Hi, I happen to be an rc pilot myself and contributed some code to a popular model flight simulator called "crrcsim" (http://crrcsim.sourceforge.net).
To fly I almost always use a real transmitter (Robbe, Graupner or Multiplex), not using USB but using the soundcard microphone input and the teacher-pupil outlet that is found on many transmitters. In that case you don't need to modify any hardware : only select the recording source, adjust the input gain and you're done. To make this work, crrcsim uses a small external driver called "portaudio" by Joel Lienard and Lionel Cailler. I guess it shouldn't be to difficult to incorporate this into FlightGear as well. More info is available at http://www.portaudio.com Bye, Kees Lemmens.
