FlyByWireless.XPLM 1.0.7-alpha

Reference Packages

Microsoft.DotNet.ILCompiler must be a top level dependency for native AOT:

<PackageReference Include="FlyByWireless.XPLM" Version="1.0.7-*"/>
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.DotNet.ILCompiler" Version="6.0.0-*"/>

Implement

The plugin must implement FlyByWireless.XPLM.XPluginBase as XPlugin in its assembly root namespace:

using FlyByWireless.XPLM;

namespace XplTemplate;

sealed class XPlugin : XPluginBase
{
    public override string? Name => "Fly by Wireless";
    public override string? Signature => "hk.timtim.flybywireless";
    public override string? Description => "X-Plane plugin library template.";

    public XPlugin() : base()
    {
        // e.g. check for API support
        if (Utilities.Versions.XPLMVersion < 303)
        {
            throw new NotSupportedException("TCAS override not supported.");
        }
    }

    public override void Dispose()
    {
        // TODO: uninitialize
    }

    public override void Enable()
    {
        // TODO: start loops
    }

    public override void Disable()
    {
        // TODO: stop loops
    }

    public override void ReceiveMessage(int from, int message, nint param)
    {
        // TODO: handle message from aother plugin
        base.ReceiveMessage(from, message, param);
    }
}

Name and Signature fall back to assembly name and root namespace respectively when not overridden to return non-null values.

Publish

dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c Release

dotnet publish -r osx-x64 -c Release

dotnet publish -r linux-x64 -c Release

In Debug config, plugin error messages are written to Debug Output; if a debugger is attached, it will also break. An error callback could be installed in Release config too:

Utilities.ErrorCallback = message =>
{
    Debug.WriteLine(message);
    if (Debugger.IsAttached)
    {
        Debugger.Break();
    }
};
