FSUIPC is a mechanism to access simulator internals in FSX/MS FS. People familiar with Microsoft-based flight simulators will typically expect a similar middleware to be used in FlightGear. However, FlightGear is open source and 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).
