Microsoft published on github computer generated building footprints for various countries: USA, Canada, Australia and parts of South America and Africa. Thanks to user @ueid who did the script, we are proud that we now included these footprints into the sceneries to complete and fill poor OSM data.
An impressive number of 213,442,146 buildings are newly added to the continental sceneries.
See the difference for e.g. Oklahoma City:

The last months and weeks I generated > 100,000 tiles, some multiple times, and > 32 GB of data. And we reworked US houses and churches, thanks to Pete for his help. New versions 2.0 are available for
- X-AMERICA
- X-AFRICA
- X-AUSTRALIA-OCEANIA
- X-ANTARCTICA
- X-ASIA
Key features of the new versions 2.0:
