REALIST ROADS IN FSX? Look Again!

Featured Replies

It just look like the roads in FSX are not as realistic as advertised and I hope there will be a 3rd party guru to clean up this "realistic" roads and align them as they they ought to be, based on the realistic ones:http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s133/di...16-39-17-46.jpgThanks for viewing and for your comments.dito

Roads are not great in your shot, but what I find even more disturbing is the lack of scale-consistency between the textures. It appears the "shopping mall + parking" texture is way too smal compared to the "residential neighbour" texture, or the reverse.This spoils down the advantage of XY mm per pixel precision and I've never really noticed this in FSX before.

It's also a problem in FS9 when using something like UT USA and is the reason I like to switch those roads off.

Don't know if there would be a solution for that.Currently..., Data is taken from a database and then a grey paint is smeared on the data points. Even though the data points maybe accurate, its ugly.When I was using Flight1 Roads (later to become Ultimate terrain), it was very very nice at night. Night lighting was accurate... but during day time, it was ugly.Wish some genius would come up with a good solution.Manny

If you press "A" three times (I believe) from the exact position of your screenshot, it will switch to an areal view like in my screenshot.dito

It's peobably a function of resolution: with FS9 4.8m resolution misalingment between the vector roads and background urban grid isn't so obvious. Step it up to 1.2m in FSX, and now it is more clear.scott s..
