  1. The 'super Mare' part of the name does refer to the sea, it was named thus to distinguish it from other Westons in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. I looked at the Deadwood link and unsurprisingly many of the persons named are already familiar because of our exposure to the culture and folklore of the American west. It's all to easy to forget that there is a history within the broadbrush history that the media shows us. I found the notes on the climate quite interesting, it sounds like a bit of a haven compared to the surrounding country. The patch of the Deadwood police looks unusual since it's formed from playing cards. Thanks for the info. Peter
  2. Dear Mr Zippy, Thanks for researching my question, my curiosity is satisfied. I'm going to keep on exploring this area, today I'll try the alliterative Deadwood Dam ID86 to the charmingly named Treasure Gulch 22ID. Thanks again, Peter
  3. After a long lay off from FSX I'm getting back into flying. I decide to overfly some of the higher areas of the USA, I've been over Yellowstone, Yosemite and Pikes Peak. Wyoming seemed to have high ground to look over so I started a flight from the intriguingly named Gt. Green River Inter Galactic 48U and landed at Kastler Compressor Station UT11 in Utah. I found out how Greater Green River came to be inter galactic but I can't find any information on Kastler i.e. what was compressed there and why? I'd be grateful for any info any body might have. Thanks Peter
  4. Dear Inuss, I was being ironic.
  5. Today I was going to recreate Earnest K. Ganns attempt to demolish the Taj Mahal, Unfortunately the airstrip he flew from is not represented. When I went into 'change location' and entered Agra I had to look twice to make sure that I wasn't seeing what I thought I was seeing.
  6. This reminded me that the fate of the sole surviving Beverly (XB259) is still very much in doubt
  7. Mooring at Weston could be tricky. When the tide goes out it goes out of sight!
  8. I've taken to going on Google Earth, spinning the globe and flying from whichever airport is nearest the hand symbol when the world stops. Today it was Katukurunda to Ratmalana terminating at Bandaranaike. Random chance gets me to fly from locations that I probably would not have thought of.
  9. One of my pet peeves as well! Quiet day in the garden then some smeghead on a motorbike goes past sounding like he's got a double wasp engine, you can still hear them when they're 3 miles away.
  10. As CRJ_simpilot says; what is in the event viewer? About a month back I had a series of crashes, not location or aircraft specific. The event viewer showed me the cause.
  11. My favourite Fly Tampa scenery. Fed-up with storm Ciara, looking forward to storm Dennis due at the weekend.
  12. lately I've been selecting places to fly from using Google Earth, I spin the globe and use the airport that's nearest the pointer when it comes to rest. Today it was Stebbins in Alaska. I got the WX from the web and the temperature was -8c. The OAT here is +7c and I don't like that! How cold is it where you are?
  13. This helped me when I started with ADE. Courtesy of il88pp The Fsx-Sdk is a toolkit that installs in it's own folder. Read the Wiki for instructions. Read twice, then do correctly. https://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/ind...allation_(FSX)
