World2Xplane Users?

[Pieces]

I ran into the sparse OSM buildings too. There is a setting in the configuration file called "smart exclusions". Turn that on, and you'll get normal auto-gen when there is no OSM data.

Ok, I downloaded all stuff and gave it a shot for California and New Jersey since it looked like NJ had a lot more complete OSM data. I must be missing something. Is there a way to keep the regular autogen buildings intact where there are no buildings specifically mapped on OSM? I'm only getting buildings that have been individually placed in OSM.

Yes, if this happens you need to open the resources folder in the worldxplane folder and go to the config file. You need to set smartexclusions from FALSE to TRUE. The edited value will look like this:
<smart-exclusions>true</smart-exclusions>

Like I said, its in the config file iin your application/resources folder for world2xplane. Change this value then run the generator again. it will have the regular autogen buildings populate.

Excellent! Thanks, guys. I'm sure that was in the instructions somewhere that I did not read Off to give it another go. I've been mapping a little in my neck of the woods and excited to see what happens.

Did you get it to work right? I just wanted to add that W2XP adds its own roads as well. The xplane default roads handle interchanges and jughandles visibly a lot better. You can rerun the generator and change these two values from "true" to "false" as shown below in the config file:

<!-- Make sure you enable this if generating roads -->
<exclude-network>false</exclude-network>

<!-- EXPERIMENTAL road support (If using, ensure you enable network exclusions -->
<create-road-network>false</create-road-network>

If you are on Windows, you also need to remove everything about vectors for powerlines etc from inbetween the following fields at the bottom of the config otherwise the generator will fail if you disable roads:

<area-type>industrial</area-type>
</rule>
(THIS IS THE SPACE WHERE YOU WOULD DELETE ALL THE DATA)
</rules>
</xst>

I've done some work in osm around my neighborhood...meh. Not generating what I would hope to see. building types are wrong even when they are tagged as 2 story houses. I've got to do a little more reading to better understand how all this stuff works together.

Its still in Beta and some areas are better than others. As more world models are developed, you will see more building types and more accurate representations. Actually right now, European countries probably have the best. U.S. is lagging a little bit but it has caught up alot from last year.
