...Allen If you read this let me know a little more about that one you mentioned under Hardware and software please.
Sorry, I just dropped in yesterday. So, this is probably too late.
I uninstalled all my games a while back. Rebuilt my OS and applications. Then started reinstalling games -- approximately 40 so far old and new. They all work -- at their max settings at 1920x1200 (except in those few old games that don't support that resolution -- some of those do go 1920x1200 with a user-patch). OFF is the only one that had an issue with non-smooth video.
I reinstalled OFF today. At first, the game crashed when in flight (crashed out of CFS3 and back to control of the OFF Patch). But, I found the solution to the crashes.
Bottom line: I can set all in-game graphical settings to maximum at 1920x1200 with 0AA (I always play with 0AA so this is probably not necessary to be 0AA). EXCEPT, the Scenery Detail slider has to remain at 3. Don't know "where the fault lies" for that.
At the settings I have tried, there is some stutter -- seemingly as flight brings in new scenery. That's where it is -- right now, today. Still playable. But, some folks cannot abide even the most minor stutter.
