Hi Nurten,
FlightGear definitely supports multiple concurrent IO connections. There is
a slightly complex, but pretty flexible mechanism for specifying an IO
channel, what type of communcation will get sent over it, which direction,
and at what rate. Look for a file called README.io that briefly explains
much of this. In addition, there is a "generic" protocol where you can
create an xml file specifying exactly what data values you wish to send
across your IO channel. We don't have generic "USB" support, but if you
have a Serial -> USB device that looks like a com port on the computer side,
then that should work without any problem ... just be careful which com port
your usb device gets assigned to.
Regards,
Curt.
