FlightGear supports multiple concurrent IO connections. There is a slightly complex, but pretty flexible mechanism for specifying an IO channel, what type of communcation will get sent over it, which direction, and at what rate. Look for a file called README.IO that briefly explains much of this. | |||
In addition, there is a "generic" protocol where you can create an xml file specifying exactly what data values you wish to send across your IO channel. We don't have generic "USB" support, but if you have a Serial -> USB device that looks like a com port on the computer side, then that should work without any problem ... just be careful which com port your usb device gets assigned to. | |||
There is the native_fdm protocol to control FlightGear using an external FDM and there is the generic protocol that uses the XML configuration files. | There is the native_fdm protocol to control FlightGear using an external FDM and there is the generic protocol that uses the XML configuration files. | ||
