The [[FlightGear]] '''property browser''' is a dialog used to browse, in-simulator, through all properties (internal, runtime state variables in FlightGear). The property browser cannot only be used to inspect all sorts of internal variables at runtime, but it can also be used to change most variables easily. However, some properties are so called "tied" properties which are directly mapped to internal C++ variables, so that they cannot be modified otherwise. | The [[FlightGear]] '''property browser''' is a dialog used to browse, in-simulator, through all properties (internal, runtime state variables in FlightGear).

In addition, even some non-tied properties cannot be modified because they are by default constantly written/modified by another subsystem (in C++/Nasal space), possibly updating properties at frame rate. | In addition, even some non-tied properties cannot be modified because they are by default constantly written/modified by another subsystem (in C++/Nasal space), possibly updating properties at frame rate, this applies for example to the frame rate counter, which is constantly updated by C++ code - so trying to set it from Nasal would be kind of pointless. | ||
