Thanks for posting this.
I'm one of those long-time ATI owners you mentioned, and yes I hate "ATI stutter" as you call it. By the way, that's a strange name for it, given that nVidia cards will happily produce the same motion artifacts if VSync is enabled and triple buffering is not. But I digress. I wanted to point out that there's a fix. I'd be surprised if you didn't know about Triple Buffering? On my machine, I can only get Triple Buffering working in IL2 by using low resolutions and/or lower levels of anti-aliasing (e.g. 1152x864, 2xAA) but it does work. Bye-bye "ATI" stutter (although other kinds of stutter may still occur). I wondered if there was any reason you left out this tip? Cos if you know something I don't about "ATI stutter" I'd very much like to learn it! (tearing and motion artifacts are pet hates of mine)
