For my landscapes (NEVictoria2, SEVictoria, WVictoria) I use customised software to generate objects (houses, buildings, fences, powerlines, livestock) from openstreetmap data and other local Australian databases.

For example, NEVictoria2 has:
Buildings: 71412 items
Fences: 387117 km
Livestock: 356641 animals
Wind turbines: 0
Comms masts: 96
Low voltage power: 50944 poles/towers, 25897 km
Medium voltage power: 1977 poles/towers, 4138 km
High voltage power: 196 poles/towers, 2042 km

2. What is the best workflow for placing a lot of objects, houses, making airfields fast?

Great to hear and happy. Is this tool available somewhere?

Not yet no, there's a lot of code (maybe 5000 lines) and it's not quite fit for public consumption. I'll work on it if there's enough demand.

I am currently working on expanding the existing USAFA3/4 (3x3 tile) landscape to cover the greater Colorado area, 30x25 tiles. I plan on doing the base imagery at 2048 DDS resolution and upgrading any quarter tiles to 16384 DDS resolution if they contain airports.

I am using the turnpoint database on soaringweb.org created for Colorado Springs by Charlie Kaiser.

I have already modeled KAFF and various other airfields on the US Air Force Academy in high detail and will be working outward from there on new airports, as I work for the soaring squadron at the Air Force Academy.

If anyone has done work modeling this region please let me know so I can save doing work that is already done.

Edit: Discovered 25 tile limitation. whoops.
