So called "'''fgcommands'''" are FlightGear extension functions which can be invoked in a number of different ways, such as embedded in various XML files (in the form of "action" [[Bindings]]), but also via [[Nasal]] scripts using the '''fgcommand'''() extension function. In addition, it is also possible to invoke '''fgcommands''' using the telnet/props interface, so that a simple form of "Remote Procedure Calling" can be implemented, i.e. triggering code via telnet to be run inside the FlightGear process. | So called "'''fgcommands'''" are FlightGear extension functions which can be invoked in a number of different ways, such as embedded in various XML files (in the form of "action" [[Bindings]]), but also via [[Nasal]] scripts using the '''fgcommand'''() extension function.
