Problem

there were discussions on the devel list making OpenSceneGraph 3.4 a requirement, because as of 12/2017, FlightGear does no longer build with OSG 3.2.1 (i.e. Ubuntu LTS) - despite the commit logs suggesting so.

James mentioned big hurdles trying to fix the problem(s) with OSG 3.2, even asking on the OSG mailing-list where OSG 3.2 was apparently considered obsolete and essentially unsupported, so since most distros seem to offer OSG 3.4, it is likely to remain a requirement from now on.

This article details how to revert the corresponding changes to build FlightGear without HiDPI support, for those still having to use older OSG versions.
