I just downloaded and installed the new package from FSGenesis that is called American Roads.

Thanks for your thoughts...........

As a non USA resident I won't be D/loading anything of that size, however, it's nice to see where the technology is going.

Here is another example of the American Roads (and streams, and railroads, and utilities) add on from FSGenesis.  The thing I like is that unlike USA Roads...... the roads do not look like that are the most prominent feature of the landscape...... they are subtle.  On the minor roads... you have to search for them.... but they are there.  If you look in the field and building areas in the shot below... there ARE roads there.... but only the main highway is really prominent....... as it should be.

This was shot flying from KMTJ to KDEN today IFR on the WSPilots online server.

Good choice there Savas.  I really think this one is better from what I have seen.  But truly I have had to judge USA Roads from OTHERS screenies... since I didn't want to buy it based on the screenshots I saw.  Too "artificial" looking.

That's what I get for buying payware at 2:00 am.  This is the one I intended to buy, but I got USA roads instead...  ::)  I think I'm going to go broke here...  :P

One thing I love about it is the night textures and seeing the streets lit up like glow in the dark spaghetti ;D

Pretty cool to fly around Alaska and find a highway in the middle of nowhere  that leads to a city somewhere

I'm also seeing a lot of roads running across the middle of lakes, up the side of impossibly steep mountains, etc...  It looks bad.  ::)
