This post will get X-Plane hooked up to Python.

I thought – “hmm how hard could this be to duplicate in a flight sim?”. I drive a little plane or car in the game to get around my base and I just added a plug-in that “snaps” the vehicle to a heading, which makes it easier to go in straight lines.
X PLANE 10 PLUGINS CODE
I got started thinking about writing some code for X-Plane while playing another game, Factorio.
X PLANE 10 PLUGINS DRIVER
More than one FAA-certified simulator setups are running X-Plane as the primary driver software. It is regarded as having one of the best flight models and has tons of options for getting data into/out of the simulator. X-Plane is a well-known flight simulator developed by another Austin – Austin Meyer. I’ve been a fan of flight simulators for quite some time (I distinctly remember getting Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 for my birthday when I was like 8 or 9) but have only recently started working with interfacing them to code. Today’s post will be about hooking up some Python code to the X-Plane flight simulator to enable development of an autopilot using PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controllers. You may connect multiple/as many fDeck applications to a single instance of X-Plane.Today’s post will take us in a slightly different direction than the last few.

X PLANE 10 PLUGINS DOWNLOAD
Download the plugin using the button at the top of this page.If you change the OBS for 'Slot 1' (using the example above), then in X-Plane the Nav 1 OBS will be set to the same OBS setting. The fDeck app will also drive the slaved instrument OBS setting. The fDeck app will automatically tune NAV1, NAV2 and ADF1 in X-plane based upon the slaved instrument slots set in the app.įor example, if you set 'X-Plane Nav 1 slave' to 'Slot 1', then whenever you tune a VOR in fDeck slot 1 it will also change the NAV 1 frequency in X-Plane! The plugin is provided free of charge, although the capability to connect the fDeck app to X-Plane for a period longer than 10 minutes is a premium feature of the mobile app. Our X-Plane plugin allows you to use the popular flight simulator, X-Plane to drive fDeck application instrumentation and map display as if you were flying a real aircraft.
