Furthermore there are some other users working with '''Osm2city.py'''. A Python script used to improve generation of urban areas for the FlightGear scenery, with buildings, roads, rail roads, and objects based on Open Street Map real data. Developer oriented users will find interesting information in how to generate new areas in the FGWiki page of the [[Osm2city.py]] project.
For the regular user, also, there is a dedicated FGWiki page with a list of [[Areas_populated_with_osm2city_scenery|Areas populated with osm2city scenery]] where you can download many of them. Among others San Francisco Area [[KSFO]] and Boston Logan Int [[KBOS]]
