Projects

Flight simulation plugins, aviation software, and the tools behind them.

X-Plane Plugins

Open-source C++ plugins for X-Plane 12. Cross-platform. Built with the X-Plane SDK and CMake.

Input Scaling

TrimGear

Solves hardware mismatch between trim wheels and X-Plane's built-in trim commands. Provides configurable gear ratios for pitch, roll, and rudder trim with per-aircraft profiles that save automatically.

Ground Handling

GlideStop

Automatic differential braking for pilots without toe-brake hardware. Derives braking from rudder and stick inputs with airspeed-dependent effectiveness that fades to zero at rotation speed.

HOTAS Expansion

MultiBind

Multi-button combination commands for joysticks and HOTAS setups. X-Plane only supports single-button bindings natively — MultiBind lets you press two or more buttons together to trigger any command, with per-aircraft profiles that load automatically.

Flight Simulators

I use X-Plane 12 and VATSIM to stay sharp between flights — rehearsing procedures, flying approaches until they're routine, and working through failures without the meter running. When something isn't working the way I need it to, I build a plugin to fix it.
