Proof in point, Maddox Games is supposably supported by Nvidia yet we have not seen any driver updates from Nvidia showing support for Cliffs of Dover. Nvidia SLI still won't work with Cliffs of Dover, yet Crossfire does. Maddox Games has to fix their engine first before we'll see any driver fixes from either company.
Seems there may be a fix for SLI, just reading this in one of the many sub forums in a post from 335th_GRAthos.

"Giving some feedback on the SLI status after the beta 14762:

SLI works fine for me, using STL's solution:

Looks like they changed Spitfire MkI pitch from 1 (fine) and 4 (coarse), to 2 (less fine and 4 (coarse), instead of 1 (fine) and 2 (less fine).
We need 1 (fine) for takeoff and dogfight ,3000 rpm, and 2 (less fine) for climb and top speed 2600-2800.
Very hard to do a takeoff now.

Edit; 1-4 is just to compare with a gearbox in a car, maybe better to understand?
Sounds still disappear after AI respawns online.

This blue stripes business is most probably an issue between the drivers and the 6xxx series architecture, otherwise we would all get the blue stripes. However, it's only the 6xxx series that gets it, every other Ati card that meets the system requirements doesn't have this problem.
You say 6xxx cards are the only ones that get blue stripes but thats wrong. I have two 5770 CF and still see the lines in the water.

Almost all servers have head shake disabled. It is likely that you don't see your Stuka shaking online because of this.

Aha! Doesn't explain why the Stuka doesn't shake if you do an airstart instead of taking off yourself. Try a quick mission with air start (no take off) in the Stuka with CEM enabled and maybe you can explain why it's not shaking at all.

P.S I've checked the servers I've flown and they have shaking/head shaking enabled.
