[Flightgear-devel] osm2city.py

[Thomas A. <ra...@we...>]

Dear list,
in particular Stuart,

please let me 'officially' announce my project osm2city.py [1,2] here. This python script takes OSM floor plans and generates 3D buildings for use with flightgear. I'm planning to develop this into a procedural city generator which would take a street network and then reasonably places (random) buildings. The ultimate goal is (obviously) to improve FG's representation of cities.

It's at a rather early stage, and for the moment I prefer python for quick prototyping. BUT, I know quite some C/C++, and compile from latest GIT sources regularly.  In the future, I'm definately willing to move this into FG (in one form or another).

Tom
