I am not sure of this, but NASAL can listen for properties and then change properties, so if you can take actions based on a monitored property (for example, I monitor various orientation/navigation properties to implement GPS tracking in my autopilot) and set properties that play the sounds or move the aircraft, it may be possible. I just do not know if you connect to those actions from the script. Maybe if an animation is based on a property, you could change it from script. I believe the property may be read only. Perhaps it just reports the velocity, but setting the velocity does not side effect the aircraft. It would be interesting if features like this could be added to FlightGear by creating custom GUI interfaces and use NASAL to drive the feature. I built a GUI for some features of the autopilot I modeled for which the face plate does not have any controls.
