People familiar with Microsoft-based flight simulators, and addons, will typically expect a middleware like FSUIPC to be also required for working with FlightGear (FSUIPC is a mechanism to access simulator internals in FSX/MS FS).
However, FlightGear is open source and normally does not need such a middleware. In fact, most of FlightGear's internals are made accessible in the form of the so called Property tree.
Furthermore, the Property Tree can be exposed/accessed via various interfacing mechanisms, such as for example:
- a built-in web-server
- a built-in telnet (props) server
- an XML configurable generic protocol
- custom binary protocols
(to name just a few).
