Sorry, I answered linux guy directly instead of answering to the list.

Hi linux guy,

Things are a bit quiet around here.  I've been away from coding for a 
while, so my input could be dated.  I wrote an app called QtJSBSim 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/qtjsbsim/ That uses UDP communication 
with JSBSim.  This may have some ideas in it that you could use.

My understanding is that you can have multiple input and output sockets, 
but each will need a different port.

I don't see how sending data from separate apps to a single UDP port 
read by JSBSim will work. JSBSim expects the data received at a port to 
have a particular structure, so it can't be made to read a weather data 
set and a controls data set at the same port.  You would have to combine 
the two data sets before hand then send it to a single port.

I hope that makes sense, and I hope it's correct.
