You can now use the Start/Stop button to launch JSBSim standalone as a separate process. The stdout from JSBSim will be echoed to a QPlainTextEdit widget on the main UI.
Press the "Connect" button to establish communication with JSBSim.
The controls tabs at lower left now contain more ways of sending control data to JSBSim.
Note that to terminate JSBSim cleanly you should send it a termination signal (either the keyboard "t" key, or the "Terminate JSBSim" button) before stopping socket communication. Otherwise JSBSim will get a kill signal when QtJSBSim exits.
The ini file, qtjsbsim.ini, is included in the source directory. Please edit mainwindow.cpp, line 84, to set your path to the QtJSBSim source directory. I chose to do it this way because the default behavior of QSettings is to look for the ini file in hard to find places on various OS'es.
Please send me feedback.
