July 30, 200421 yr Have it. Love it!Mostly like the completeness. Found exact location of every house I ever lived in, and that of relatives and friends as well. When I lived in Anderson, Indiana I had a long (500 ft) "S" shaped driveway, as did my next door neighbor. To my surprise, both driveways were there, mistaken in the program data, for roads. I was impressed...Also neat to see the new developments around where I grew up, in Palos Heights, Illinois. Haven't been back there for 25 years.A great nostalgia trip.Bob (Lecanto, Fl)
July 30, 200421 yr I don't use it because I don't fly in the States much, but I'd buy a Canadian version. It sounds great.
July 30, 200421 yr i just got it a few days ago. pretty cool. like everyone says, its accurate and i can find familiar locales without a problem.in my opinion, the biggest improvement is the night flying! southern california has never looked so good in FS. the highway system at night is incredible!chris
July 30, 200421 yr I am seriously thinking about getting USA roads but am concerned about all the posts I have read about getting stutters after installing the program. How many of you have ended up with stutters after having installed USA roads?Thanks Chuck
July 30, 200421 yr Hi all - I guess I should also ask why you're not using it, if you're not....? H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g
July 30, 200421 yr Hi Chuck -Probably only affected my old system by 1 or 2 FPS, if that; also, textures do take longer to load, but it hasn't caused any stutters.PIII 1.2, Win 98SE, 384 ram, Diamond Viper 770 Ultra 32>I am seriously thinking about getting USA roads but am>concerned about all the posts I have read about getting>stutters after installing the program.

July 30, 200421 yr >Hi all - >>I guess I should also ask why you're not using it, if you're>not....?Because I don't want to? ;) Actually because for me the value isn't there. It is not something I anticipate being able to get much 'joy' out of for $30. Better spent on a pizza and a movie ;)
July 30, 200421 yr Not using here either, don't plan to from what I have seen of close up shots. I have heard that you lose part of your autogen and I like the autogen very much, maybe it'll be default in the next version.Glad you are enjoying it.(now if it had moving vehicles on the roads, that would be the selling point for me ;-) ) Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/PBTMCa.jpgCalVirAir International VACalVirAir International Best, Michael KDFW
July 31, 200421 yr USA Roads is awesome for night flying... I feel I have a Photo realism for night flying for the entire United States.Don't need Megascenary or anything for night flying anymore... Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
July 31, 200421 yr Have it - Luv it.I wish they could create 'em for other countries as I would then use it as a 3-D map for exploring countries I haven't been. (wish they had one for Australia).
