[simpits-tech] Cockpit Master update...

[Gene Buckle]

Ok folks, I reached a great milestone today:

Cockpit Master is communicating fully with the first flight simulator in 
the list. In this case it's FlightGear.

This includes multi-threaded Lua script.

An example test script I'm using:

-- Obtain the COM2 frequency and change it.
Com2Freq = cm:GetStringValue("COM2_FRQ")
cm:SetStringValue("COM2_FRQ", "118.700")

This script correctly obtains the COM2 frequency and changes it as shown. 
It was neater than hell watching FlightGear running in a window and seeing 
the frequency display on COM2 change when the script kicked off.

Next step is going to be basic hardware integration with the inputs from a 
Plasma-MM2.

The good news is that the REALLY hard work (knocks on wood) has been done.
