From your Oct 21 post below it looks like there are four things working against you:

1) dual core CPU
2) 3 gigs ram
3) Win XP
4) ATI 4600 card

Not your fault, I'm sure most, if not all, current games run fine on your system. CoD's code has not been optimised (yet), so it is very demanding on CPU, GPU, and memory for both to run well. Tweaking helps, as you found by turning off trees. But I've found in running Task Manager and EVGA Precision on a 2nd monitor while playing Cliffs of Dover that this sim is a real resource hog in all areas.

Others here with systems similar to yours will hopefully jump in to to make suggestions on how to further tweak your PC and or game settings so you get a decent looking display that runs stably for you.

Crashes
Well, I bought another gig of ram, xp only sees three Gs, and i played for an hour today before it crashed.
I have to say i really like this sim. I hope they get this launcher.exe crash fixed. The latest patch has made things worse.
I am thinking of going to windows 7, and adding more ram, but from what im reading here, it seems others are having the same problem with W7 and lots more ram than i have.
Any ideas out there?



3 gig dual core with 3 gigs ram and ati 4600 1 gig vcard.
