/*
	Modifications (last one on top):
		20101224 - WVR: Removed the QThread inheritance of the Base Class for the protocol-servers.
						Again, this drastically simplifies the code in the protocols.
		20101217 - WVR: Created Base Class for the protocol-servers. This drastically simplifies
						the code needed here.
		20101024 - WVR: Added shortkey to disable/enable one or more axis during tracking.
		20101021 - WVR: Added FSUIPC server for FS2004.
		20101011 - WVR: Added SimConnect server.
		20101007 - WVR: Created 6DOF-curves and drastically changed the tracker for that.
						Also eliminated a 'glitch' in the process.
		20100607 - WVR: Re-installed Rotation Neutral Zone and improved reaction
						after 'start/stop'. MessageBeep when confidence is back...
		20100604 - WVR: Created structure for DOF-data and changed timing of
						ReceiveHeadPose end run().
		20100602 - WVR: Implemented EWMA-filtering, according to the example of
						Melchior Franz. Works like a charm...
		20100601 - WVR: Added DirectInput keyboard-handling. '=' used for center,
						'BACK' for start (+center)/stop.
		20100517 - WVR: Added upstream command(s) from FlightGear
		20100523 - WVR: Checkboxes to invert 6DOF's was implemented. Multiply by
						1 or (-1).
