Telnet interface

Note that frequent polling via the telnet interface is not particularly fast, you mentioned in your source code that you are considering to use a different protocol. Just in case you aren't aware of it: more recent FG versions provide a simple "subscribe" command as part of the telnet system, so that you do not need to poll properties, but get updates automatically. Your source code at https://github.com/Juanvvc/FlightGearMap/blob/master/FlightGearMap/src/com/juanvvc/flightgear/FGFSConnection.java still seems to be using the original FGFSconnection code, you may want to add support for the "subscribe" command, which would be a fairly simple optimization.
