"chickenchoker - I think the micropause/stuttering was elsewhere ascribed to SLI combined with a lack of triple-buffering due to high resolutions."

Cheers, I'll sure look into it. I use AA 8xS, super transparency, and AF x16. Watching BD track in perfect mode is smooth. External views are fine, it's in the cockpit I get a "strobe" affect. It's a steady timed pause-pause-pause.

Also, I get an artifact on the water that looks kind of like a smoke trail, and I saw the "white flashes" on the aircraft.

Thanks
