So called "fgcommands" are FlightGear-specific extension functions which can be invoked in a number of different ways, such as embedded in various XML files (in the form of bindings), but also via Nasal scripts using the fgcommand() extension function. In addition, it is also possible to invoke fgcommands using the telnet/props interface, so that a simple form of "Remote Procedure Calling" can be implemented, i.e. triggering code via telnet to be run inside the FlightGear process. | So called "fgcommands" are FlightGear-specific extension functions which can be invoked in a number of different ways, such as embedded in various XML files (in the form of bindings), but also via Nasal scripts using the fgcommand() extension function.

Creating a new fgcommand is fairly simple actually. The source code you need to look at is in [http://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear/blobs/next/src/Main/fg_commands.cxx $FG_SRC/Main/fg_commands.cxx]. | Creating a new fgcommand is fairly simple actually.
