BTW : I've seen some MSFS scenery that had street lights along a major road - it looked incredibly real and is a great navaid at night.

In real life I don't find it all that useful. The places that major streets tend to be lit are the places that everything else around is strongly lit as well, so they're not always easy to make out (except when they run through a park, greenbelt, etc.). The other problem is that the lit portions tend to be too short for any serious navigation. A busy highway with lots of headlights can help you get from town to town, but at any reasonable cruising altitude (i.e. 3000 ft or above) and in clear night air, you can see cities very far away anyway, so you can just fly from city to city and forget about the roads.



All the best,
