1. A system, comprising: a memory configured to store one or more definition files; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: parse the one or more definition files to extract flight control system definition data; determined based on the flight control system definition data a communication topology comprising a set of entities of the flight control system and communication links between said entities; generate programmatically based at least in part on the communication topology and message type definition data included in the extracted flight control system definition data a set of one or more routing tables including for each of a plurality of message types routing data to route a message of that message type; and generate programmatically, based at least in part on the flight control system definition data, flight code to implement a flight control system defined at least in part by said flight control system definition data, said flight code including code to route messages according to said one or more routing tables, wherein the flight code compresses the data at least in part by dividing a difference between an actual value and an associated minimum value by an associated resolution.
