ive been generaly quite happy with it lately and before this latest patch, my experiences now are that the annoying stuttering is back. and i feel its attributed to something scenery related and the full screen thing. turning back on the Aero did help somewhat i "THINK". and choosing native rez 1920 (16:9) was better than 1680 (16:10). dogfighting with the same amount of aircraft over france was much much smoother. Also im having a Launcher crashes ,freezing everything sometimes my mouse too. And i mean no disrespect but over land its like it was on DAY 1but a bit better. i didnt dare try over london. not to enjoyable all round. bit of a step backwards imo. but on the positive the new lighting effects are actually spot on. love its looks !

unrelated but i get these framerate increases when i turn these off. but it does not add to the smoothness you might think 17 fps might give. so its unrelated imo.

mirrors cost me 7 fps.
SSAO costs me 10 fps.
