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

Enjoy the solares >> Sky Highway System!

I wanted to use these flying cars for ages, but only now cleared my sim to be able to make a fresh start with a futuristic look. These are great. I'm so glad Solares exists to have content like this. They're easy to use too.

Lowprim, Lowlag, works perfect, easy to set up, adds so much atmosphere to a SciFi Cyberpunk Build, amazing. I run 3 different routes in my build and it looks so nice. You can even sit on a vehicle and take a tour :)
One thing... adding more then 30 wayponts causes to system to stop working. But thats not an issue since 30 wayponts as more then enought to build ONE of many routs.

I do also have all vehicles and Thats the only critique I have... beside seting up different speed and seting the vehicle to a specific route, they all come with the same engine sound effect. At this point I would have whished for different sound at different vehicle types.

Really recommend this! I needed something to make a single car train travel around a sim and this was perfect. It works perfectly as is, and with modding, I was able to use my own vehicle! Set up and customizing was very easy.

Great Product at a overly great price

I was looknig at this for my build. from the pics this looked as if it was in a flat altitude so wasn't sure on it. I did manage to IM the creator who took no time at all in getting back to me and assuring that the routes could change altitudes. when after purchasing i found out was indeed true. This highway works great and as designed. I would highly recommend this to anuone doing a sci-fi build.

Neat little system with a great resulting feel

Being able to individually set speeds and such for the vehicles really makes for a solid aesthetic, giving life to a scifi area and making it feel more 'lived in'. I love that you can ride them too!
