Please use caution when adding screenshots of cities or USA Roads. These normally cannot be saved as 800 x 600 with normal resolution as they will be way over 100K each. Thanks ---SaVas


I have been thinking about downloading the add on for FS9 " USA Roads". http://www.flight1.com/

Am I glad I did !
Below are a couple of screen captures over Chicago & LAX. It really makes it a joy to fly visually at 10,000 feet. You can see all the roads and highways.....

Is this some kind of ad?

I bought that to...all I have to do is get F$2004....

Is this some kind of ad?

Yeah right..
Just thought I would ask if anybody else has tried this program. I debated a while before buying it. Now I wish I had gotten it a long time ago. I hated flying VFR and not seeing the roads to navigate by. NOW I CAN !

And no I do not work for the company. Wish I did, maybe I could get some of the other ad ons for free....  ;)

Yeah, I just bought this as well and installed last night.

What a huge differnce, especially if you fly VFR. I posted a thread with some screen shots of Spokane and someone from there said he could pic out his street from my pics  :o

Nice, too bad it's for FS9 or I'd buy it! I'm not going to get FS9 untill the price drops at least $10.00.

It does look good but the only thing I dont like about it, is it looks like wire mesh put over the landscape. Need to change the coloration a bit so all the roads are not the same color

it is nice but with the job lot installed total overkill take some out just leave the main highways in then get the updated textures and colours...and bingo..much better

So you can set this addon to the roads you want, like all highways, or add side streets etc?

Unfortunately I deactivated US Roads on my machine last night. It will stay that way until there is a fix for the coastlines and then a fix for any affected scenery.

I was flying around Pittsburgh the other day and noticed roads in the rivers and roads crossing rivers right next to bridges. In short it looked horrible and ruined it for me. I went to the support forum and apparently there are problems like this in other areas since the default coastlines are off by so much.
Shame, I really like the product when it works but this problem just spoils the whole experience.

The two options are Major Roads and All Roads.

Looks pretty good!

I just broke down and got USA Roads.  Very nice. Glad I did it.  Looks great.

Hows it look at night??
How frame rate friendly is it?
Are there cars on them roads?

I have the money ready for purchase but am still wondering how well it works with other add-on scenery? and I was waiting for it on cd, no way I'm downloading it!

Great shots!
