I gotta say, I'm really having a blast with this game! If you're an aviation aficionado, you owe it to yourself to pick this up and also, Abacus' Flight Deck 4. Flight Deck 4 is a little buggy at times, but it gives you the ability to fly an SH-60, A6, E3, F/A-18 and a couple other aircraft. The reason this is of particular note is that you can launch and recover to aircraft carriers! After mastering the daytime launch and recovery, I went on to daytime during heavy storms. Got that sorta/kinda down and then went to night time. That was a mistake! I just spent 2 hours trying to land at night in a thunderstorm and never did get it. I was able to land the helicopter, but not a fixed-winged aircraft. Oh well, there's always tomorrow!
Here's some screen shots for you. These are all with AA/Ansio turned on and detail levels set to High or Ultra. In the most intense renderings, my system bogs down to 28fps. However, I do have it set to try and maintain 36fps, so my FPS stay at 30 or above 90% of the time. They've never gone down low enough to interfere with game play which is really saying something! MS Flight Sim was originally created to severely tax computers and their subsystems.
