libxplanemp: X-Plane Multiplayer Rendering/Integration Library

libxplanemp provides common infrastructure for multiplayer clients to:

• Render aircraft using CSL Models
• Send TCAS responses to player aircraft
• correlation of aircraft code/airline/livery sets to an available CSL model

without requiring the use of the X-Plane AI aircraft system

Creating Models

There are three supported model formats and rendering paths in XSB

• OBJ8 CSL - The New OBJ8 based CSL system
• LegacyCSL - the old (hacked OBJ7) format which is only supported for backwards compatibility reasons. Deprecated as of the release of X-Plane 11.
• ACFs - a legacy method which involves using the AI system to render aircraft. Not recommended for use. Documented in LegacyCSL for now.

If you want to create new models for model matching/rendering, please do not use the OBJ format in LegacyCSL, but instead use the OBJ8 format as described in OBJ8 CSL

When creating a CSL, it is critical that the correct ICAO and Airline codes are used in it's specification.

• ICAO Type codes are in DOC8643 - please see http://www.icao.int/publications/DOC8643/Pages/default.aspx for access to the table.
• Airline codes must be an ICAO three letter designator.

Please do not make up ICAO Type Codes. (eg: do not use B74F for the Boeing 747-400F - the correct code is B744).
