It would be great if someone in the community takes this challenge to develop a module able to read data from tabulars or CSVs from real FDRs, according with the FRED standard in terms of sample rates etc.....Its true that Xplane has a FDR module that is able to read parameters from a CSV later called .FDR file, but sadly the quantity of parameters is very limited, and the sampling rate is not appropiate if we want to respect the timing of the playback.
A module designed for people with low experiencing in coding....I do imagine a more intuitive and friendly user interface between the aircraft model (its moving elements as ailerons, gears, reversers, indicators, switches, flight dynamics, etc) and the data taken from a file, considering obviously, sensors type (unsigned, discretes, etc), parameter scaling, range, sampling rate...and so..
I could contribute with some old real FDR data for testing.
If this is possible, FG could turns out a very powerful tool for training, analysis and investigation.
