+I've attached my sample code which works with FlightGear v0.9.3.  Perhaps this
+will be of some help to others.  I'm running FG with the launcher wizard, which
+uses the below command line options.  The sample code I attached just rolls
+back and forth <20> 5 degrees so it isn't that interesting, but it works.
+
+C:\Program Files\FlightGear-0.9.3\bin\Win32\fgfs.exe
+  --fg-root=C:\Program Files\FlightGear-0.9.3\data
+  --fg-scenery=C:\Program Files\FlightGear-0.9.3\data\Scenery
+  --aircraft=c172
+  --control=joystick
+  --disable-random-objects
+  --fdm=external
+  --vc=0
+  --bpp=32
+  --timeofday=noon
+  --native-fdm=socket,in,1,,5500,udp
+
+One point of interest is the cur_time field in the FGNetFDM structure.
+I noticed that it didn't seem to matter what time I passed in.  In looking at
+the source, it appears this field is ignored completely.  So, it looks like the
+time of day would need to be determined by the command line parameters used to
+launch FlightGear.
