Wow - XRoads

Featured Replies

XRoads hides autogen roads in X-Plane so that roads in the ortho can be seen.  A more natural appearance, plus parked cars and road markings become visible. 

I still can't believe how good XP12 is looking - it is stunning!

If you tweak it a bit, you can get them to seamlessly fade in at close distance so you still get the benefit of close up.

example of what that looks like in my mach round the mach loop video.

LOD of about 5000meters seems to work well.

see also the "endless tweeking" thread.

XP12 almost has enough good stuff now to justify recording that again with some clouds.

You can also get an addon called ‘better road traffic cars’ that works wonders too… especially for driving in Europe or the U.K.

Can XRoads be used in combination with XP Map Enhancement Tool? I don't see it mentioned in  the readme.

Huh...what a great find - roads are one of my few XP nitpicks.

Many thanks for sharing 👍
