The ''generic'' communication protocol for FlightGear provides a powerful way of adding a simple ASCII based or binary input/output protocol, just by defining an XML encoded configuration file and placing it in the [[$FG ROOT]]/Protocol/ directory.
The ''generic'' communication protocol for FlightGear provides a powerful way of adding a simple ASCII based or binary input/output protocol, just by defining an XML encoded configuration file and placing it in the [[$FG ROOT]]/Protocol/ directory.
The generic protocol can be easily set up for both input and output. And it supports not just a single medium, but can be easily made to use files, FIFOs, sockets etc. The generic protocol is really good for things like exporting to a delimited ascii file for import into excel for instance.
