I live on 389 acres or so. No neighbors. NO lights, it is so dark out here. I love astronomy.

My friends kept trying to bring me these little stupid lights to light up the driveway and walkways. I was like I do not like the lights, I love it being dark. You would totally miss the place if you did not know exactly where it was.

I kept (accidently) running over them with the mower he got the idea to not buy anymore.

Which brings up another shortcoming of FS 19 - it doesn't get dark enough at night.

The street lights get me, most small towns I have ever been in don't have so many, but I remove them in the editor.
Western PA for the win.....some of the roads round here are one lane two way.

I'm an Over the Road truck driver by profession... I have seen SOOOO many narrow winding roads, especially in the Mid-West, its ridiculous. Some parts of Ohio and Indiana have such narrow roads its next to impossible to get two 18-Wheelers past one another... Cars I think would even be pretty sketchy at the posted speed limit passing by each other.

I grew up in the sprawling plains of Oklahoma and have taken a Steiger Tiger down a dirt road just barely wide enough to fit the duals between the canyon walls that made up the sides of the road. Also have many times had to find a place to pull over to allow traffic to pass. Favorite was looking down into the cabs of passing Semis though.

I don’t know how many times I’ve had to be completely in the ditch with a “small” MF 3690 to let traffic by because the roads are so narrow. I have to drive 20 minutes in a truck just to get to a wide 4 lane road.

The only time in the US that a one way anything has a yellow line on the left is on a freeway.

I do agree though that on Ravenport there should be no lines at all except on the main road that runs through town.

Road width doesn't annoy me so much as wrong markings and failure to Yield or Stop by all the AI traffic. And the Honking of Horns even when they are at fault. lol

Sounds pretty realistic to me. I see this all the time in the real world.
