In thinking about it a bit and being reminded of the existing HLA interface that FlightGear has, I'm leaning toward proposing something built with Python and the PyQT4 GUI library. Both components are cross-platform and there is a Python binding for the CERTI HLA library (PyHLA).
The idea here is to create a stand-alone application that replaces all the built-in GUI functionality and communicates with FlightGear via the HLA interface. When the manager application meets that goal, the existing GUI can be either removed completely or simply "unbound" at compile time so it's not available. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.simpits.org/geneb - The Me-109F/X Project Some people collect things for a hobby.
