Examples of FlightGearMotionSensor

jaron.autopilot.FlightGearMotionSensor

The FlightGearMotionSensor connects to the FlightGear flight simulator and provides its motion data. FlightGearMotionSensor runs as a thread and by instantiating it waits for the incoming connection from FG (at port {@value DEFAULT_PORT} bydefault).
The instantiating has to be done before FG starts up, or else FG reports a connection error and terminates.
Be aware that running FG and a Java application that uses the FlightGearMotionSensor needs a computer with sufficient performance. The consequence of a lack of performance is, that some of the data sent by FG could be lost because of timing issues. In this case you could run FG and the Java application on two different machines via a network connection.
