**Mapview road shape sizes by Ice.**

AIpathOffset does control in game map size of roads. Here's pic of 8 roads

And the config I used.

<code cpp>

Once you get past 6 it seems to turn the orange "main road" white so width is road texture width, an AIpathOffset is in game map width + plus where they drive An to make matters worse, AIpathOffset = 5 would make AI drive middle of a 10 width road. But it also makes you in game map road a thin line.
