Hi Terry, I'm open to a MetaFlight support being integrated into core OpenSceneGraph release. I know very little about your code so can't comment on how easily it'd fit within the OSG codebase. I know of others that are interested in MetaFlight support so I'm sure there is scope for others helping out.
For me the first step would be to publish the code. github, googlecode or some other repository would be fine, but if it does look appropriate for merging with the OpenSceneGraph mainline it might be best to post the code informally and then let the discussion about it begin. Potentially we can add you as a wriiter for the directories within the OSG that it'd need. Robert.
