Performance improvement

I don't know because i've never ran anything on high (well, almost). I've been running the sim on medium ever since release, with the exception of model detail (ie, the aircraft) and land shading (to help me with navigation) which are set to high and forests on low. No complaints mind you, it looks good enough for me and it plays great on my mid-range system.

There is an upper limit to what can be achieved with current technology anyway, so even if they have optimized it i guess i would still need a hardware upgrade to set effects on high and maintain playable frame rates.
