Bruno, Anthin, Doug - thank you.
The pictures are a bit dark for me, but the "winter" setting gave better definition to the mountains.
On top of that, I was using the actual real-time weather settings. Overcast sky - dark.
I might as well toss in the fact that it was late afternoon
(sim time).
Also, the scenery looks darker because the picture is reduced in size.
And to make things worse, Prepar3d V2.5 has a problem with it's "radius of detail". But that'll probably be addressed in the next release.
With all that said: from my view point the pictures look MUCH better when I'm flying & looking at two 22" monitors.
And the town of Concrete has just about everything that makes it a scenic place to fly.
