Traffic patrol above Atlanta


Recommended Posts

This is a PTA preset with AS4, ASCA, and the preset is from some guy named CptVince on YT.  So I tried his preset and I like it.  Soon with JJ's help, I'll be adding ENVTEX.

 

But this is Orbx Global - NA L/C - Trees - P3Dv4 

 

I never have cars on so I wanted to test FPS so I set them to 100%!  And even at that setting it's still not like Atlanta during the day, triple the cars and it would be more realistic.  But it was fun to see all the vehicles because I never ever do this.

 

First, over KATL, the clouds, sky and haze look really nice.

Now for the traffic patrol, it was fun to see the cute cars driving along.

This is I-85 and 285

Nice one's jack. Maybe the traffic reflected a lazy Sunday afternoon as far as density goes. I use road traffic all the time and really don't see much of an impact in v4 as I did in v3. Same situation with ships and boats.

I just want to add that I wish there was a Slower Traffic mod that worked worldwide. I have tried the one Orbx did and also changed the xml to make traffic slower, but it only seems to work in certain areas. I sometimes see the slowed traffic and in other places they are racing through city centres at 100 mph.

Thanks JJ, I think I'll keep it on but at a lower setting, it adds depth to an otherwise empty world as I don't have an AI traffic program yet.  I noticed that too, sometimes they zip around like they're trying to out run a cop.

Super shots Jack, and looking at the way some of those

cars are driving I would rather be where you are my friend.:huh:

cheers

Gumby

Thanks Gumby, you should see the way they drive here.  Everyday there's several deaths on these roads because they drive recklessly.

There sure is, sometimes it takes me 3 hours to go 30 miles with all the wrecks and traffic tie ups.

A really nice set Jack and yes you are correct about the traffic.  That's why every time I was heading North from Pensacola I would go through Atlanta about 2-3 A.M. to avoid spending half my travel day in Atlanta.  The traffic there is horrible and this coming from someone who grew up in between two major cities (Washington D.C. and Baltimore).

I gotta deal with it almost daily.  It's horrid with all these reckless drivers causing so many wrecks and trying up the highways.  Some have nine to ten lanes and it's still bumper to bumper.  Good plan to drive through in the wee hours, you're right, it's pretty sedate and fast then.

Never seen that much traffic in FS, thanks for showing Jack!

Thanks Erik, I haven't either.  In 3.4 I probably would have OOM'd.
