Looks great and makes XPX world look a bit more unique in certain areas. Before I felt like I was flying over one huge continent, now with this at least it will change the environment up a bit and make things more interesting. Good job!

Thank you!!! :)

 

I wish I would have more regional buildings I could implement... If you have some and want to share, please contact me!!

Looking forward to see how my Lisbon looks with the new OSM Europe + autogen, and these objects for Europe :-)

Flying gliders since 1980

And how does it look like?

 

One test flight was from Lisbon to Kiev, it should be looking good with osm+autogen, large forests are missing in osm.

Thanks for your post! :)

 

That's not easy, doing bridges with facades... It's better to create a landmarks scenery with all those special buildings in Europe: Cathedrals, monuments, castles, bridges and so on. I don't know the legal situation, perhaps it is possible to use Google 3D objects.

 

Has anyone experience with this? Or understands the TOS of Google Sketchup?

Yeah - google 3D warehouse is free to use atleast for freeware projects

Actually, there is a tool that already does this, available here:

 

http://members.ferrara.linux.it/cavicchi/GMaps/

 

There is an option in the config for it to fetch the 3D models as well as the orthophotos from Google Earth and generate X-Plane scenery. It takes a long time to run, but it produces some excellent effects, especially if you try and generate something like New York city which is completley populated in Google Earth.

Great source Tony! Thx!

Wow, thanks! I've tested GMaps long time ago to create photo sceneries, don't know that it now can extract objects from 3D-Warehouse.

 

it's slow, taken already 6h for 18 of 662 objects, but doesn't matter as it can run background. I'm curious to the result!

I am very curious as well. Looking forward to what you can see. By the way, are you downloading objects from a particular location?

Please let us know how it goes "in a few days" :-). I converted a few buildings from New York and it did indeed work, but it took a really really long time.

 

I've been trying out the OSM scenery in around some places in Europe, and where there is good coverage, the effect is really quite good, especially when combined with photo scenery

You could also try the Europe osm+autogen version in regions with less osm data together with "Europe Library" (and R2_Library). see this example for Barcelona where OSM data is only in some areas good:
