Thank you for your answers! I knew that this place was the correct place to ask this question :)
A client wants to use their old databases (dwb) with our osg-based apps. When I googled the dwb format, I found out that there exists a dwb->flt converter (http://www.agocg.ac.uk/reports/virtual/36/appendix.htm). But the link on this page is broken. It refers to the non-existing www.coryphaeus.com site. "dwb2oflt - converts DWB files to OpenFlight format." It seems that this converter was free for download. If anyone have this converter please let me know! Carbon graphics' software sounds interesting, I will investigate in this. A dwb plugin for OSG could of course be another solution (but a very time-demanding one). In this case, format specs. will be of high interest for us.
