Thanks Wags.

Is opting for the open Beta in the properties tab the only way to get the 2.5 release version on Steam? I tried to opt out of all betas, and it just reverts back to the old version.

How do I run it in borderless mode? I use 2 monitors, will that have an effect on it?

I used the tool in safe mode.

Changed that. Not that I am aware of. I have a Corsair 750m Two Days ago. MSI Afterburner. Readouts were pretty steady. The game does not even max out the CPU or GPU. Just switched from Newest to 388.71. Better performance, for me. Not at all. I hate all of the extras that come with Nvidia. Just switched to pre-rendered frames to 1. Single Display Performance mode (today). Max Perfomance power mode. I have Windows 7. Should I upgrade? I also have an SATA Samsung 850 EVO SSD. Should I upgrade to a 950 PCI-E Version? The Read/Write difference is staggering. 44 and I tweaked it. Last night. I will say that I get 60 now almost across the board now. Even on the free-flight PG Hornet mission. No more drops when turning. It does drop when other Hornets are around on the Tarmac but only to the 50s.

This is from the lights and such spilling over from the main screen to the Helios screen. I tried many things to stop it, nothing helps.

I did everything that DflippinK recommended. Still have crap performance. It does pretty good with the stock aircraft. What refresh rate should I be running?

New drivers didn't help either. It's mainly the shadows and the F-18C that is causing the low FPS. I get 60-120 FPS in the FC3 aircraft. It also seems that the pit sounds (EW warning and etc) has an effect. Could my on board sound be causing it?

The MSI AB readouts for both GPU and CPU usage are a steady 2/3 used and it's consistent. I have pretty high settings but the frame issue happens NO MATTER WHAT setting I use. I only have MSAA and AF turned on.

It is not overclocked. It has a turbo boost function. No matter what my settings are, the FPS is the same. Low, high, medium.

I have a 750w power supply. The card calls for a 500. I am covered for power.

I feel like I wasted 500 bucks! I got overall better performance from my 970 than I get in my new 1070 SC. I would get the occasional stutter with my 970. But the frames were not that bad. I would get 60 frames almost everywhere. Now I get 35 on the ground and some serious stutters in light combat.

Working pretty good.

Thank you for this!

So is the stick just an addon to the Warthog HOTAS? I have an X55 and have been eying a Warthog forever. Am I missing anything by not having it?

Thanks for the update.

Did you figure out how to do the view ports? If so, is it a different process than before?

I could live without the MFDs for now.

I read that post. I may try it. Edit: Cannot try that. I have the Steam version and it will not let me play it offline.

I set this up and down and did not notice a difference. I actually saw less stutters with the slider at max.

I only get stutters on the Persian Gulf map, over the cities. The problem is with the terrain loading. No matter what settings I use, low to high, I always get stuttering occasionally when I turn my aircraft to see a new direction with scenery. I think if ED got rid of the water under all of the scenery covered with land, this game would perform loads better.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Go under the Configuration tab and set the x position to the start position on your second monitor. I have 2 1920x1080 monitors. So the X value for the second screen is 1920. Do that and save/reload profile.
