All osm files (except Osm_Europe_osm+only) are updated to show autogen forests. Hope this will be the final version for now. 😉

A gallery shows now some screenshots of X-Plane 10 using newest osm and photo sceneries.

After hours of test flights thoughout Europe, a new facade set is available for both versions of Osm Europe, with improved colors, facades and roofs to get closer to reality. No need to dowonload the package, only the new facade set, just copy the folder into Osm Europe.

NOTE: If you download Osm_Europe_xxx now, you don’t need this, also you don’t need Osm_Europe_forests and Osm_Europe_objects, it’s all included! 🙂

All Osm continent sceneries have been updated, country sceneries have been deleted as they were a very old version. Only for Europe there will be 2 versions: osm+only and osm+autogen, all other continents have the osm+autogen, as the overall osm data may not be perfect.

Following changes are made to the previous version March 2013:

1. OSM data by geofabrik.de dated July 2013
2. Multipolygons are processed, that means missing (manily bigger) buildings and forests are now included.
3. Buildings and forests can have inner yards if they are made of relations in osm.
4. Smart exclusions to avoid penetration of osm and autogen objects
5. More 3D buildings, more tags are processed.
6. New facade set modified by Pascal Lachat

Thanks to Benjamin Blanchet (osm2xp), Henry Favretto (multipolys), Pascal Lachat (facade set) and Andras Fabian. Have fun using the sceneries! 🙂

The file OSM_Europe_forests has been updated. Changes are not only that the new version is based on actual OSM data June, 2013, also much more new (mainly bigger) forests were added, which are built of a set of polygons (so called relations in OSM), including inner yards.

This forest file for Europe is the first step to the new OSM sceneries, which will contain these forests, but also much more buildings with inner yards. Also new included are smart exclusions, that means where OSM data seems to be good, an exclusion for autogen objects is set to avoid penetrating autogen objects with OSM objects and to have also autogen objects in areas where OSM data is poor

So there will be only one version of OSM sceneries in future.
