That's still to be developed, but fundamentally: migrate the aircraft to
gltf with PBR textures.

There's some instructions in the wiki on what options to set in Blender.

because OSG hasn't found a JPG library?

If you have compiled OSG yourself, please check the plugins.  If it's from
our CI, then that may need updating.
