I fixed the problem by breaking the option strings into logical chunks. I.
e., Each major section gets its own string and print statement. While
this probably is not a good long term solution, it did get me up and
running.

Fascinating. That is very new information for me. Interesting that a
people who counted on their fingers were also able to figure out the
pattern to predicting Lunar eclipses (hence the reference in Daniel to
"magicians and Chaldeans").

Actually, there's a very good reason why we use a 360 degree circle.
This number has loads of small integer divisors. What's the inner

FWIW, JSBSim logs its FDM data in a configurable manner.

Oooh, here's a good one!
There *are* no unit names for angles. Angles are unitless numbers.
So to be strict, the SI unit for heading must be the radian. :)

First, let me point out the new telnet server is *very* nice. Bernie
has rewritten it based on the plib net libs. It can handle multiple
concurrent connections. This is a big improvement!
Along with this, Bernie has also provided a demo python script that
shows how you can use the telnet inter

Quint,
Here's an interesting option. Recently, I've been chatting with the
author of the KFlog project (http://www.kflog.org/)
I think it would be really useful and cool if we could get FlightGear
interacting with KFlog.

The new telnet server has really become nice. It's great to be able
to connect more than just once. :-)
But I don't like the new commands:
view set display view 'n'
view get return current view index
view current return current view index
