That's right... "Would I be right in assuming you want to use x-plane as a visual system, slaved to another input source for the flight data?" As you say, I would be surprised if it hadn't been done before - probably many times. I looked through the plugin SDK site and didn't see anything. It was clear, however, that it could be done by writing a new plugin that simply overrode the aircraft data over and over, every time it was called. I can certainly do that. Still, it wasn't clear if there wasn't another BETTER way - seemed kind of brute force. tnx...

I am hoping someone can just give me some basic pointers in the right direction. I need to generate a chase view of the aircraft, using data I already have (lat/lon, pitch, roll, etc.). I would think this is so common a desire that such a capability may already exist. However, it looks like I need to right a "dummy" plugin (a plugin that simply takes my data and overrides what X-plane thinks the next aircraft motion will be). Right? Or is there a simpler way to do it? Again, any pointers appreciated.
