Thanks Leidson, I have seen the http and telnet interface and they are good. The problem is that it seems like you can only control your own plane in this way.
There is an "AI" node in the properties tree but I can see no way of adding aircraft at run-time and this is my main concern. Maybe I can be more clear: I will be reading sample data of aircraft tracking. Using this data I would like to create or spawn a new aircraft inside flightgear for each unique flight I find. After this I would like to update their positions whenever I find updated tracking data. Thanks for all the replies, Barry. -----Original Message----- From: "Leidson Campos A.

I did a C module that interacts with Telnet server of FlightGear and controls the flight using the telnet properties/commands. It works fine.
