Hi all, Thanks for the help with the interface. I have it working beautifully now with 2 UDP connections as suggested. After some more tweaking Id like to contribute my FG UAV Interface code (in Java). It might save anyone doing UAV simulations with FlightGear most of the pain I went through. Where would be a good place for it?
Another question: Id like to simulate real sensor readings as closely as possible starting with an accelerometer. Real accelerometers measure a combination of orientation + acceleration. Im fully prepared to do this myself, but if theres already a FG property like this Id love to use that instead. Ive been looking at the property-tree documentation, but it's a tad incomplete :) http://wiki.flightgear.org/flightgear_wiki/index.php?title=Property_Tree Does it exist?

I've checked with WireShark, and indeed FG isn't sending anything after the initial TCP handshake. Anything I type is sent ok (according to WireShark), and FG returns an ACK for each packet. The simulation fails to respond, however. Any ideas? The contents of my XML file are included below.
