In your case it's located in FlightGear/src/Network/net_ctrls.hxx and/or FlightGear/src/Network/net_fdm.hxx There is also a small example application located in FlightGear/examples/netfdm Erik -- http://www.ehtw.info (Dutch) Future of Enschede Airport Twente http://www.ehofman.com/fgfs FlightGear Flight Simulator Using Tomcat but need to do more?
