Great thanks!
So, turning the view most probably no longer hangs due to generating mipmaps?!
That makes the open drivers actually more usable with flightgear.

You can work around that issue, when you make osg use complete texture loads 
instead of subloads for the fonts.
That still triggers the fallbacks but way less often.

This could be done with:
export OSG_TEXT_INCREMENTAL_SUBLOADING=OFF
