March 21, 200521 yr Hi,I am wondering if FlightGear has the ability to read aircraft positions over UDP and/or output aircraft positions/characteristics over UDP?If not UDP, how about TCP/IP?Thanks for the help,John

There should be a file called "README.IO" in the docs-mini directory (I believe this is distributed with the binary, but if you can't find it, it comes with the source code.)This file explains briefly how to configure FlightGear in various input and output modes.You can use this basic capability to record and play back flights, you can sync up multiple displays together without any additional software, you can interface to external flight dynamics packages, you can build interfaces to control hardware, external operator/instructor stations, even browse through all the published internal values in flightgear with a web browser ... all kinds of fun stuff using the different interfacing capabilities built into flightgear.Regards,Curt.
