Quick-Start

1. Install via pip: pip3 install flightgear-python

2. Write python code. See Simple FDM loop

3. Start FlightGear with the right options:

   1. If you’re using the FDM interface:

      • --fdm=null --max-fps=30 --native-fdm=socket,out,30,localhost,5501,udp --native-fdm=socket,in,30,localhost,5502,udp

      • the 30 in the arguments must match, so that the IO and the framerate are the same

   2. If you’re using the telnet (properties) interface:

      • --telnet=socket,bi,60,localhost,5500,tcp

      • The 60 is how fast FG will check the telnet connection (I think)

      • --allow-nasal-from-sockets (only needed for TelnetConnection.run_nasal())

4. Run your python code!
