Default I found the missing bridges!

I found the missing bridges that everyone has been saying were missing.
They're in Des Moines, Iowa. I was just flying around there for no
particular reason and on the river there's no less than 4 bridges not more
than a few hundred yards from each other. Then to top it off there's another
bridge about a mile further.

For the people who said that there aren't any bridges, we now know the true
story. Iowa actually bought them, then disassembled and rebuilt them in Des
Moines!

Oh, on a trip from Chesapeak Bay, MD to Baltimore I saw a bridge that was
actually crossing a river, but unfortunately all the cars that needed to use
it had to be part boat, part 4x4 because the entrance/exit was in the river.
D'OH!

Talking about missing bridges. The correct Severn Bridge, Bristol Channel,
UK has gone from FS2004, it was there in FS2000.

Which is the 'correct' Severn bridge, then? Last time I looked (real-world)
there were two.... (not to mention 'The Bridge on the River Wye' groan)

If you want to be really picky, you could say that the original one is the
Severn Bridge (ex-M4, now M48)
and the other one is the 'Severn Crossing' (M4).

Maybe it's what the other bloke said - you need to set the scenery detail level
high enough before certain bridges appear (at the expense of frame rates
everywhere else... shrug)
