X-plane and FSX Plugin

The X-plane and FSX plugin are the bridge between the simulator and Air Manager for iPad. The plugin acts as a TCP/IP host, this can be either local or remote. Multiple instances of Air Manager running remote may connect to the same plugin. The FSX plugin works with both FSX and Prepar3D.

Communication between the plugin and Air Manager

Communication between the plugin and Air Manager is done by using the standard UDP protocol (Ethernet).

The plugins will act as a server using UDP port 5555 for the X-Plane plugin and UDP port 5556 for the FSX/P3D plugin. Air Manager acts as a client, which will try to connect on "localhost", using the same ports. If you are not running the simulator software and Air Manager on the same computer, make sure both computers are connected to the same network and there is no firewall blocking the UDP ports. You can have as many copies of Air Manager connect to the same plugin.
