With OSG 3.6, Aircraft {{tag|text}} animations will be broken <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/36240313/</ref> however: that’s the blocking issue stopping us moving to 3.6 everywhere. <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37147614/</ref> OSG 3.6 has the text display issue <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37126793/</ref>, currently osgText doesn't work under the ALS pipeline. <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37042335/</ref> one issue that seems to occur in a few places is missing text elements on cockpit devices ... There are [https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/flightgear-devel/thread/1362c1cf-e0e7-3774-da92-63b2720aab7f%40gmail.com/#msg36702528 issues with osgText not working in OSG > 3.4.2]. We need to find a migration solution for osgText that works with Compositor and newer OSG versions <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37047567/</ref> ... another option was creating a Canvas for each text animation, but creating a FBO for every small piece of text doesn't sound very performance-friendly. <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37042457/</ref> We need to find some way to approximate with the old OSG text did<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37042476/</ref> | |||
For the time being, we don’t (often) use OSG 3.6 - looking at the code on master (which became 3.6), there isn’t a single commit we can revert - Robert evidently did a lot of incremental improvements to the text code, adding support for other features and improving the shader support. Then at some point he collected a subset of those changes and back-ported them to 3.4 branch, which is what we revert in the commit on my fork on GitHub. | For the time being, we don’t (often) use OSG 3.6 - looking at the code on master (which became 3.6), there isn’t a single commit we can revert - Robert evidently did a lot of incremental improvements to the text code, adding support for other features and improving the shader support.
