This probably doesn't fit your requirements exactly, but
for an example you might want to take a look at the following

JSBSim
- a FlightGear FDM - apart from driving FlightGear, can also be run by itself in
a standalone application in a sort of batch run mode. This is useful for testing
and development. To *really* get some good functionality out of standalone
JSBSim required us to develop a scripting capability as well as inherent
autopilot functionality. As I have mentioned before, JSBSim + script +
autopilot =~ GNC, where the scripting provides "G"uidance, the FDM provides
"N"avigation, and the FCS/Autopilot provides "C"ontrol. To see what an
autopilot definition file could look like, see the simple wing leveler put
together completely in a configuration file using JSBSim flight control building
blocks (components):
