I still have some troubles with heavy dust on the ground, so I would think tweaking of effects still is in the works, but it seems like a move in the right direction.

If I compare my FPS to other flight sims, I would have to say the are are par, especially if I consider all factors.

I can do a free flight over London without pause... this is my personal benchmark as it was one of the first things I did when I got the game. It is much improved.

Cockpit also seems to be a hiccup, has anyone else noticed this? In cockpit I will average about 40 FPS, outside views will jump 20+ and fly by, well the FPS is in the 100s... I think a graphic option for scaling the cockpit textures like DCS has might have been a good idea... dunno.

If you switch from original textures it will dramaticaly change the quality(instrument clarity) of the cockpit for a minimal fps increase, I wouldnt unless the machine in question is below spec as the cockpits are one of the best parts of the sim.

Partical effects seem to be a hog (ju88 engines!) and when I set them to medium I didnt gain much in return.
