Turning Grass to "off" smoothed things out 100% for me. Buildings and forests and textures and landscape lighting still MAX.

I already have grass "OFF" but still have these "Micro Stutters". I have allowed for the fact that I'm running SLI and the sim isn't optimised for that, but my son has a single card and has "Stutters" even worse than I have. He tells me that low down over London it is almost unplayable. He has a Quad core system and a GTX 560 Ti and is certainly not happy about lack of smooth play.

Not really stuttering here after the latest beta driver from nvidia. Clouds seems to be the culprit when it does happen....plus I only get 19-20 fps in clouds.

I fly without clouds for now

Try setting texture quality to High instead of Original and defrag game files using Gamebooster after every patch. Landscape shading, forest and buildings, effects on Medium or Low. Models and damage - High.

In video drivers I set everything on Quality instead of High Quality. No noticeable stutters with grass, roads and shadows ON.

Also check out the last link in my sig.

Important: add Steam/1C and Documents/1C to antivirus exclusion list for real-time filters to stop antivirus from scanning every small file the game access.

Reinstall all the files from the /redist/ folder under Steam.

Ataros,

I have tried the antivirus thing before, even disabled it but makes no difference. As far as the "Scipting" suggestion goes, it is not my place to try to fix the developers coding. All we want is for them to fix the "Graphics Glitches" that have been there since day one. Making changes to the "Cockpits" isn't my idea of improving the stuttering game play. For gods sake let them get the priorities right.

Here are my system specs: -

AMD M4N98TD-EVO m/b
AMD Phenom 965x4 cpu 3.4gig
Nvidia GTS450 x 2 Sli
700w p/s (Cooler Master) single rail 52a
8gig DDR3 ram
WD 1Tb HDD (Partitioned x 5)
Windows 7 64 bit
19" Samsung Sycmaster 931 @ 1280 x 960 (native 1440 x 900)

Now don't tell me that my system isn't good enough because every other game is silky smooth including ROF (50--60fps).
I'm getting fps 45--60fps (depending on activity) over land with v/s enabled (more if I disable v/s)
Once both my cards are up to operating temps (about 58deg, and both run at about that temp) play becomes smoother but I still have these "Micro Stutters" when looking to the side at the ground. Most of my video settings are on "High" except Buildings Amount and Forest which are "Med". AA= off , V/S=off, Grass = off , Shadows = off. As i've said part of the problem maybe lack of official SLI support but we can't lay all the blame there. Other users with higher spec systems are having similar problems. It amazes me to see the developers putting time into "candy" improvements without smoothing out game play first.
