O wow. I was not aware of the NASA plugin. I wanted to build a simple dashboard on a separate screen for a while (I run X-plane with a cheap projector which is good enough for the scenery but not for the 6 pack). Each time I explored this I end up with what seems to be windows-only solutions. The NASA plugin supports a Mac version and it exposes a bidirectional interface to X-plane served up through UDP.... then they provide sample clients. This worked out of the box, on the Mac I did have to run X-plane in Rosetta2 but I was able to wire this up in a Python web server (native) so now I can display flight data real time in a web browser, nice. Thanks for getting me on track and good job on the autopilot, will check that out later.
