Land covered roads

Featured Replies

Is there any way to "uncover" roads which are covered by terrain?  Here, if you go just off the 6/24 runway at KROA, you will see the road (interstate/freeway) covered as if there is a tunnel.  There is, in fact, a cut just off the west end of the runway through which the road runs.  In this area, with it's "old" mountains, there are many instances of this.  Has Laminar considered having roadways "follow the terrain contour" as they offer for runways?  I know, it doesn't have anything to do with the actual flying, but as a "low and slow" flyer, I like to see stuff.

But XP10 already does exactly that .... drapes roads with a large amount of visual trickery over the landscape (which works most of the times, and sometimes produces funny looking roads). So, it only might be, that your road is really missing from the scenery (or was marked in the source - which is Openstreetmap - as tunnel, or something like that).

Andras,

 

That could very well be as there is a tunnel under the runway on the other end and logic would say that it would be the same on the other end.  Thanks for making that clear.
