Comments on: Beta 11 Will Have Major SDK Changes https:/2013/01/beta-11-will-have-major-sdk-changes/ Developer resources for the X-Plane flight simulator Sun, 13 Jan 2013 22:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Derald https:/2013/01/beta-11-will-have-major-sdk-changes/#comment-6746 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 22:53:44 +0000 http://xplanedev.wpengine.com/?p=4695#comment-6746 It probably has something to do with the fact thst if I need a plugin for XYZ feature to work I’d just write the plugin, as opposed to writing an overall plugin methodology. I suppose it would take far longer to write a framework rather than just getting my XZY feature to work.

It’s sort of astonishing to me that the community hasn’t produced such a thing, given that the tools to do so have been around for a full decade.

X-Plane has an UDP ouput system, which is limited in terms of number of variables (data refs). Also the byte conversion thing is a little hard for most people to use.

Then there are all these plugins from outside developers, SASL, Pyton script, UIPCX, flyWithLUA and more. Sometimes working sometimes not.
Respect for the people making those for free, but it would be very nice if X-plane had a simple native way of data output/input directly linked to datarefs. Based on simple text or string and an UDP TCP server or/and plain textfile.
