[[FlightGear 1.0.0]] (released in 2007) was the last public release to use PLIB for the 3d scene graph, before the the transition to OpenSceneGraph ([[OSG]]). FlightGear still uses PLIB for various tasks, for example reading joystick inputs and showing a graphical user interface (GUI). In the latter usage, the PUI component of PLIB will be replaced in FlightGear with [[Canvas|Canvas 2D rendering subsystem]] and [[Nasal|Nasal scripting]] to improve the GUI beyond what PUI offers. | [[FlightGear 1.0.0]] (released in 2007) was the last public release to use PLIB for the 3d scene graph, before the the transition to OpenSceneGraph ([[OSG]]).
