Full Changelog: v1.6.0...v1.6.1

StreamDeck Plugin for X-Plane 12 (StreamDeck plugin)

What it is

xp_streamdeck is a native Elgato Stream Deck plugin for X-Plane 12 on macOS. It turns any key on a Stream Deck (tested on the Stream Deck XL) into a control surface for the simulator — toggle the gear, fire any CommandRef, write a DataRef, or display a live readout (altitude, heading, QNH, …) right on the key.Under the hood the plugin talks to X-Plane's built-in Web API on localhost:8086 (REST + WebSocket). There is no custom XPLM C++ plugin to install — X-Plane 12.1.1+ ships the API enabled by default, the plugin connects to it directly. The motivation was simple: on Windows, [PilotsDeck] covers this need beautifully. On macOS there was no equivalent — only keyboard-shortcut workarounds. This project closes that gap.

Whats New in v1.6.1

  • fixed issue that external icons was not included in the zip

Whats New in v1.6.0

  • Better icons for General- and Airbus Design (by Isaaker)

Thank you to Isaaker for his great work!

Whats New in v1.5.0

A new button type "Multi-Action / Macro" that runs an ordered list of commands and/or DataRef writes from a
single key. Each step is one line in a simple text field:

  • cmd <path> — activate a CommandRef once
  • begin <path> / end <path> — hold a command (begin on press, end on release)
  • write <path>[idx] = <value> — write a numeric value (array index supported)
  • delay <ms> — pause before the next step

Separate press and release lists support momentary switches. Optional toggle mode
alternates an On / Off list, with the direction and the button image driven by a state
DataRef as the single source of truth (internal tracking as fallback). Built for
study-level aircraft (Zibo 737, ToLiss) where one switch is split across several
DataRefs/commands — e.g. the Zibo GPU, where the lever animation and the electrical
logic live on different refs.
