Re: Highways & Roads

[jrmorganjr]

Please pardon my late entry into this Forum. Is there a solution(settings) to
make the highways and roads sharper? Presently the highways and roads are
kinda blurry and not defined too well on my system using FS2K2. Thanks for any
responses.

Hi Stan --- Things are definitely different in 2+2. Roads now seem to be a
part of Land Surface texturing contingent on location. They follow the Terrain
Mesh better than in the past. They don't look too bad from a distance and at
night but they're certainly not your most attractive scenery to -- Say fly your
Helicopter around. There are some "rdb********.bgl's" now in FS2002 that, I
think, define all roads by land area/location. Until scenery "hackers" learn
how to manipulate them properly, 'looks to me like we're resigned to the old
style additions of FLAT roads only --- and that's a pain!

Thanks for the info. Hope some day someone will be able to make the roads and
highways more defineable. Sometimes the highways just blend into the scenery
and it makes it difficult to fly VFR from one city to the next. Like flying
from Chicago to St. Louis by following I-55. Thanks again and hope one day a
solution is found.
