You may want to try setting up 2 uni-directional interfaces rather than one
bi-directional interface? I'm not sure if the bidirectional option has ever
been implemented for socket connections?

I should add that I'm running FG 0.9.10, which is a year old at this

Might this be fixed in the latest CVS? I'm just hesitant to go to the work
of compiling it without knowing it's been fixed...

Subject: [Flightgear-devel] Help with bi-directional TCP "generic"
protocol
Hi all,
I'm trying to use the "generic" protocol to interface with flightgear:
--generic=socket,bi,50,,5500,tcp,uavInterface
After starting flightgear, I'm connecting to it with a telnet client:
telnet localhost 5500
It connects successfully, but I don't receive any data. I've checked with
WireShark, and indeed FG isn't sending anything after the initial TCP
handshake. Anything I type is sent ok (according to WireShark), and FG
returns an ACK for each packet. The simulation fails to respond, however.
Any ideas? The contents of my XML file are included below.
Thanks,
Lorne
