Hi,

I now have flightgear running with the latest CVS and have a good 
understanding on how to use the program.  I am now into coding in 
Flightgear.  I have added to menubar.xml and have bound the commands to 
some functions I have created.   I am now working on creating the 
autonomous flying aircraft.  I want to start off with the 
aircraft getting its jobs from a postgres database.  I am thinking of 
using postgres because of its support for gis data using the postgis 
module.  These job could be in the form of an airport id or (lat, 
long) to fly too.  

To begin a prototyping I was thinking of copying the 
behaviour of autopilot when add to waypoint is called.  I have traced the 
code to void AddWayPoint(puObject *cb) in auto_gui.cxx but that is when 
the code gets confusing because the old method of displaying a 
dialog box is used.  Is anyone who understands this code willing to step 
me through the process of obtaining waypoints and 
using these waypoints to decide the heading of the plane and overriding 
other inputs while in autopilot?

I may have missed some documentation that describes this so please point 
it out if I have.

Seamus
