Hi Abel6669,
I have a Dell Inspiron 531, video card is ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT and im using 4mb of RAM. If im flying with a tremendous amount of bad weather loaded with clouds my frame rates are in the high teens otherwise they are between 40 and 80. The only time I see stuttering of any kind is when a flight is sponning. I have DSL and here in central Florida most people use COX for a ISP. I run Disc Cleanup and CCleaner every night before I retire my computer for the night. I also clean out my TEMP folder nightly. Discfragmenter is run weekly as well. So to answer your question....yes there are some of us who do not experience stutters while flying IL-2. I only hope you have better luck with it in the future.

*cries*. i need to update my system. it sucks.

Abel, i'm afraid there is no 'hard and fast' guide to eliminating these stutters. it's very much down to the individual system, and a fair amount of fiddling with your conf.ini, to find the optimum solution.
If you do a search, you will find several refences and guides to setting up your conf.ini. My advice, do the slog, and read through them until you are comfortable enough to try some changes yourself.
I could tell you what works best for me, but it won't help you, as you will have a different PC setup to me, etc.... :wink:
The good news is (as long as you keep a backup) its almost impossible to stuff your game up permanently by making changes in the conf.ini. Another place to make changes is your nVidia Control Panel......this is where the differences come in.....you might have an ATi card, which uses a different control panel, and i've never used it, so from there on out, you're on your own.
Like i said, 'seek and ye shall find'- there are endless threads/links pertaining to getting rid of these stutters...
good luck! :wink:

micro stutters have been plaguing me for years, probably due to a too low rig (P IV 2.66 GHz + 7600 GT + 2 Gigs of ram) and to avoid them as best as possible since I only fly offline, I open and tweak each and every .mis file, deleting convoys when they are not necessary, diminishing the number of planes, smokes, clouds, artillery etc ....
this is a very long and boring process but at least I get much less micro stutters than before
If anyone is interested I am willing to send my "modded" offline campaigns and single missions, just PM me a valid email address.

Editing your config.ini to the bare minimum can aso help a great deal as well , setting your graphics card to performace instead of quality(if you have that option)can also give the fps a boost , and I agree with Jaymom , give your pc an apple a day to keep the stutters away....
- Abel6669 - 21.07.2009
and would be bare minimum be =1 on everything???? i guess il go config hunting for a fwhile lol.
EDIT: and hero, my Nvidia card is already set to perfomance,and i doubti will get rid of the stutters without an upgrade, you will find my settings under the "video settings" thread, same forum as this

I found this useful:
http://il2ultrapack.net46.net/index.php/board,4.0.html
I have a windows XP system, AMD 2x64 6000, and 2gig ram, the most my winXP can handle, and a GeForce 9600GT with 512MB RAM, which is the largest card my mobo will take (its primarilly spec'd for other specializedc work)
And I have pushed the graphix to the hilt, and it will still stutter sometimes. You have to find a balance between playability and eye candy,and you have to accept, prettier pictures is going to cost you. There are very fewer shortcuts to better performance when you get down to the hardware level.

Welcome to the Club! :lol:

I'm not sure what to suggest, other than I owned a AMD 3400+ with 1.5 gb ram and 6800 graphics card (obviously not the best system!) up until this year and I never had any problems with stuttering, low frame rates yes... but only if I set it to perfect graphics.
One of the things I heard caused stutters on ati cards was having vertical sync enabled - no idea if turning it off will help a nvidia card but you might try setting it to 'forced off' in the control panel and seeing if that solves it?

Hi Abel, I had microstutters for ages. There was a tic of static with the stutter, or you could call it a blip every 10 or 15 seconds. Not sure if this is the same. I had a problem with my xp operating system so I ran xp over my original install and it cured the stutter. Might be a driver issue somewhere. I have a low end machine nad tried changing every setting in the book to no avail. Hope it helps. ~S~
