Hi Willy, i think you use custom fs install which removes those high voltage lines, i remember i removed those files and i too only had moving lights at night, as i reinstalled flightsim recently roads become full of static cars at daytime (thats of course is my stupid opinion and not proven fact).

Thanks, I got it sorted out and installed.

The 3d cars show up not just on main highways, but also on 2 lane roads and there was a couple on the street that leads into the local airport.

Pic 1 is is a 2 lane country road near here. Pic 2 is Interstate 40 near Jackson and Pic 3 is I-40 at night showing the lights.

Thanks Kikas for bringing these to our attention.

Decided to take the plunge and downloaded the one from the 2nd link. I like the headlight effect at night, and seeing the cars on the road during the day.

Also spotted traffic lights that go from green to yellow and red and back to green. My only niggle and it is a minor one is that the rate of the headlights moving along the roads appear to be faster than they should at altitude.

I think this is a keeper. Thanks for the headsup!

Moses, I saw those lights in a town and couldn't figure out what they were. I was thinking something to do with helicopter pad landing lights

Appreciate the heads-up. Downloaded both links and installed accordingly. Tried a night flight. I do believe my flightsim experience just got a little bit more immersive tonight. Saw some 3d cars and the lights moving down the roads. It was cool. Bra-vo.

Just wanted to add that they can be seen when on the ground and at 17,000 feet.

I got the first one downloaded with no problems. The second site has six downloads to choose from. Obviously the last one's not the one we want - it has to do with sounds. Which one of the other five is the one I should download from the second site?

***Willy*** · June 25th, 2012, 13:17

This one:

	Scenery updates. [For FS9] Various interesting add-ons and scripts. - Update for the default roads FS9. Adds vehicles and night lighting. - Lendklass emirate of Dubai, UAE. - Patterns of fields in Russia and Asia. - A small update to the script UVGG Nizhny Novgorod 'Strigino' from Gary.

You'll need to be able to open a .rar file. I had to go find a program to do that with.

Willy, Warhorse, Stuart & Moses! Earlier in this thread E.Matheson stated that these effects DO NOT work with Ultimate Terrain.

Should I conclude that none of you have UT installed?

I don't have Ultimate Terrain installed. I have Silver Wings [sheepish grin]

Me neither. They work fine with GE-Pro though.

***Willy*** · June 25th, 2012, 23:33

No Ultimate Terrain here either. I'm using a mix of Silver Wings, Golden Hawaii water, Raimondo Tabueret world mesh and other bits and pieces I've picked up over the years.

(to be honest, I don't really know what Ultimate Terrain involves)

***Moses03*** · June 26th, 2012, 07:50

No UT installed her either.

I installed the FS9_Roads package....and WOW. The little 3D cars rock...and the moving lights at night really add to the realism of my sim. One thing however.....the autogen file (default.xlm) has the entries that result in icebergs being strewn about on land. I will have to modify that file to get rid of the icebergs. I have no idea why MS felt the need to put icebergs all over the land but none on the oceans (well, there may be icebergs out to sea someplace...but since I don't fly out over the oceans, I will never see them).

Or if you lazy like me you can disable default.xml there's no changes in traffic all cars are on roads like they been before
