My 560GTX Ti is severely affected by the dust issue.

as is my gtx580...
A friend has the gtx680 and is equally affected by the dust...Just bad coding..

My solution, until the problem is fixed, is to look down so that the panel takes up about 75% of the picture, until I am off the runway. After that, the dust and grass no longer affect the frame rate.

Which version are you talking about?
The latest beta the dust particle issue isnt as bad.
I just did a couple of quick tracks with 6 aircraft taking off and my FPS on the ground is normally around 45FPS with all details on max and it only drops to 24FPS at the absolute worst and normally drops to 30FPS with dust. This is not low enough to cause any stutter or loss of smoothness on my system.
I tried several angles and camera views and got pretty much the same result.

Poor bugger. The 660ti just got released and has about twice the performance of the 560. Had a narrow escape myself, as I was just about to buy the 5' when I decided to read the tech news before going to the store.

It's just as bad, I'll dig out my benchmark if you want to see just how bad it is. It needs to be either fixed or added as a seperate option to br disabled asap.
