The property browser window

The FlightGear property browser is a dialog used to browse, in-simulator, through all properties (internal, runtime state variables in FlightGear). The property browser can be opened with / (forward slash) or through the menu: File > Browse Internal Properties.

To set a property to a new value, select the property, fill the new value in the form below and click the Set button. To toggle values (like true/false), click on them while holding the Ctrl key.

Clicking the square in the left top of the window will copy the property browser. The right square closes the current browser.

The property browser is a very powerful tool when working in FlightGear, it has several very advanced and useful features that are not yet covered here which may however be useful during debugging sessions (there's for example support to trace properties and inspect registered listeners) . So, for debugging or development purposes in general, you may want to refer to this article's "discussion" page, where we are collecting additional resources about the property browser, please do feel free to add new links or integrate existing ones into this article!
