Pre patch: I was running on an MSI 4870 512MB OC, the fps was below 10 ave on lowest settings at 1680*1050 with lots of stutters.
Upgraded to a Gigabyte 6950 OC 1GB and could play on medium settings with minimal stutters.
Beta patch: Changed settings to high, except forest on Very Low and building detail and number on Low. Improved fps to an average of 25 over land and in the 40s over water, while looking around in the cockpit. Haven't been able to notice any stuttering. I didn't have much time to play with the beta patch before the official patch was applied.

Fps stayed around with the same levels, with no noticeable stutters. However, I have found a few graphical anomalies.
1st: I can see the outline of a square box (I think this is the new 8x8km load box?) If I pan around the cockpit the line continues around the plane to make a square/
2nd: Not sure what the gray things are to the left of the gun sight?
More examples:
3rd: The rear view mirror flashes and lines appear across it obscuring the view. It will then flick back to sea or land, depending what I'm flying over.
#Also tracer rounds are not working in the Spitfire IIa after I changed the ammo types. I made sure I had tracer rounds selected by they don't show up in game.
#Hurricane rear view mirror doesn't show
#Can't seem to get the HE 111 or Ju 88 to load bombs?
