Is it me, or am I missing something?

Now that's interesting. I wish I had seen this BEFORE I sent my install to the grave.
I wonder if I just need to add UTX to get the river there?
Well, I guess I'll find out after I take on reinstalling everything later today.
Thanks for the help everyone. I'll let you know what happens.

Tom, sorry I wasn't able to post sooner before you dumped your FSX install.
My FSX is a brand-new install since March with SP2 and Acceleration. Me thinks MS just didn't put the river in. And you're right, it's there in FS9 although the mouth is strangely land-locked by a coastline glitch.

Yes, that's exactly what happened in many cases. When people immigrated to the US, they often brought the names of their home town with them. Often times the city names were also changed to reflect conquering of the homeland as well.

I was just stunned that a 5000-inhabitant village made spun off a counterpart in the USA.
Normally, all you get is Berlin, Hannover, Hamburg, Munich and other big cities...

I'd say, highly likely. Upper Michigan and northern Wisconsin (and even Minnesota) became the migratory homeland of many Scandanavians.. whith pockets of Italians and Germans.

Don't forget ND and SD. According to Wiki, those states have the highest percentage of german ancestry.

The same is true of the Mohawk River in upstate New York. Part of it shows in FSX but it disappears around Amsterdam, NY. With UTX, the river shows all the way to it's sources. The river is an important feature for VFR flying along with the NYS Thruway and the railroad tracks that run beside it.

Well, After uninstalling FSX and making sure all registry things were clean and all signs of FSX were gone, I went for a fresh install.
Got to the point to put in the product key and it tells me the I typed it in wrong or it's invalid!
THIS REALLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
Tried everything I could think, as far as typing it in different ways. Nothing. And of course I can't install Accelerator with the patches and such without a valid install of FSX.
Tried getting a hold of Microsoft, but it is a holiday.
So I uninstalled it again.
Not sure what to do now.
Any ideas? (constructive ones only, I've got the other ones handled)
