Is there a way to drive Flightgear with data from
another source. That is, write some kind of wrapper or
interface so that I can use flightgear to simply draw
an aircraft (with moving surfaces, gear, etc.) using
data that I supply it? I did a short look around and
didn't see any prominent links stating how/if this was
done. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks



Sure,

There are probably a number of ways you could approach this, but the easiest from the FG perspective would be to set up a copy of flightgear as a "slave" (see docs-mini/README.IO) and then have your external source send over "FGNativeFDM" packets (and optionally FGNativeCtrls packets if you want the control surfaces to be animated in the chase/tower views.)

Curt.
