I'm using shapefile vectors to add freeway traffic over my Resampled imagery. I have about 20 different shapefiles compiled into 1 bgl with shp2vec. Everything works as expected but I have one vector line that should be one lane of traffic. The problem is that when the database file is set to 1 lane nothing shows. If I set it to 2 lanes it works just fine. I've tried many different remedies but nothing works. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
FSX Freeway Traffic 2 Lanes Ok, 1 Lane nothing shows

After more than a month of working with freeway traffic I believe that I have some explanation to my own question. It seems that the presence of single lane traffic is dependent on three different factors. The first is road vehicle density. Dropping the setting below 50% will definitely cause single lane traffic not to be displayed when dual lane traffic is. This doesn't mean that no single line traffic is displayed but that some of the single line traffic will not be displayed. Generally the shorter the vector line the less chance that it will show. Secondly is the length of the vector line. Lines shorter than 1/2 of a mile may never show single lane traffic even if your density setting is 100%. Lastly is where along the vector line that the traffic spawns. Traffic doesn't necessarily spawn right at the beginning of the vector line. If it would spawn too close to the end of the line it may not spawn at all.
