hi,
i am developping a flight simulator with unreal engine and i want to integrate jsbsim for realistic behaviour :
and i would really appreciate if you can help me on this because at the moment i cannot figure out how to :p


i have some specific questions :

- how the main program communicate with jsbsim ?
- how to send user input to jsbsim for calculations? during main progam loop ? etc
- how to get the data back from jsbsim to update the plane location/orientation etc
- how to handle ground action callback, for example when the airplane touch the ground during landing ?

any help is welcome thanks

JSBSim is a stand alone utility which is used by FlightGear.
For most JSBSim relates questions you would probably be better off at
it's own development list:

Project homepage:
http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/

Mailinglist:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jsbsim-devel

Now for your question, you could take a look at how FlightGear is doing
it by examining the example files supplied by JSBSim:
https://sourceforge.net/p/jsbsim/code/ci/master/tree/examples/

Especially the copy_to_JSBsim() and copy_from_JSBsim() functions.
