Any update on XP performance?

[69iAF~Mike]

I use win.7 but also test on XP each new patch.
So far nothing new. Performance is terrible and graphics are too buggy.
My plane is half transparent, I can see the propeller through the cockpit, damage decals don't show up, Ground becomes a big black patch with land shading on anything above "low", low-level flight with trees on anything other than off results in 5FPS and overall performance sucks. Also reloading flights sometimes ends up with the sim. displaying the loading screen but no loading bar- no progress at all.

On windows 7 it's like a totally different product- one that works (latest patch worked wonders, either).
