During gameplay i get an occasional horizontal band moving from top to bottom. Due a GPU settinG?

Maybe screen tearing? Do you have Vsync enabled?

Are you using a Nvidia card? If you go into Nvidia control panel and post some screenshots of the settings you have set up for Il-2 then maybe we can see if something is set up wrong.

Vsync is what helps with screen tearing, I can't imagine turning it off will fix this. Do you have a Gsync enabled monitor? I wonder if that hardware screen-syncing isn't playing well with Vsync?

To be clear, this looks like a strip across your screen where things look kinda garbled  when your head moves? Like a piece of the image is staying in place while everything else moves? Because that is screen tearing, you shouldn't get that if you have Vsync enabled in game. Or is it like a stripe that moves down at consistent speed?

As said above, looks like Vsync is not kicking in, do you have it enabled in game? Otherwise it won't work, as you have it set per application in your Nvidia CP.

 

Also, although it's not related to tearing, you may want to try setting your Power Management Mode for IL2 to "Prefer Maximum Performance". In general for demanding games Optimal power reduces significantly the performance of your card (for my 1080 it creates lots of stutters).
