I've been playing BF2 Special forces recently and I've been trying to get my Chopper specialist, and since most of the pilots are kill whores and don't line you up for shots, or give you the time of day as a gunner, I decided to fly myself.

The problem is when I'm flying, I get seriously choppy lag, but when I'm gunning, my computer runs at peak performance.  I cannot see the difference in the amount of stuff going on from pilot to gunner, see as they see the same things, etc...  I've also noticed this while flying a jet also.

I've even turned my settings down to medium and also turned AA off, it really seems to happen the most on large maps, but even happens on Warlord...

any chance for some help?

Try reducing your draw distance, not sure it'll be worth it, though.

I had the exact same problems; on Special Forces only, and only when piloting. However, my system was absolute crap, so I don't know why it's happening with yours, even on low settings. Ever since I got a new computer, I haven't had any problems.

Try a lower resolution.

What does the draw distance actually do, does it affect how far away you can see things?    like seeing a chopper in the fog?

Yes.

(From tweakguides)

While reducing the view distance improves performance due to less scenery being rendered, it is strongly recommended that you do not reduce your view distance below 100%. A reduced view distance can place you at a disadvantage in the game against other players who use 100% view distance, making it harder for you to spot distant players and vehicles. Keep this setting at its maximum and reduce other settings first to improve your performance if you can.

I found some settings that work great, thanks for the support guys.
