So. After struggling to get an acceptable level of graphic fidelity and frame per second I gave up and downloaded the mod on page 1.
Wow! What a difference.
I've been able to turn up textures, increase visible range to high, leave shadows on (albeit flat) and have 2x msaa. I'm getting a rock solid 36fps even on heavy missions.
My system isn't that great and this mod has been the difference between playing in a vague blurry mess to having DCs look almost as good as on my monitor.
I can read mfds in the harrier. I can read all my dials in the su25T.
And best of all. No shitty canopy reflections.

Stopped using Oculus tray tool as it's a resource hog and didn't deliver any benefits to the graphics quality.
