You don't need these many question marks (?) nor such many exclamation marks (!).
FlightGear only supports .btg files, as far as I know. These files are basically a 3d-model, while both JSON and .osm are only defining shapes. However, .osm files can and are used in the process of generating .btg files, see http://wiki.flightgear.org/Using_TerraGear for more information.

Thank You..
Can You mention the link for downloading .osm for large area data. While using OpenStreetMaps its allowing me to download only limited area,
For generating .btg files ,how are you collecting .osm files..

You can either download them from the overpass API (it's a link when selecting an area from https://www.openstreetmap.org/export) or using extracts from the geofabrik (http://download.geofabrik.de).
