Usage

First of all you need to launch FlightGear with the --telnet option. i.e.

fgfs --telnet=10000

where 10000 is the telnet port to listen to. After launched flightgear, launch fgfuse like this example:

python fgFuse.py 127.0.0.1 10000 /tmp/fg/

where

  • 127.0.0.1 is the address of the pc running FlightGear
  • 10000 is the telent port which FlightGear session is listening to.
  • /tmp/fg/ is the empty directory that will be mounted

when finished unmount the folder with this command:

fusermount -u /tmp/fg/
