Hi, I've been looking for a couple of weeks now, trying to find information about how to control FGFS from external flight data, such as airspeed, altitude, attitude, etc. which are fed by UDP packets. All I could find was to use external flight model of some sort, by typing at command line "fgfs

New version up, I think I will call it stable now. I haven't changed the behavior today, just cleaned up the code and hopefully made it a little leaner. Would someone like to commit this now? Josh ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@fligh
