"protocol" is the name of the .xml file that contains your definitions in the $FG_ROOT/Protocol/ directory, without the ".xml" suffix. So --generic=file,out,10,flight.csv,helidata would output to the file "flight.csv" using the protocol definition in $FG_ROOT/Protocol/helidata.xml Hope this helps. -Stuart > > Francois > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
