Autogen
X-Plane's built-in autogen places generic buildings and vegetation based on land use data — but roads, railways, and waterways remain basic. Community scenery packages fill this gap with detailed infrastructure networks derived from OpenStreetMap and other geographic databases, adding localized traffic objects, realistic road hierarchies, and maritime routes.
- XPNetwork Europa — European road, rail, and maritime networks based on OSM
- Smoke & Steam for SimHeaven — Particle-based smoke and steam effects for X-World chimneys and cooling towers
- OSM Offshore Oil Rigs — Worldwide offshore oil platforms as heliports based on OpenStreetMap data
