XPlane UDP

XPlane UDP Client for Node.js

Requirements

• NodeJS (v6.X.X)
• Xplane 11

Usage

// Import XPlane class from the package
import { XPlaneClient } from "xplane-udp"
 
 
// Create a client on a specific port (this is a value you define in your xplane game settings)
const client = new XPlaneClient(49000)
 
// Start the UDP listener
client.start()
 
// Subscribe to the updated event
// This will fire at the rate at which you send UDP updates (set in-game)
client.on("updated", (data) => {
    
    // Do something with the data
    console.log(data)
 
})
 
// You can also access the data directly from the client instance
callMeMaybe(() => {
    
    // Access data in the following format `<client>.data.<group>.<value>`
    console.log(client.data.time.real)
    console.log(client.data.airspeed.indicated)
 
})
