    EDIT: I realized I had an old version of the plugin installed. Everything seems to work with the newest plugin version. I am not sure about the velocities though, they look kinda sketchy. It seems to be producing some pretty big numbers that I haven't seen before.

    I tested the X-Plane 11 plugin with XP12. It patches, connects, and "works," but it looks like maybe they changed the order that the data is sent in the packets. Roll and Pitch are basically showing yoke position, and yaw is now on the sway channel. The other symptom is that using only packet 135 produces nothing. You NEED to have the SimDash and SimVibe packets being sent too.

    I didn't know if you were planning on updating this for simtools v2, or if you were targeting v3 for release, (or not at all.)

    Cheers,
    Tom

    X-Plane 11 is now completed for v3, I will take a look at X-Plane 12 as soon as it goes on sale. :D
    Seems like X-Plane 10 is not available anymore?

    Hello, I have the X-Plain plugin, I downloaded it a long time ago, and I don’t know what version it is, but I now have X-Plain 12, how do I know if it’s suitable for X-Plain12. Sim Tools game manager shows that there is a connection to the game, but the axes do not move.
