Re: [Flightgear-devel] Multiple IO
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 It should also be possible to use some daemon talking to FlightGear using TCP or UDP and then get that daemon to talk to the USB device.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Multiple IO
Hi, I am new to Flight Gear. I would like to connect more than one device to Flight Gear and run it in almost a real time environment under Windows XP (I am a hobbyist trying to make my own toy plane). Does Flight Gear support simultaneous multi serial Input Output ports and USB connections? If not how do I do that? What parameters do I need to pass to FlightGear or where about do I need to modify the code to enable flight gear to do so? I will appreciate a reply for a direction or a hint.
