Fly over Seattle, Tacoma, and the Puget Sound region with a refreshed and immersive night-time visual experience.

Seattle–Tacoma Region Enhanced Road Lights transforms the nightscape of the Pacific Northwest by enhancing the lighting of its intricate network of roads, highways, and urban routes. From downtown Seattle to the Tacoma waterfront and the surrounding metropolitan areas, every major connection and arterial road now shines with renewed realism and visual coherence.

The default simulator lighting remains fully preserved — keeping its natural tone, color temperature, and placement — while this add-on builds upon it to elevate the overall night ambience. The result is a lighting system that feels truer to reality, especially under Seattle’s unique weather and atmospheric conditions, all without modifying autogen, landmarks, or terrain elements.

Light levels have been finely tuned to ensure a balanced and believable glow across the region’s diverse topography — from the dense urban grid of Downtown Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma, to the I-5 corridor, SR 167, and the smaller suburban routes stretching toward Everett, SeaTac, and Federal Way.

One of the most striking improvements is the extended visibility range of the lights. The road network now stands out more clearly from higher altitudes, offering a vastly improved experience for IFR and VFR pilots, visual approaches into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA), and low-level scenic flights along the Puget Sound.

Optimized for performance, Seattle–Tacoma Region Enhanced Road Lights maintains smooth frame rates even in the most detailed urban areas. It delivers a vivid and cohesive nocturnal atmosphere — enhancing realism while staying faithful to the simulator’s original aesthetic.
