Description Usage Arguments Details Value

This function creates a socket connection to the FlightGear props (telnet) interface, via which the property tree can be queried and/or modified.

`host`	Hostname/IP address of the computer running FlightGear and the props interface (default: localhost).
`port`	Port that the props server is listening on (default: 5501).

As soon as the connection is opened, the interface is switched to bulk data mode, and a help commend is issued. If FlightGear does not respond within 5 seconds with the expected help message, the function quits with an error. Otherwise the connection object is returned.
