# The main interface to the flight simulator.
#
# The \ref createSimulator function can be used to create an instance of
# the class that can be used to access the simulator. It expects an instance of
# the \ref ConnectionListener class, the member functions of which will be
# called when something happens with the connection to the simulator.
#
# The simulator interface is most often used to retrieve the state of the
# simulated aircraft. Instances of class \ref AircraftState are used for this
# purpose.
#
# This module also contains some definitions for message sending and implements
# the timing logic itself.
