13# The main interface to the flight simulator.
14#
15# The \ref createSimulator function can be used to create an instance of
16# the class that can be used to access the simulator. It expects an instance of
17# the \ref ConnectionListener class, the member functions of which will be
18# called when something happens with the connection to the simulator.
19#
20# The simulator interface is most often used to retrieve the state of the
21# simulated aircraft. Instances of class \ref AircraftState are used for this
22# purpose.
23#
24# This module also contains some definitions for message sending and implements
25# the timing logic itself.
