TIPS/NOTES
(love both UIs, not taking part for one, just trying to be objective - observations below only with my machine)

- Time compression is probably main game trouble factor.
Setting max TC to x1024 is good idea, but only in open seas (with both UIs).
100Km around main harbours, best is x64. Otherwise, big stuttering can happen...and will probably be CTD followed.
Furthermore, when ennemy planes around, more than x64 can be deadly as computer will not drop to x1 in time...
I can say CSP Magui is more fluent with high TC, because NewUIs is using a lot more PC performance.
Had very few CTDs with NewUIs and x512/x1024 TC, while none with CSP Magui so far.
I highly recommand to set maximum time compression to X256 for real navigation.

- Resolution is also a game trouble factor.
Running NewUIs at 1920x1080 is the best to avoid CTDs. Almost never crashed using such resolution.
Though, had some troubles on higher resolutions, while i can run CSP Magui at 2560x1440 without any issue.
Again it might be due to PC performances...NewUIs is asking a lot to my CPU, and more again on 2560x1440...

(to be continued...)
