Good quality pics as always Grover.
my machines biggest problem is if i get over 300 knots it tends to quit rendering the ground (or water) textures

in other words by time i would have gotten back to the carrier the water would have been blurry and the ground would have never looked as good as yours. I suffer when flying military a/c which is what i love.
I know it is a bind, but have you thought about pausing the game for a few seconds to give it time to catch up?
If you realy want to get the best from your PC though, get in touch with ramsa, he will help you get the best from your machine if you have the patience and the time. It realy is worth it, mine is amazing since I followed his advice......Am I getting paid for this ramsa ? ;)
