David,

        At work, I run a proprietary FDM on a Sun Workstation and feed the 
data to FlightGear.  I use the '--fdm=external' and '--native_fdm=...' 
options (--native_fmd= uses the same parameters as --native).  I did 
make some changes to Network/native_fdm.cxx to properly manage the 
byte-order issues, but it works like a champ.  IMHO, --native_fdm= has a 
cleaner interface than does --native=.  To see the data structure that 
the FDM needs to generate, look in  Network/raw_fdm.hxx.

p.s.  I have submitted my edits.
