frame-rate boost). The graphics bugs mainly seem to turn up after I've been adjusting settings and they can come and go sometimes without restarting the game, just by loading up different quick missions.

All in all, the game's running smooth for me now. The stuttering of old is practically gone, with any hitches now very similar to what I used to see in IL-2:1946, for example when some object or effect temprarily smashed my frame-rates.

Maybe my standards are too low, but I think it's incredible I can get these frame-rates flying over scenery as complex as what we have in Cliffs of Dover, with all the in-game graphics options on full (except for v-sync), even if just in one plane on my own.

There's obviously still a lot of work to be done in a lot of area's of the game/sim, but purely in terms of frame-rates and smoothness, I personally couldn't expect much more at the moment.

I Think you dont know what your talking about.. Dont tell us what we can see and cant see..

I still get tearing with aero turnned off on Vsync on.

And my tearing is just like wolfs pic.

With Aero turned off, I couldn't get v-sync to work. Only with Aero turned back on, and with v-sync forced on in NVIDIA Control Center settings could I get v-sync to work in-game.

I couldn't get v-sync to switch off either, until I turned Aero back off and forced v-sync back off in NVIDIA Control Center. Changing the in-game button didn't do anything in either case.

I have the same problem and v-sync only works with aero on for some reason.
The tearing in cockpit is highly noticable and disturbing actually and it's even worse than the "toilet image"

However, this might be because of my old TFT monitor. Perhaps the fact that it's not one
of the fastest makes tearing worse?

Ok, my patch experience. I did the English torrent version, I used 7zip to open it and dump the files where they needed to go.

I opened the game and it started up no issues. Went to Quick Mission with the Hurricane Bomber intercept. Normally with everything on high and SHADOWS OFF I get 100 fps when that mission starts. So I started it and saw 60 fps and thought oh oh... then I realized that Vsynch was working So I disabled V synch and it went up to 80+ fps.. So I turned OFF FSAA and poof..103 fps... So I notice that I had Shadows On... and was still getting 100 fps...

So basically I initially thought I LOST performance but when I realsized that some things that were not working before are now working and drawing resources I was able to isolate those things and in the end I think I have just about the same performance in terms of fps but now with Shadows ON... so in effect a NET improvement, although a conservative one. Some new screens are up and things are coming along..

Reading through the posts I'm absolutely AMAZED how many people with various hardware and almost random conf.ini settings also run all sorts of after market software to force this and force that while at the same time trying to figure out why XY and Z are not working in game when they work for the next guy. Try to take out as many variables as you can when you are having issues..it makes debugging a ton easier..

Its really frustrating that you guys are having those issues.. I have a 6970 and its never had a problem.. I would love to know the difference.

Reduced fps and more pronounced stutter also. Worked through settings yesterday, uninstalled today. The previous version is far smoother for me . New v-synch function is not working (or at best buggy)

Thanks for the patch but this is the first one I have tried that has not noticably increased performance of the game.
