Are you using the most recent ATI drivers version 11.8? As I understand it, the 11.6 and 11.7 weren't too good.

Please read the thread about optimal settings both in the CCC and in-game here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=25543

If you're flying a Spit, turn off the mirror. It is broken anyway so quite useless.

As CoD is a sim that has to compute much more data than an action game like WoP, it has less time to calc the eye-candy, so don't expect to run CoD on the same graphics level than WoP.

My system is not so different from yours, just that I have a faster GPU and I can run CoD @1920x1080 with all options set to the highest settings, only textures set to high and shadows off. So I am confident you could tweak the settings to absolutely playable settings.

thanks for your quick response, tintifaxl, very much appreciated..tried some different graphic set ups and its working quite ok now...not perfect, but enough fps to fly...

how can I Switch the FPS counter on?

installed ATI 11.8 drivers now, which has been a remarkable positive performance change

even flyin around over london is now possible with only limited stuttering, unbelievable... Im afraid it wont work with more birds up in the sky at the same time, will try tomorrow

cheers

For the fps counter open the console, I think you have to map a key for that in the settings, then enter "fps START SHOW", case sensitive.
Now there are two things as far as I read on the forum, fps and stuttering.
The stuttering occurs even for people with good fps, thus has nothing to do with the framerate. It seems to come from texture loading.
I seem to be fortunate enough not to have any stuttering at all, it might have to do with the type and amount of ram and the speed of the harddrive.
There are solutions/workarounds for the stuttering, if you search the topic there should be a list of postings that will help.
I believe Ataros made a lengthy post about help with stuttering a while ago.

managed to optimise fps according to several tutorials here, especially the great one from Mystic Puma: (thx tintifaxl for the linking)

finally did a performance test with the solo spitfire flight over london, the result was 11/56/101, (textures med, grass on, streets on, shadows off, buildings very low, models high)

didnt overclock my GPU yet, but will probably do for further improvements

flying is really enjoyable now but sometimes the stuttering is still existing...
