Hi Stuart,
thank you for sharing this as I am especially interested in all scenery
which uses OSM data.
Last year I bought a cheap handheld GPS device and collected some local
data for OSM and uploaded them - but what a rapid development here
around Bremen until now, very very busy people improving the data every
day. Even forrests and rivers are represented in a very nice way in the
local dataset.
That is why I hope that in some years - regarding the poor man-power,
only 2 developers - we can use OSM data at good data-represented areas.

Hi All,
For my own amusement, I generated some scenery for Scotland using the GSHHS
coastline and OpenStreetMap for roads. Scotland greatly benefits from using
GSHHS coastline, as the VMAP0 data doesn't include many of the small islands
on the west coast. There are sufficiently few roads that the OSM dataset
works quite well also - you can even see some roundabouts!
Yes, saw them - and the difference between normal streets and
motorways (double lines). Moreover those streets are smoother than the
ones we have now.
For those who might be interested in doing some flying in Scotland, it is
available here:

Many thanks to Roland Haeder for hosting it.

The fact that I was able to generate scenery using TerraGear for amusement
is a testament to the effort that the Custom Scenery team
(http://www.custom-scenery.org/) have made to make TerraGear easier to use.
Many thanks to Martin and Ralf for their work.

Thanks a lot to all who are working for or supporting getting OSM data
(not only streets) into FlightGear.

(Beside this, simflying this scenery is a real joy as the landscape is
fascinating, especially the contrast between sea and mountaineous areas.
I hope you'll spend some more nice models for this area, the scenery
deserves it :-) )
