OSM2city is not working anywhere

Postby Mister Sir » Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:42 am

Hello, I recently read the Flightgear Wiki page on OSM2city, saw the images provided and thought, "Wow, this looks amazing." I followed all the steps to make sure it worked but my buildings are still randomly generated.

I am running Flightgear 2020.3.6 on Windows 10 and an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 (Over clockable edition).

Can you specify where you tried it? OSM2city is not available all over the world if I'm not mistaken.

I do believe it is available everywhere https://wiki.flightgear.org/Areas_popul ... ty_scenery but I have tried it in New Zealand, California, Madrid, Toronto, Frankfurt, Innsbruck and Sydney.

First, make sure "Buildings" in your rendering options is set to "OpenStreetMap" and not "Randomly generated".

If that didn't work, try restarting FlightGear with Scenery Download turned on (so it will download the building data)
There are free alternatives to (almost) every program you encounter. You just have to find them.

Try the latest FG, 2020.3.9 (the web installer can update your existing install). I don't think 2020.3.6 and earlier has the code to decompress the TXZ files that OSM2City data is compressed as (and 2020.3.6 doesn't know about data folders like Details).

Which wiki page(s) did you read about OSM2City from? So it can be made more clear if needed.

Kind regards
