Re: [Flightgear-devel] Access flight data with an external application in realtime.
I've done this but using the telnet option of Flightgear.

I was planning on using FG as a UAV test platform. The idea was to have a demo flight with takeoff and landing on about 10 minutes. And during that flight I would gather flight data with an external program. Data like GPS position, airspeed, height and so on. Is there an easy way to access different flight data from an external application during flight? The first way that come in mind is to connect to it in multiplayer mode. But, since I never have tested multiplayer, I don't know what information that is sent out to the other players. Or perhaps using the Paparazzi project to control the plane, and gather data from Paparazzi instead? Does anyone have any thoughts on how this can be done? I think the easiest way to proceed would be to use the FGNetFDM (--native) protocol or the --generic protocol (which allows you to design custom packets with the specific fields you choose.) Both of these can send the data out as UDP packets which then can be read by your external program using standard socket communication. This same basic mechanism also would permit your external program to send control commands so if some day you want to do some sort of hardware or software in the loop testing of your uav controller, that is also a possibility.
