127.0.0.1 is your machine's localhost IP... this IP always exists and every machine has it to refer to itself...
if edtracker or opentrack (never heard of them) use http to interface with FG, then you would start FG with the "--httpd=5542" option in your additional settings file... that causes FG to fire up its built-in web server and any system on your network can attach to it and watch your FG... if they are running on your machine, they could use the 127.0.0.1 localhost address... if they are elsewhere on your network, they would use your (likely) RFC-1918 private LAN address... generally 192.168.x.y... in each case, the browser location bar would have something like
http://127.0.0.1:5542/an example of this is when my father was alive, i would go to his machine and launch his web browser pointing it to my system and port... then i would switch the Phi display to the map tab and he could watch me flying along seeing what i see on my screen... there was a 5 second delay in screen refreshes but it was good enough for me to show him things in FG...
[edit1] oops! --httpd= not --http=[/edit1]
[edit2] oops! 5542 not 5543... sorry [/edit2]

"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
