Stuck in Mission 8, fps too low to land with all the smoke

[Freebird23]

I'm stuck in mission 8, where you're supposed to land into a tight spot with lots and lots of smoke. I usually get 60-80 fps, but all that smoke brings the fps to <10 range, just when i'm trying to touch down, and i invariably crash to something. I've tried lowering the resolution and turned off HDR, but to no avail.

 

 

- Is there a specific setting that would make smoke faster to render?

- or a mod to turn off smoke or make it less demanding computationally?

- or a way to edit the smoke in the mission editor?

 

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

 

[edit: sorry, i meant it's mission 9]

I was able to finish the mission after quite a few tries. The smoke made it a bit more difficult than was necessary.
