In simulation environments using X-Plane as a visual system, the user will need to use sendPOSI to move the aircraft in X-Plane, but will also need to use getTERR to return the height of the terrain below the aircraft for landing gear reaction modeling. It is very useful to be able to do this in one step, so have created the sendPOST function that combines sendPOSI with getTERR. sendPOST sends a POST UDP message, which has exactly the same format as the POSI UDP message, just with a POST header. The plugin has been modified to interpret this message, position the airplane in the same way as sendPOSI, and then return a TERR UDP message. sendPOST then reads the TERR message and provides the terrain information to the user.
