I was found, now I'm "Lost"

OK, I have to admit that I've returned to Prepar3d (after very graciously receiving a refund from LM the first time around). I think I just got spooked the first time, having spent $63 for what I thought was another low-fps FSX. I do love my FSX, as I have everything tuned and smooth with great weather, MSE,  blah-blah-blah-blah. But, I gave in to the "I gotta have something new" to play with.

 

Rght off the bat after a little tweaking, I got the "black screen." Must have done something wrong; regarldess, deleting the .cfg file got me back in the air with no further problems.

 

Did some adjusting of sliders, and Wowwww?, I'm consistently get framerates in the high 30s and low 40s (and still inching the slider forward). Im using an old Dell XPS 420 (quad core at 2.4 GHz, and an nVidia Geforce GX 650), and I tell you,  the view out the windscreen is looking gorgeous!!

 

FPS are in the mid-40s when I fly around my area using MSE 2.0, and flying around default Hawaii with sliders up gets me in the high 30s.

 

Now for the "Lost" reference ... look at this pic:

 

 

Can you see the floating house? Must be something left over from the Dharma Initiative.

 

Anyway, P3D is working fine for me ... Now, if I can get a CRJ to fly.

you can copy FSX CRJ to P3D, it flies just fine.

I thought I tried that, but that it didnt show up in the vehicles list. That's a hope. AFter Ive had my coffee this morning, Ill run down in the basement and give it a try. Thanks.
