Hey I see my street Grin

Looks pretty cool compared to the default roads in FS9. I think I might consider purchasing this in the near future.

Thanks for posting them Air!!!

I installed "USA Roads" last night and I`m very impressed with the effect.

It seems to have every road in the the Cotinental US rendered and accurately placed!
In fact, the abundance of roads take a bit of getting used to  at first after beng accustomed to the sparse, default (and often inacurately placed) roads

Also, "USA Roads" is highly configurable and you can choose all roads, major roads only,  or just the MSFS default roads.
You can also chose the type of night lighting, traffic density, etc.

Yes, "USA Roads" is an expensive add-on but, highly worth it IMO if you routinely fly VFR.
Even if IFR is your thing, it can dramatically change the aproach view from the cockpit.

There is a "down side" however. Since all roads are so accurately placed, it becomes blatenly obvious at times just how inacurately the default river placements and shorelines can be.
This can result in roads running in rivers and roads crossing rivers correctly along side the inacurately place and rendered default crossings and bridges.

 

Home airports are KMGJ and KSWF in Orange County, NY&&Stop by and say hello. Smiley
