Fly over Istanbul and its metropolitan surroundings with a renewed and authentic night-time visual experience.

Istanbul Region Enhanced Road Lights brings a significant enhancement to the illumination of one of the world’s most historic and vibrant metropolitan cities, focusing exclusively on refining the lighting of its extensive road network — from central urban avenues and historic districts to major highways and regional routes connecting the vast Istanbul metropolitan area.

The default simulator lighting remains fully intact, preserving its natural color, tone, and positioning. This add-on seamlessly complements the existing system, enriching the overall atmosphere to more closely resemble the true night-time glow of Istanbul — all without modifying buildings, landmarks, or autogen scenery.

Light intensity has been carefully balanced to create a consistent and realistic visual grid that reflects the dynamic energy of the region. Designed with high optimization, Istanbul Region Enhanced Road Lights ensures excellent performance even across dense and detailed areas such as Sultanahmet, Taksim, Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Beşiktaş, and the broader metropolitan region spanning both sides of the Bosphorus.

One of its most notable features is the extended visibility range of road lights. Highways, bridges, interchanges, and city streets are now easier to identify from higher altitudes, offering a more realistic and visually rich experience for night-time IFR and VFR flights, visual approaches, and low-level routes across the city and surrounding districts.

For those seeking a refined and immersive night environment that respects the simulator’s original aesthetics, Istanbul Region Enhanced Road Lights delivers a stunning enhancement — expanding the realism and depth of Istanbul’s spectacular urban nightscape while maintaining excellent performance and full compatibility.
