My current topics/fgcom branch already include a CMake flag (-D ENABLE_FGCOM) 
at OFF by default.
I think a simple --enable-fgcom will be efficient . I don't know how to make a 
cross platform process for now. Can you confirm me that you are ready to accept 
a similar solution as QProcess in Qt ? In this way FGCom will lives in a 
separate PID, the problem being : what happens to this separate PID if FG has a 
crash ? He will become a ghost and make the network port busy, right ?

What about implementing an SGProcess ?

FG/FGCom are ready for 8.33KHz spacing. It require a little change on Asterisk 
side (118.305 = 118.300, 118.330 = 118.325, 118.355 = 118.350 118.380 = 
118.375) but the main problem is that X-Plane data are not yet ready for 
8.33KHz spacing. Here is some examples :

ICAO :: apt.dat => possible frequency

EDFA :: 12103 => 121.030 ? 121.035 ?
EDCQ :: 12338 => 123.380 ? 123.385 ?
EBAV :: 12343 => 123.430 ? 123.435 ?
KSPI :: 13141 => 131.410 ? 131.415 ?

That's why we need to wait the next APT format who support 8.33KHz spacing 
(i.e: add a new digit in the frequency field)


Cheers,
Clement
