Thanks for the nice comments all.
When I succeeded in downloading & installing V2.3, I was a little less than happy.
The worst part was that my CH Products yoke was, essentially, unusable.
That was actually fair because when V2.1 came out I believe that the people with Saitek yokes and Joysticks had their own problem.
And it was Prepar3d V2.3 that did it. I loaded FSX back onto my computer and The yoke worked as it should.
No problem with P3d V2.4 now.
Due to circumstances, I didn't get a chance to download the update until quite late last night.
So after setting up the basic buttons on the yoke, what you see is almost all that I did. What I saw briefly was that the clouds are far better than anything from any of the weather programs.
Have you ever been on a tall mountain when a cloud envelops you? It was that good.
There is also something a little different in flying the Beech Baron and the Goose. I'm not all that sure, but I think that it felt a little like flying in X-Plane.
Another thing is that the smoothness is MUCH better now.
Pushing the settings a bit, I ended up dropping the FPS down to 10 or 12. All of those pictures, and the Baron, were taken at 10/12 FPS.
My old graphics card took it all in stride. On the other hand I was flying over the ocean, so that would have helped.
No more FS12
