It was asked in the German fgfs forum[1] if it's possible to log internal data to an XML file. Sure is! :-) The attached file put into $FG_ROOT/Nasal/ starts logging to /tmp/data.xml as soon as the FDM is up (one data set per second) and stops when fgfs is closed. Because the 1 second interval

Those using kttsd (KDE's Text To Speech Daemon), for example, to let the konversation IRC client speak received messages[1], may want to avoid running the festival server with all its voices twice. The attached perl program festival-server pretends to be festival --server and hands all messages

It's now possible to put Nasal files into $FG_HOME/Nasal/, that is: ~/.fgfs/Nasal/ on Unix, and %APPDATA%\flightgear.org\Nasal\ on MS Windows. This has the advantage that: - one doesn't have to mix local extensions with standard files - one is less likely to lose such local additions when
