OSG on top of plib. We still use plib for some things (the gui and joystick I 
believe). If you use CVS HEAD then OSG is required. There was recently a fork 
in CVS to separate the plib-only and the plib OSG versions. I believe that 
the plib-only fork will eventually be abandoned and/or merged with the plib 
OSG version.

Probably the most up-to-date documentation about Flightgear is located on the 
Wiki page. There's even a section about OSG:

Depends on the naiveness ;-)
