Push your traffic to sky-high limits with the Sky Highway System, adding a multitude of fully automated flying sci-fi vehicles to your skies!
Just place a few waypoints and create bustling routes with a near unlimited number of high texture-detail, flying vehicles where each is just a single LI.
The perfect fit to make empty skies filled with life!
Also more cool vehicles found in the related items, like a fully featured police car, taxi or more super cars!
Features:
- comes with seven vehicle variants, each only 1 LI!
- included vehicles: "Arrow" (three colors), "Super" (three colors), "Cargo Truck" (single color)
- three waypoint versions (basic/invisible = 1 LI, fancy = 2 LI, fancy w/ sign = 3 LI)
- super smooth movement using the new keyframe-based motion (no physics required!)
- ridable! most vehicles can have a single passenger (no manual control)
- resizable with standard SL tools
- vehicles have futuristic sound effects
- materials enabled (requires Advanced Lighting on)
- copy & mod
How to use:
The vehicles will follow all placed waypoints in their point order, on their assigned route.
1.) Place as many waypoints as you like, creating a sort of path in the sky
2.) Check waypoint descriptions and make sure the "Point" numbers are sequential:
First waypoint should have "Point: 1", next one should be "Point: 2", and so forth
3.) Place as many vehicles as you like, in any variation, they will immediately start flying to and between waypoints, from first to last, then circle to first again (it's always circular route)
- touch the vehicles to make them stop/start manually
- touch the waypoints to turn some effects on/off or entirely invisible
How to use more than one route:
All waypoints and vehicles have a route assigned to them in the object description, by default it is "Route: A". You can make separate routes by changing that letter for the waypoints, and any vehicles that also have the same route assigned will only fly on that one route.
Vehicle configuration:
- change the values in the titles of the notecards inside the object to configure
- *speed = 3.0 (average travel speed on the route, in meters per second)
- *volume = 100 (controls how loud the sounds are in percent, 0 = mute, 100 = full)
- *emergency responder = no (is this vehicle a police/ambulance/fire engine? yes/no)
- *emergency rate = 33 (chance per round trip to fly with sirens on, in percent, 0 = never, 100 = always)
How to customize the waypoint sign text:
1.) Find the "animation_custom" and "animation_nolight_custom" textures in the package
2.) These textures are three animated textures in one, only edit the bottom third part
3.) Edit the bottom third part and paint any text you like over it
4.) Upload and copy the textures into the waypoint, deleting the old ones
5.) Rename the custom textures into "animation" and "animation_nolight" respectively

AMAZING!
its perfect
AWESOME
I LOVE that I can set up invisible waypoints at only 1 LI each!
I have a "gritty urban cyberpunk" sim that takes up all of one teensy parcel, and I decided I wanted to see flying cars anytime I look up. At just 1 LI per car, this was a no-brainer of a purchase.
Setup was dead simple. It looks like I put in a lot more work than I did. Cool concept, excellent execution, easy-as-pie for the novice designer.
Hot tips:
- If you can't remember where you put an invisible waypoint, try toggling transparencies with the ctrl-alt-t shortcut so you can find it a lot faster.
- If you do move your waypoints later on, remember to click on the cars to stop them and start them again. They'll refresh and adjust their routes with just a touch. (I didn't realize this at first, so, even though that's very "duh," I felt it was worth mentioning.)
Great stuff!
Looks very nice and it runs smoothly.
Quick response to questions and very helpful. Thanks a lot.
