My name is Joe and I'm a Computer Science student stuck inside a Mechanical Engineering student's body

My design class is working on a motion flight simulator and I volunteered to work on the software for it. So here I am!
I imagine I'll be around more than a little in the coming months so I figured I should say hello!
While we waited to get our supplies in I'm going to be messing with the software and I was wondering if there is a way to display the data X-Sim is pulling from the game graphically so I can get a presentation together for the donaters who are funding this project.
Look forward to seeing you all around the boards!
Joe
