Did you turn off Anti-epilepsy, SSAO, Grass, Shadows and FOREST, they tend to be the big hitters. Also 1900 resolution may hurt if you are running that.

Made a giant discovery. Set conf. ini frequency to match monitor frequency . Runs smoother now don't even notice stutters anymore. Duhh!! cant believe I missed this.

You can't select it in the video options drop down? I can set 120Hz there at least to match my monitor...

Frequency of 30 for me.

I don't see a frequency setting in the conf.ini...but I have changed it in game with better results..where do you see that? Ok, I found it...yep at 59. matches.

In the documents/1C SoftClub/il-2 sturm/conf. In game doesn't go as low as 30.

If you're running the last one on "original" you're only setting yourself up for trouble

Try lowering that one a notch or two before you do anything else, i found out that the gain is so big i could actually raise a couple of other settings.

As for the rest, you can compromise on one feature to up another, depending on what you consider important. For example, i have turned down land detail to low because it actually governs how far out from the player the landscape is drawn in high detail (ie, even if you set it to low the land close to you still renders at an acceptable quality). Doing this i've gained a few FPS that i then spent to raise land shading to high because i consider it more important for flying and depth perception (gives better "relief" feel to the terrain thanks to the shadows).

In short, i made my landscape look better by increasing the shadow detail level and i made my PC run it by reducing the distance to which it will render.

There's lots of little tricks like that which can get you good performance without compromising much on visual quality, you just have to experiment with it a bit.
