I'm going to be connecting flightgear to a motion platform, propably through UDP. I'll need at a minimum yaw, pitch, roll for the aircraft and g-forces that the pilot is subject to. If this could be done in a FDM-independent manner that would be nice but isn't necessary. I don't know how the motion platform needs this packaged yet. Logging to a file would be an acceptable first step.
On a separate note, I'll also be attaching an Intersense 3-dof motion tracker to control the pilot's viewpoint. Suggestions on that would be helpful too.

JSBSim (like FlightGear and it's parts) is very configurable. If you want to output to a file or through a socket, that can be done easily. If you want to extract values at runtime programmatically, that can be done as well. If you can elaborate I can help you more.
