Hello
I am currently involved in a project to teach a flight simulator how to land with artificial intelligence and I am considering to use this flight simulator in the project.
Two areas are critical in this project:
1. Control the planes behavior/movement in real time
2. Read environmental data in real time (speed, height, weather, position etc.)
Does anyone have experiences with these two points? I would really appreciate if you could share your experiences! 
Kind Regards
