It still needs a bit of work though. One cannot change the aircraft or location at the moment through an external app. I also noticed that connections have a direction associated (in/out). To have a bi-directional connection does one have to use two seperate connections? Also is the hz parameter required? Isn't it event driven?

The way I see it is we can have a GUI that the user launches that in turn loads FG in the background. Similar to fgrun but with a live connection like the flight instructor type setup. When the user is done configuring aircraft, weather, etc they press a "SYNC" or "FLY" button and the changes are sent to FG and FG is told to pop up (brought to the foreground).
