Flight simulation and OpenStreetMap
Hello !
OpenStreetMap roads have already been used for years in flight simulation software like X-Plane thanks to tools like XPOSM or FlightGear (see the Wiki link here).
Now there's also a nice tool for converting forests and buildings from OpenStreetMap, and that makes virtual VFR flying a lot more interesting !
That's a view of Montigny-lès-Metz in France in X-Plane.
The software for building this scenery is called OSM2XP and it's available here:

Re: Flight simulation and OpenStreetMap
I discovered that using X-Plane with photo-sceneries, XPOSM and OSM2XP is a very entertaining tool to find duplicate ways in buildings (flickering textures), or to detect other errors. 
Here, you'll find some screen shots I made in Koenigsmaker, Magny, Piblange/Drogny/Bockange, Garche, Thionville and Saarbrücken/Rodenhof:

Re: Flight simulation and OpenStreetMap
Hello,
I've been working with Fly! Legacy (open source flight simulator) team to add openStreetMap data into their sim.
You can check some screenshots here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/flysimvol/show/
I'll now look at flightGear support for osm2xp.

Hello !
OSM2XP is now an open-source project (GPLv3) and it's available here:
http://code.google.com/p/osm2xp/
If you want to vote for FlightGear support, just do it here: 
http://code.google.com/p/osm2xp/issues/list (Issue 3)
More pictures are available here (X-Plane 10 + OSM2XP).
Best regards.
