If you’ve ever flown “low and slow” in X-Plane 10 (especially at night) you will be greeted by road signs on the major freeways and highways. The text on the signs is often nonsensical, but their appearance adds a great deal of realism to the flight experience. It would be great if MSFS could add such a feature.
One of my favorite things that MSFS lacks!
Unnecessary performance hog I think. Over 50ft who is going to see them.
Maybe in the later development stages when the majority of bugs and other things have been sorted? Not critical at the moment but a good idea for a future date.
A graphical slider in the options menu would give simmers a choice and also the ability to reduce or eliminate any performance hit.
I would be surprised if they added much load though. I’ve recently started seeing those power pylons dotted around, and my frame rates don’t seem to have been impacted at all.
A little rectangle on a pole, with LOD applied, won’t do much to your frames, and you’ll only see detail once you get further down anyway. Their additional load, tiny though it may be, would likely be lost by the increase LOD of all the other things surrounding them, like roads, buildings, and the like.

Yes, I like the idea of a graphical slider! Good suggestion.

Well it’s 2023 and we have official Helicopters now. Seems like a good time to get some road signs in so we can follow them VFR.

But even more than that, I miss the trains. These were promised, but they have not yet been delivered and we no longer hear about them. Nothing will come of this either, 2024 will only keep up the pretence for a while that they are still improving. Meanwhile, they are not even correcting long-standing mistakes.
