I have had U.S. Roads and Rails (I think that's what it is called) freeware sitting in my storage folder for months now, downloaded from FlightSim.Com. I'd REALLY like to see the highways below, and even more important, the U.S. railway network. The documentation states: "Must have the payware U.S.A. Waters."
?!?
OK...so...every month or so, I go on a "Google It" binge looking for the "payware U.S.A. Waters" and have wasted my last batch of hours "Googling It," as the saying goes. Hard question arises: "Just go Google It." LOL. Sob.
SO...has anybody heard of U.S.A. Waters payware? Who makes it? Where it can be found? I'm suprised that the documentation for a file that is not really all that old would simply state "Must have payware USA Waters," rather than "Must have Joe J. Jackson's U.S.A. Waters found at Planes-R-Us.Com." Or...something semi-helpful like that?
Does anybody have this, or know where it can be gotten? Or, has anybody installed the USA Roads package WITHOUT the payware "Waters"
It explains how to back things up, and I suppose I could install the USA Roads freeware, see if the water and highway/rail misalignment is severe (like, for example, having the LA to San Diego Amtrak "Pacific Surfliner" rail line and the Pacific Coast Highway sitting out a quarter of a mile off the coast of California or something.
This is just the program that I've been looking for...and can't use it due to "err...incomplete documentation." (Am bottling up the profanity flowing through my brain). I've already cried, so, I guess it is time to laugh about it. HA! HA! HA!
Help!!!
Or...without buying a photoreal overlay of the world that would consume more of the hard drive than the sim and all other addons combined and drive framerates into the single digits, does anybody know of any OTHER program that displays the U.S. highway and railroad network, raising the roads and rail lines from the tiny dark smudges that they are on the base product? Fly over the stock roads and rails (yes...there are some RRs that I can identify in the stock scenery, being a railroader by profession) with a helicopter or small plane (not into small planes but I do like to fly BlackHawks, Hueys, and the Sikorsky VH-3D "Marine One" quite a bit...a good companion piece to Gary Carlson's Air Force One and Air Force Two/VIP Transport VC-137Cs and VC-137Bs...I've been intending to post a screenshot montage of the USAF 89th Airlift Wing over the generations, blended with the VH-3D SeaKings which date back to the VC-137C days, though the original but almost identical VH-3A airframes built in 1961 are now in such places as the Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan Presidential Libraries (as many of you may know, VC-137C SAM 27000, the 1973-model B707-320B has been restored in glistening glory along with one of the older Sikorsky SeaKings and an F-14 Tomcat to boot in the beautiful Air Force One Pavilion Annex to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum in Simi Valley, CA).
I'd like to fly over the highways and tracks, if only anybody can help!!!
The freeware road/rail files are: USARoad1.zip, USARoad2.zip, and USA3.zip.
