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.... 

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 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

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.

Looks pretty good!

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!

In speedbird's shot above here...... there is a large dark green area in the upper right hand side of the city pictured.  The dark green area looks like it would logically be a park within the confines of the city.

But it is covered with a "mesh" of streets breaking it up into small rectalinear segments....... that really look pretty un-natural for such a park-like area.....even in a city  

This seems pretty weird to me.  Is this how the "real roads" are in this particular area.... or it is another "bug" in the USA Roads overlay like the streets that go out into the ocean water and that run across rivers with no bridges?

best,

you know i gotta tell you...like so many other claims for add ons, this one too falls short...now dont get me wrong...i bought it and installed it the other day, and its "so so" in my opinion...roads are blurry until you are at least 3 or 4 thousand ft....the bridges now have concrete roads in the water right next to them, etc etc..ok....i still need to tweak, but, this add on reminds me of the "mega scenery" add ons that everyone seems to rave about; the fact is (in my opinion) that maga just produces mega blur just so we can have an accurate coastline,,,i loaded and reloaded mega twice, thinking i would grow to like it...i dont and now i deleted it forever...to me ,,the fs genesis and add on scenery freeware, airports, cities, etc landclass is the way to go....and those of you who say  "who cares, i'm always at altitude anyway" i say you still have to climb out and land and thats where the fun is,........so i happen to like decent 'clean' ground textures  i have a lot to say about all the claims made by these payware guys but for now i'll end this and spare you.

Speedbird, out of curiosity, what program do you use for saving jpgs?

I use Irfanview, and rarely have any that go over 100K.

The 3 that I found were around 110kb+

Not a whole lot over and not saying you would do it, but for some people if you give an inch they take a mile.

Apparently the US Roads screens take up A LOT of space.

Try posting them again Speedbird, maybe Irfanview will make them less than 100K.
