This scenery covers some parts of the Cuyo area (La Rioja, San Juan, Mendoza) and part of Chile (Santiago). It is generated using OpenStreetMap data.
The process exctracts landcover information from the OSM datasets (landuse, natural, water tags, etc) and uses Osm2City for line data and objects (roads, tracks, rivers, buildings, pylons, etc.)

Clone or download and unzip, then add the folder as a scenery folder in FlightGear.
IMPORTANT: The Details
folder must be renamed or linked to Obejcts
. If you already have an Objects
folder, copy the contents of Details
into it.
Use the --fg-scenery
option:
fgfs --aircraft=ufo --airport=SADF --fg-scenery=/home/julio/repos/scenery-cuyo
replace /home/julio/repos/scenery-cuyo
with the location of this folder in your computer
Add it to your .fgfsrc script, normally located in your home directory or folder:
...
--fg-scenery=/home/julio/repos/scenery-cuyo
...
If you use the FlightGear gui launcher, add the folder into Add-ons->Additional scenery folders
using the Add(+) button on the right. DO NOT use the Install add-on scenery
button! That button its intended for scenery packages, not folders.
As stated before, I use OpenStreetMap data to generate the scenery, so, if you want to contribute all you need to do is edit the information there (in OSM) and it will be included in the next run.
The most important information is landcover (residential, industrial, and commercial areas, forests, parks, ponds, etc.) and buildings.
