New Tweak

Just thought I would share a small, but very effective, tweak I discovered the other day.

I was averaging about 20fps with all settings maxed and a clear sky.  Any clouds killed my frame rates...but then in my card settings I turned on 8x Anisotropic Filtering and now I average 30pfs with very little drop from clouds!  I couldn't belive my luck.

It stopped stuttering over areas of heavy flak too... ;)

So, in your graphics card settings turn Anisotropic Filtering all the way up.  If it doesn't work, you can always just turn it off again, but it made a huge difference to my game. ;)
