High Frame Rates, Stuttering w/Patch 3, was not in Patch 2.

[Geoserp]

When I was running patch 2, all stuttering went away when using Hi-Res Textures and all Detail on High. My FPS were 60-200 depending. I was not getting any stuttering when panning my views in cockpit.

With patch 3, my frame rates have dropped a little, but not much and not when I pan or get in a real large furball near the ground or over an airfield I get stuttering.

I notice that even when flying at 12k alt, I can pan in my cockpit view looking left, right, back, etc and get stuttering or when I am looking at the ground, it stutters every few seconds.

I have a fast system, can play a lot of very intense graphics games at full detail such as COD4 & 5.

System:
Motherboard: DFI Nforce 4 Lan-Party
Memory: 2gb Patriot CAS 2 DDR1 Memory at 400mhz (dual channel)
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 3870 (512mb memory)
CPU: AMD Opteron 180 Dual-Core @ 2.5ghz
Monitor: Hanns-G 22inch LCD

Is no-one going to help me with any answer? I was bumped to this forum and no response.

Thanks HiTech. 

When I turn off Detailed Terrain, then the stuttering goes away. In patch 2, the stuttering went away completely. I am running the game with Vertical Sync turned off to match my Video card setting of off. Should I turn it back on?

Thanks again for how hard you all are working to get this right!

Here are the answers from my experience:

1. Go into the tower at, I.E. it is the default. And lower clip board.
     Wait about 15 secs doing nothing. Now look right, Did the View stutter as it paned around?
(Yes)

2. Release the right view ,after you have been looking forward,  look right again, was there stuttering this time?
(No, or a small one at most)

3. Turn off detail terrain, Save it by pressing ok, Exit game , then repeat test 1 and 2.

1. (No)

2. (No)

4. Fly online with detail terrain OFF for a while, did almost all you stuttering go away?
(Yes, was very smooth)
