Hi Nick, I'm not familiar with MetaFlight at all so can't comment on it specifically, or the idea about making the functionality more general until I know more about what you have in mind. Are you thinking about providing an extension to osgDB/osgSim/osgTerrain that provides the framework for a 3rd party plugin to leverage to implement MetaFlight etc? Could you explain what you current class+plugin structure might look like.
Cheers, Robert.
