"As far as I can tell this will require some code modifications if you want
to use direct serial communcation."
Yeah I figured that, hmmm I'm not very familiar with FG's source code at
all, and I downloaded the exe, can any of you make a suggestion as to what I
might attempt to correct?
"What properties are you importing into FlightGear? You can open up the
property browser and check to see if they are being changed as you expect."
I included the xml file I am using in the email, and I'm afraid I don't
know how to open up the property browser, but I'll look at the documentation
and check.
