Do you really believe that the improvements are only the result of omissions and reduced effects?
That stuff was turned off for trouble shooting, not to improve fps!
The easiest explanation is not always the correct one.

It surely indeed increased performances too but we would like both all effects and graphics enhancements back and improved performances, plus aircrafts tuned rightly, weather also, and finally, wing tip lights, wingtip smokes, no crash to desktop at all, no framerate anymore beyond what's normal for modern hardware, enhanced and balanced damage model, there is a lack in certain types of ground objects too, and by the way, the mouse view lags, so do the control surfaces, and new aircrafts should be available, certainly ground types in British side are missing.

The current flight model in terms of stall, spin, flutter and so on needs some tuning but is one of the best available I've seen.
That's the first stone along with awesome huge maps.
