FlightGear has what we (now) call a "telnet" interface to the property tree. You start FG like this (in versions 0.7.10 and earlier): $ fgfs --props=socket,bi,5,localhost,5500,tcp Then open a telnet client to localhost port 5500. Type 'help' for a list of commands. You can use this interface to write a perl/python/whatever script to get or set any values you want that are mapped to the property tree. This would be helpful for flight instructors that wish to alter envirronmental conditions (winds) or activate a component failure (which we don't have implimented yet). But, to go back to your original message, I think David Megginson had a better solution for the specific question you asked. I had forgotten about the logging facilities. -- Cameron Moore / Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, \ \ and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons? / _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users
