Boeing's multipurpose viewer (MPV) was designed to simply be a test harness for the CIGI protocol. It's a far cry from it being used as a general purpose IG.
I've downloaded MPV from the CIGI site and played with it. It does use old OSG stuff (osgProducer). I had to modify it to use the newer osgViewer stuff. It also does not support osgTerrain type or round earth geocentric databases last time I checked. Lastly, the largest deficit IMO, is that it doesn't support multi-channel rendering with OSG...a big drawback. It does support multi-window rendering on one machine but not true "multi-channel" (i.e. a channel per box). In short, it would require a great deal of modification and development to bring it up to a point that it could be used as a commercial IG. One might get closer to the goal by making osgVisual talk CIGI... -Shayne -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Philip Taylor Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2011 6:49 PM To: 'OpenSceneGraph Users' Subject: Re: [osg-users] Camera control in osgvisual Last time I downloaded the CIGI source code it came with an OSG application .... MPV aka Multi-Purpose Viewer http://cigi.sourceforge.net/ Looking at the WIKI page at the above site, it states that it requires OSG 2.4 but will work with 2.6 - that makes it quite an old implementation but MPV is only supposed to be an example, with limited functionality. It would be real cool to have an updated version ...

I'll have to have a closer look at this when I have some time. Thanks for spending to the to develop an interface for this functionality; I think it will be very useful. -t On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 5:48 AM, Torben Dannhauer <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Tedzini, I'm not very familiar with CIGI, but it seem to be a communication library for communication with the sim-host. I'm quite sure you can use CIGI not only for managing the camera but also for managing objects you want to display. Currently osgVisuals "cluster" module is used to transport objects or camera modifications from the master to all slaves, but maybe that UDP implementation could be replaced by CIGI - it mainly depends on the performance.
