--infileinfile_name
Read GPS data from infile_name.
--flightflight_dir
Read GPS data from the flight directory named flight_dir.
--serialdev_name
Read GPS data from the serial device named dev_name.
--outfileoutfile_name
Save the data retrieved from the device to outfile_name.
--hertzfrequency
Specify the frequency to use for sending data to the FlightGear instance. By default, events are
sent at a frequency of 60 Hz.
--hosthostname
Send the data to the FlightGear instance running on hostname.
If --host is not specified, the default is to send the data to localhost.
--broadcast
Send flight data model and control data as broadcast packets.
--opengc-portport
Set the port OpenGC data should be sent to. By default, data is sent to port 6000.
--fdm-portport
Set the port flight data model data should be sent to. By default, data is sent to port 5505.
--ctrls-portport
Set the port control data should be sent to. By default, data is sent to port 5506.
--groundtrack-heading
Calculate the aircraft heading from the GPS velocity instead of using the raw heading recorded by
the device.
--ground-speed
Calculate the ground speed from the GPS velocity instead of using the raw speed recorded by the
device.
--estimate-control-deflections
Estimate control deflections from the angular velocities instead of using the raw deflections
recorded by the device.
--altitude-offsetmeters
Add the specified offset (in meters) to the altitude sent to FlightGear.
--skip-secondsseconds
Do not transmit the first seconds seconds of data.
This option is ignored when reading GPS data from a serial device.
--no-real-time
