title: Talking to Prepar3d/Microsoft Flight Simulator from *nix
body: <p>Is there a way to talk to Prepar3d/MSFS without using the SimConnect api so that I can do it from a *nix/any environment by doing something like opening a socket and talking XML?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a build of SimConnect that can be used on *nix enviroments?</p>
