Hello,

I'd like to announce availability of ExtPlane plugin for X-Plane.
ExtPlane is a plugin for developers. It allows external programs
to read and modify X-Plane's datarefs using a TCP connection and
simple command protocol.

Creating a TCP client is much more easier than building a real
plugin. The external applications can be written using any
programming language and naturally be run on different computer
than X-Plane.

I hope this plugin is useful for other cockpit builders. More
features such as sending keystrokes and additional dataref
types will be added. Contributions are welcome.

Linux x86_32 binary built on Ubuntu Maverick:
