On a clear day, My FPS is great ! AVG around 40 - 50 fps, But soon as some clouds start to appear it goes downhill from there and then i start getting stutters, AVG 15 - 25 fps, I just don't get it.

That is strange; your settings aren't too high, and you've got a decent system. The only thought I have is to try disabling cloud shadows; they might be responsible for some stutter. Or, perhaps you flew into an area of thunderstorms - those are currently rather demanding on performance.

There's a free update for SMP coming out soon as well that may improve performance for you.

I was flying this morning from Valencia to East Midlands, No storms etc, just the off cloud appearing which kept dropping my frames

If turning off shadows don't help, try changing the cloud puff style from "crisp" to "fast". Also make sure your video drivers are up to date.
