VDE LA Roads 2.0 – Graphics Mod Overview
VDE LA Roads 2.0 is a high-quality road texture mod for GTA V, widely used in both single-player and FiveM roleplay servers. It brings the roads of Los Santos much closer in appearance to real-life Los Angeles by overhauling surface detail, line markings, and regional differentiation.
🎨 Key Features
Ultra‑Realistic Road Textures
Includes detailed road surfaces with sharper lane lines, improved manhole covers (e.g., with realistic embossing like “Made in Mexico”), clean crosswalks, and more visually defined street paint.Regional Styling
Differentiates between Los Santos and Blaine County: city roads are clean and well-marked, while county roads show long skid marks and worn edges, adding realism to different areas.LOD Optimization & Performance Tweaks
A community patch improves performance by removing unused textures, optimizing level-of-detail (LOD) behavior, and boosting anisotropic filtering for better clarity at long distances.
⚙️ Known Issues & Fixes
Flat Reflections
Some users report that reflections on roads look flat due to missing road-normal LODs.Mod Conflicts
If you use other mods like NaturalVision Evolved (NVE) or LA Revo, ensure you don’t load multiple road texture packs at once to avoid conflicts.
