Are the buildings the problem?

You're right on the mirror, and to be honest it's not really much use (that might just be me!)

The buildings are bringing the fps down. I've a reasonable config but get 16-20 FPS over London with building settings on high and at 1920x1200.

Is it possible to disable colision detection in conf.ini?
My opinion is that the only solution will be to designate one core only for CD like Luthier said.
I don't see as a problem the fact that it limitates the game to four cores systems,right?
You can do CD opcional too in realism options.
Only guessing,though.

I'm OK with it COD, even if the landscapes are watered down to IL2 levels for awhile.

I have no doubt believing that rendering all those buildings and trees are part of the problems with over city fps drops.

Yeah, also the mirror created a drag on several other combat flight sims as I recall. Afterall it displays a defined area of the full landscape you have behind you.

Do I have confidence the COD will get fixed? Yes, I do.

Yet, I am not going to upgrade my hardware until there are conclusive docs on resolved issues. I'm sorry, but combinations of components can make a real difference. It's not always about the most expensive and fastest hardware. I learned that lesson very well with the last system I built.

Look at my specs... I used low latency ram, which made a difference. I used a single video card, because there were bottlenecks with SLI. Bottlenecks that weren't exactly explained when the reseller was giving me the sales pitch on a box full of video cards. LOL

When people speak with authority that doesn't always mean they know anything.

There's a key command to turn off the mirror while flying, i think by default it's mappped to M. I'm not sure since i remapped it (i use M for the map), so have a look in your keybindings options just in case.
