"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks guys

@Andy.....I have it locked at 26 fps and so far it hasn't wavered or stuttered no matter what I throw at it. My settings are not maxed though.......Scenery Complexity and Autogen are at "Very Dense". Water and weather are set to "High" and I run very little traffic (mostly GA) at about 20% plus ship traffic around 15% (So that the Aerosoft Antarctica icebreakers show).

The only thing I've done tweaking wise is send my cfg. through Bjote's Tweaking and Tuning Tool.
