coreDS™ X-Plane – Supported Datarefs

The coreDS™ for X-Plane Plugin supports one type of incoming object, “Multiplayer_Aircraft” which represent a sim/multiplayer/ aircraft. Below is a list of Dataref that can be updated from an external provider:

plane_lat Plane Lat degrees Float
plane_lon Plane Lon degrees Float
plane_alt Plane elevation meters Float
plane_the theta (pitch) degrees Float
plane_phi phi (roll) degrees Float
plane_psi psi (heading) degrees Float
gear_deploy gear deployment for 6 gear. 0 = up

1 = down

Float[6]
flap_ratio flap lowering 0 = clean

1 = max flaps

Float
flap_ratio2 flap lowering 0 = clean

1 = max flaps

Float
spoiler_ratio spoiler ratio 0 = clean

1 = max spoilers

Float
speedbrake_ratio speed brake ratio 0 = clean

1 = max speed brakes

Float
slat_ratio slat deployment ratio 0 = clean

1 = max slats

Float
wing_sweep wing sweep 0 = normal

1 = most sweep

Float
