Fly over New Orleans and its surrounding region with a rich and authentic night-time visual experience.

New Orleans Region Enhanced Road Lights delivers a carefully designed enhancement to the illumination of one of the most unique and atmospheric cities in the United States, focusing on refining the lighting of its complex road network — from historic urban streets and riverside avenues to major highways, bridges, and interchanges that connect the greater metropolitan area.

The default simulator lighting remains fully preserved, maintaining its original color balance, tone, and placement. This add-on integrates seamlessly with the base system, enhancing the night-time atmosphere to better reflect the warm, vibrant, and slightly diffused glow that defines New Orleans — without modifying buildings, landmarks, or autogen scenery.

Light intensity has been meticulously calibrated to represent the city’s distinct layout, shaped by the Mississippi River and its surrounding neighborhoods. The result is a cohesive and realistic lighting pattern that highlights both the dense urban core and the sprawling suburban areas. Built with strong optimization, New Orleans Region Enhanced Road Lights ensures smooth performance across key locations such as Downtown, the French Quarter, Metairie, Kenner, and the wider metropolitan region.

One of its key features is the extended visibility range of road lighting. Highways, bridges, river crossings, and urban streets become easier to identify from higher altitudes, offering a more immersive and accurate experience for night-time IFR and VFR operations, visual approaches, and low-level flights over this iconic southern city.

For those seeking a warm, immersive, and authentic night environment that respects the simulator’s original aesthetics, New Orleans Region Enhanced Road Lights delivers a distinctive enhancement — expanding the realism and depth of the city’s nightscape while maintaining excellent performance and full compatibility.
