Getting started

Install the plugin

Add the X Captain plugin to X-Plane and link it to your account.

X Captain is a native X-Plane plugin. It loads together with the simulator, reads flight data from inside X-Plane and sends it to your X Captain account. There's no separate program to start and nothing to connect by hand.

Download

Download the latest version of the plugin for your operating system.

Install

  1. Close X-Plane if it's running.
  2. Unzip the download.
  3. Copy the X-Captain folder into Resources/plugins inside your X-Plane folder.
  4. Start X-Plane. The plugin loads with the simulator.

Updating

To update, close X-Plane and replace the old X-Captain folder in Resources/plugins with the new one.

Link it to your account

  1. In X-Plane, open the X Captain plugin and choose Log in.
  2. A browser page opens on X Captain and shows a device code.
  3. Check that the code matches what the plugin shows, then click Approve.

The plugin is now linked to your account. You only need to do this once per X-Plane install.

You need an X Captain account first. Register here if you don't have one.

That's it. Load a flight and X Captain starts tracking on its own. See supported simulators for which X-Plane versions work.
