There is the protocol for sending data from flightgear via a LAN to a display machine. There are two data structures, opengc which is probably out of date and sync with the latest flightgear and a 2nd lfsglass which should work with 0.9-10.
Here is a short shell script for setting up the network calls #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/fgfs \ --fg-root=/usr/local/FlightGear --bpp=32 \ --airport=KSFO \ --aircraft=c310 \ --disable-panel \ --disable-random-objects \ --visibility=25000 --disable-clouds \ --httpd=6500 #--native-ctrls=socket,in,30,,5700,udp \ #--opengc=socket,out,30,broadcast,6000,udp #--native-fdm=socket,out,30,192.168.2.100,5800,udp \ #--native-fdm=socket,out,30,192.168.2.101,5900,udp You can also download a working fgfs and source from www.lfstech.com that was used at a Mathworks seminar last year.
