This page is meant is introduce new FlightGear users to the PropertyList XML file format, this is basically an XML based file format specifically created for use by the FlightGear Property Tree.

Most configuration files in FlightGear are XML-encoded* property lists. The root element of each file is always named <PropertyList>. Tags are almost always found in pairs, with the closing tag having a slash prefixing the tag name, i.e </PropertyList>. The exception is the tag representing an aliased property. In this case a slash is prepended to the closing angle bracket.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PropertyList>
 
</PropertyList>
