Hi Cameron,
Hello, Frank. I'm Cc'ing the flightgear-devel list in case someone
wishes to add anything to my comments. FG developers: please Cc Frank
with any replies.
Could you point me to where I might find how to write an autopilot for
an FG model?
To my knowledge, there is no documentation on how the autopilot works
or how it communicates with the FDMs. There is, however, plenty of good
source code in src/Autopilot/.
Are there standard programming interfaces to allow another program to
read control inputs and generate control outputs (for example from
take-off, through a seriew of waypoints, through landing)?
Yes. The standard inferface for just about everything in FlightGear is
the property tree. Look in src/Autopilot/newauto.cxx at
FGAutopilot::init(). That should give you a general overview of how and
what the current autopilot gets and sets in the property tree.
If you have anymore questions, feel free to join the developer mailing
list. Thanks
