Wi-Fly Remote for X-Plane
Wi-Fly Remote is an iPhone and iPod Touch app that lets you use it as a remote-control joystick for X-Plane, a realistic and stunning flight simulator by Laminar Research for Mac and Windows.
There is a mailing list for news and feedback. I'll also be posting beta builds there for those willing to brave the cutting edge!
iPhone / iPod Touch App
X-Plane Plugin
Version 1.0.3 released December 24, 2009. Requires X-Plane 8.50+ on Mac OS X or Windows.
Note: This plugin is only 32-bit compatible and will not load if running a 64-bit version of X-Plane. There is an experimental 64-bit version of the plugin for Mac OS X here.
Installation
- Quit X-Plane if it is already running.
- Unzip the archive from above.
- Copy the plugin file for your OS to your X-Plane plugins folder:
<X-Plane>/Resources/plugins/ - Start X-Plane.
Your iPhone or iPod touch must be connected via wifi to the same local area network as your computer. If you have a firewall on your computer, you must allow X-Plane to accept incoming connections on UDP port 56244.
If you have any trouble, feel free to email me at danieldickison plus wifly at gmail for help.

Wi-Fly Remote is developed by Daniel Dickison. The icon was designed by Lemon, and Sandy Barbour helped get the plugin working on Windows.
Code
Wi-Fly is open-source. The source code for the iPhone app is released under the MIT license, while the X-Plane plugin is available under the GPL license. Both are available at:

Plugin Builds
Install the .xpl file for your OS in your X-Plane plugins folder. This should work with X-Plane 8.5+ or 9+.
Are there any volunteers who could build a Linux version, or teach me how to cross-compile for Linux on a Mac?
