Thanks for the tips and replies everyone!
However, no luck

I used the recommended conf ini settings from a few posts above and also downloaded and installed the Gurner 10K file. Flying Boelcke's Defense of the Reich campaign/career on the Berlin map, there
may have been a slight improvement - difficult to say. Flying Boelcke's Defense of the Reich campaign/career on the Lake Balaton map against B24's - it is a slideshow. Everything is OK until I'm in range of the bombers, then it becomes choppy and then unplayable once I'm in the contrails behind the bombers.
Here are my system specs, this box should be able to handle this sim, I should think:
* Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz Quad Core 8000K
* Coolermaster Hyper TX3 Vertical, 3 Copper Heat Pipes, Extra Quiet CPU fan
* Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Z68, Onboard Video, DVI & HDMI, SLI & X-Fire, SATA3, USB 3.0, GB LAN
* 8GB (4x2GB) PC12800 DDR3 1600 Dual Channel/ Nov 2012 upgraded to 16GB
* GeForce GTX 560 1GB PCI EXpress 16X dual head, HDMI/ Nov 2012 upgraded to GeForce GTX 670 2GB
* 1000.0GB Western Digital Blue 7200RPM SATA 3 6.0Gb/s 32m cache
* 1000.0GB Western Digital Blue 7200RPM SATA 3 6.0Gb/s 32m cache
* LG Blu-ray 10X Recorder,16x LightScribe DVD Recorder SATA combo drive
* Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCI express
* Case Fan 120 mm Extra Quiet DC fan
* Thermaltake TR2 750W ultra quiet ATX Power Supply, SLI & X-fire ready
* Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit DVD
I don't have any problems with Rise of Flight, but I realize that is comparing apples to oranges

If I remember correctly, I could run the Boelcke campaign/careers OK with v1.71 DBW, but the problem seems to have cropped up with the advent of TFM and the TNFM. This is not any criticism of Simon and the modders! This is a great package they have worked very hard to put together. Evidently there must be something in settings I'm missing - and goodness knows I've tried almost all of them that have been posted in the various forums. I'd hate to have to bail from the Monty and give up all those wonderful mods.
Anyway, there are just my observations.
Cheers,
Scott
