I see that every day you improve the scenery, good! I think you just need to put the dam at the end of the lake.

How on earth does 1 set the load order? i thought the game done its own thing at the start? ..Flying Big Bear is awesome so would love to get this going too
If you copied the L35 mod first, you shouldn't have to edit the load order. Otherwise you can manually edit content.xml or use a tool such as msfs addons linker
Your Content.xml should be here:
%appdata%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\
To modify the load order, just move the line with this package name to the bottom of your list.
