#1) il2 is made as an "OPENGL " flight model. It is not made to work with Direct X.

If your computer is not a fast computer with 600 watts or so power supply it just is not going to perform as well as you want no matter what you do. Especially when you add mods etc to your game.

I have a top of the line motherboard, 650 watts power supply and 4 gigs memory along with a Nvidia GTX 280 graphics card & the game runs very well in all of the various modes.

I used to be able to run FMB smooth as a babies bottom on the 352nd Mod install, but since a fresh install and UI1.2 it's been slow. It's not my system spec that is at fault! Incidently, what OS is everyone using? Because i've only had fresh install + UI1.2 since upgrading to Win 7 64bit, though, so far Win 7 has been fantastic...
