You know I went home last night and turned AA off completely and the other AA setting, tree shadows off as well. Everything else is set to high and it now runs around 60 frames. Just what I wanted, looks so good now I can really enjoy it! thanks

Hi All, Just wondering how everyone manages to stay alive with no RWR and IR jammer etc. I dont have that many hours in this sim but I manage to find my targets mostly with no labels etc and meet my objectives. But most of the time when i get destroyed I never seen it coming. I think its A2A attacks from A10's and sometimes Apaches. I manage to deal with most SAM threats ok. I stay very low and usually pretty fast to target area. Should I slow down? How do you guys detect air threats with no labels. If I do see a threat visually do I just run away? Any tips appreciated. Playing BS 1.2 - I have 2 but its 2 slow currently. Thanks

Hi All, Just wanted some friendly advise before I starting going and changing everything. I recently bought a new PC - GTX 680, I7 - 3930 with 16 Gb RAM. It has a 1Tb SATA 3 disk which is a bottle neck but otherwise I can run everything on ultra and it runs great. Installed BS 1.2 and it runs perfectly - Minimum of 60fps with everything going on. Really goes well. Installed BS2 - settings to high and I only get 25 fps on average on high settings. Turned distance down, shadows on low, no mirrors and reduced the maxfps and it seemed to help a little but I get massive stutters as well. Tried playing with the swap file - i.e removing it completely as some suggested but it was no help. I do have onboard sound and have not tried disabling it so will do that when I get home. 2 Questions - Is this just the performance I can expect in BS2? Will any amount of tinkering not produce a miracle of the 20 extra FPS I was expecting? Also, will A10 run faster than BS2 - Allot of posts here indicate it does and I bought this machine specifically for these sims. Its a new machine with No AV, No other apps installed - Windows 7 x64. I am running at 1900 x 1200. I didn't expect to have to turn all the shadows off etc as well. It does stutter much worse in stormy conditions as well. It seems to be running fast then the FPS drops to 2 or 4 then goes back to normal. I know there has been lots of posts about this and I just wanted realistic expectations before I tinker to death :) Thanks James
