Summary:
Background: I have a FlightGear recording which I want to replay using the --load-tape flag, and stream data out from the simulator (latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, etc) and send it to a TCP server by using the flag --generic=socket,out,20,localhost,8890,tcp,<config_file_here>. I want to be able to run fgfs on a VM so I can run the simulator and let my TCP server collect data from it without me having to be present (log in, run fgfs in the background, log out, log back in later to collect whatever data was saved by the TCP server).[1]
