proposal

The advanced communication protocall for FlightGear provides a more powerful way than generic communication protocol of adding ASCII base or binary input/output ptorocall for socket, websockets, Sireal or USB communication, just by defining an XML encoded configuration file and placing it in the $FG_ROOT/Protocol/Advaneds or $FG_AIRCRAFT/Protocol directory.
