Yes that would be ideal.

Whatever you do in this direction, please try to keep it able to run inside fgfs as a thread, as well as living in its own process. We can easily short-circuit the networking layer to efficiently pass messages between the threads. If you need help with accessing other data structures (eg ground elevation) just let me know.
