Lottsa oddness going on in there.  :P

I see "Floating buildings" near the end of the video (?)  Is it some sort of interference between auto-gen and OSM?  Look near the bottom of the screen when the video is arriving to the end...

It's converted scenery. He warns to stay away from it because of all the problems encountered.

It's what I meant by lots of oddness going on. :-)

This happens when objects are placed at an absolute height, instead of relative to the ground ...

I suspect, that this might be an inherent problem with the fs2xp conversion. Depends on how MSFS specifies object positions (which I don't know!) ... if they are all at an absolute Z position, then the converter has no chance to make the right decision:

  • if it decides to make them all relative to the ground (if there is a correctly defined origin / center in the MSFS 3D objects at all ...), then objects, which are really meant to float (like some static balloons etc.) would be grounded too .. or if the center / origin of the objects is at an "unusual" position they might be halfway sunken into the ground.
  • if it decides to use the absolute height (which it obviously does), then you see what happens in the video

I think, this is one of the reasons, why converted scenery needs hand tuning.

Another problem I encountered is that a lot of "objects" are actually part of the same object file, so if you change the height of one to match its ground level, other stuff that's part of the same object will be off. This is especially noticeable if you have airport following terrain, and not completely flat like the MSFS it was designed for
