Explore Des Moines Under a New Nighttime Light

Fly over Iowa´s capital city with a refreshed and more immersive nighttime experience.

Des Moines Region Enhanced Road Lights focuses exclusively on enhancing the road network lighting — city streets, main avenues, bridges, freeway interchanges, and key urban corridors throughout the Des Moines metropolitan area. The simulator’s default lighting is fully preserved, maintaining its original tone, placement, and recognizable visual identity. This add-on integrates seamlessly with the native lighting system, reinforcing realism without altering buildings, POIs (Points of Interest), or autogen elements.

Ideal for pilots looking for a clearer and more vibrant nighttime environment, this enhancement improves brightness balance and light reach, making the city’s road structure more legible and realistic from the air. Enjoy enhanced night immersion across the city center and river corridor, including Downtown Des Moines, Iowa State Capitol surroundings, the Des Moines River area, and key routes such as I-35, I-80, and I-235 — all while maintaining excellent performance and full compatibility.
