Just wondering if you'll be able to provide a switch to turn off the roads with Megascenery ot would just layering it below megascenery ensure there isn't a conflict?

Megascenery should be at a higher layer, which would cover up the roads.

The transition should be better, due to the accuracy of the roads.

I have Megascenery and it is great but I wish it looked better at lower (Pattern) altitudes.  The USA Roads add-on will greatly improve navigation at the lower pattern altitudes.  But you say that Megascenery will cover up the roads.  Is there any way to change it so the roads overlay Megascenery?  That would be ideal.

I don't believe this can be changed.   The layer is hardcoded into the BGL files. 

To be honest, I am not sure that USA Roads will be any clearer at lower altitudes than Megascenery or any other enhancement that users photographic textures.

The texture resolutions in Flight Simulators are simply not high enough to allow for detailed low-altituded flights.   This is true for both photographic terrain and the roads that are drawn on them.
