The problem looks to be the known OSGText coloration problem seen with newer versions of OSG... OSG changed the way that it does the colors and the old OpenGL style is no longer used by OSG... FG simply hasn't kept up with all the changes in OSG... this problem has been around since i came to the project 4 or so years back... none of the devs have had the time to refactor the way FG handles OSGText so here we are... someone will get to it one day... for now the main project uses an older version of OSG with the breaking commit reverted... the PPA does not and neither do most of us building our own binaries..<ref>https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=353286#p353286</ref> | The problem looks to be the known OSGText coloration problem seen with newer versions of OSG...

Linux distros provide decently recent version of OSG, which means, flightgear in distro is currently broken by this. Indeed, if even OSG-3.4.1 is breaking the text animation, look how many distros are distributing flightgear already broken (as linked to the distributed OSG)<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37149005/</ref>: https://repology.org/project/openscenegraph/versions | |||
So we need to do some Real Work (TM) to support Canvas with osgText 3.6 and upwards, unfortunately.<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/36730965/</ref> | So we need to do some Real Work (TM) to support Canvas with osgText 3.6 and upwards, unfortunately.<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/36730965/</ref> | ||
