Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for establishing communication between a flight simulator and a secondary control system, such as a Flight Management System (“FMS”). Information can be transmitted between the flight simulator and the secondary control system via a socket in a TCP/IP connection between the two systems. In the event that the secondary control system does not natively communicate in TCP/IP format, the information must be translated to and from the TCP/IP format. In this manner, an actual deliverable version of the secondary control system, possibly operating on can be used.
