X-Plane 12 Parked Vehicles

This add-on for X-Plane 12 introduces additional parked vehicles on roadways, enhancing the realism of your flying experience. By simply replacing a few files in the designated subdirectory, users can easily integrate this update, which is also compatible with X-Plane 11. Additionally, an option for improved night lighting is available for those looking to enhance their visual experience further.

Description

Tired of flying around X-Plane 12 with no parked vehicles anywhere to be found on the roadway below? I know I was, so I created this small edit. You have the choice of light, medium or heavy parking spots taken up on the roadways.

The installation process is simple, you'll just replace a few files in your 1000 roads sub directory of X-Plane 12 and BTW, thay also work in X-Plane 11.

NOTE: These are NOT 3D objects - These vehicles are painted onto the roadway and are flat, they look good from a couple hundred feet in the air.

Also note, the night lighting you see in one of my photos is also available for download, here is the link: Night Lighting Edits

Enjoy

Hi Jetseter, I followed your advice and broke the parked traffic into quarters. Thanks for the idea!

Hi Boss1, Ask and you shall receive, you now have the option of 1/4, 1/2. 3/4 and full for parked vehicles.

UKLL, To expect 3D parked vehicles throughout the streets of XP12 would drop the fps to single digits! Just running live traffic with 40,000 cars doesn't come close to filling in all the parking spaces. What you want is unrealistic.

Unfortunately, they are not 3D, as I initially thought. Nice idea, but just flat textures on all of the roads.

Would be nice if we had options for 1/4, 1/2 3/4 and 100% parking rates. Nice idea, from the air the streets look full.

Excellent idea, but is there any way to decrease the number of parked cars on the streets?

Great idea! Would be nice if this did not require modification of default files which gets replaced at every XP update
