Is there a way to export Object nodes instead of Mesh nodes when converting from OpenSceneGraph to OpenFlight?

Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do?

Mesh nodes were added to the OpenFlight spec in version 15.7, and it seems to me that the intention was to provide a replacement for the inefficient face nodes.  However, in our experience it seems like a lot of companies aren’t using mesh nodes, so I wanted to test data that contains the old style object->face nodes.

When you said "node" in your original post, I thought you were referring to OSG Nodes, not OpenFlight records. :-)
 
The flt plugin options are documented here:
(the wiki seems to be down at the moment, so I was unable to verify this bookmark.)
 
I think you want to have "version=15.6" in your Options string. This will export a 15.6 model without the Mesh record.

Fyi, the earliest supported version seems to be 15.7, so I'm not sure this method will work.

Good point. You'll need to modify the flt plugin to support the 15.6 version.
