Hi all, I'm trying to make a simple application that just retrieves the FG status via the property tree. What I've done: I've started FG with the option --props=5400; I've startet a successful telnet session in the same host, and everything works fine. But I can't manage to make an app that does

[Flightgear-devel] [RFC] depreciation of --props option

2007-02-19 Thread Melchior FRANZ
I suggest to finally phase out the --props option. It's badly named and has been superseded by the --telnet option, to which it is identical: - properties ("props") can be read/set via other networking options, too, such as with --httpd, so the name --props is misleading - there's also the --pro

It appears that interest is coming from multiple directions, interest in upgrading the audio overall, plus particular interest in having usable ATIS audio. This is not unrelated to the effort to handle non-ISA-standard-day weather conditions, since if you're going to have a non-standard day, you n
