X-Plane

FSCharter integrates with X-Plane through a lightweight, drop-in plugin. The plugin positions your aircraft, monitors fuel, sets payload, and tracks your flight progress in real time.

Requirements

  • X-Plane 11.10 or later

  • Windows, macOS, or Linux

Installation

  1. Log in to FSCharter and download the plugin from the Download Plugin button in the bottom left of the menu bar.

  2. Extract FSCharter_v2.zip.

  3. Move the extracted FSCharter_v2 folder into <X-Plane_Root>/Resources/plugins/.

After installation, your directory structure should look like this:

<X-Plane_Root>/ Resources/ plugins/ FSCharter/ ReadMe.html Licences.html mac_x64/FSCharter_v2.xpl win_x64/FSCharter_v2.xpl

Connecting to FSCharter

  • Launch X-Plane.

  • Open Plugins > FSCharter > Settings...

  • Log in using the same credentials you use on the FSCharter platform.

Auto-login

To log in automatically when X-Plane starts, enable Save password in the Settings window. Your credentials are stored locally in an obfuscated form.

Environment

Ensure that Release (Default) is selected as the environment in the Settings window. Other environments are used for internal development and should be left unchanged.

Updating

For details on performing in-place updates and version-specific instructions for each operating system, see the Updates section.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Microsoft VC++ redistributable on Windows? See Troubleshooting.

  • Plugin reload caveats (complex aircraft). See Updates.
