I installed the 2.14 Patch 2 today an tested if my grafic stutters would stop.
They didn't. I still have the problem, that while flying the game constantly stutters while loading the "new" terrain. It gets worse if turning my head using TrackIR. This all with a displayed FPS of around 45 FPS.
I tried to reduce all grafic settings and texture size, but that didn't solve the stutter.
If i put everything to max and just deactivate detailled terrain i get a smooth and steady 55-60FPS
