April 6, 200620 yr Hello,I have a question: I haven't used FG before.I need to test some processed flight data I have from an IMU:attitude information(pitch,roll,yaw) and position information(GPS(fictitious) referenced).Is there a way I can input this info into flightgear and have a flight respond to it?Thanks!p.s.Pl let me know if my question needs to be more specific.

You will probably want to check out $FG_ROOT/Docs (in particular README.IO) and the FlightGear mailing list archivs for details.>Is there a way I can>input this info into flightgear and have a flight respond to>it?Thanks!>p.s.Pl let me know if my question needs to be more specific.Well, most of this stuff is pretty specific, but these forums are actually mainly used by users (and not developers), also the forum isn't even officially supported by the FlightGear project, so I would recommend to subscribe to the FlightGear Devel mailing list, where more people participate and are more likely to be familiar with the specifics:http://www.flightgear.org/mail.html(you may need some patience, due to most of the competent folks being currently busy with the upcoming release, so don't be surprised if you should have to ask more than once)
April 6, 200620 yr Thanks very much,hfitz,appreciate your detailed reply.Yes,I've already mailed the list with the same question.
