X-Plane Manager

X-Plane Manager (or XPman) is intended to be a configuration manager for Laminar Research's flight simulator X-Plane (version 11 and later).

Similar tools exist but they are not cross-platform, have limited functionality, are difficult to use or are payware.

Goals

  • Manage X-Plane aircraft and liveries, scenery packages, nav data, plugins and extensions
  • Work on all platforms supported by X-Plane (Windows, Mac, Linux)
  • Offer idiomatic installation (e.g. setup.exe on Windows) and close-to-native look and feel

Status

Currently in development stages. Some things work, some don't... Check feature status.

You know the drill: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Installing X-Plane Manager

Download the package appropriate for your platform from GitHub releases and install it. All packages are bundled with a Java runtime so you don't have to worry about installing Java.

Windows

When running the EXE or MSI, SmartScreen might display a dialog saying "Windows protected your PC". To run the installer you have to click on "More info" then "Run anyway". X-Plane Manager doesn't contain any malware, it's 100% open source and all the code used to build and package it is public and auditable.

Development

X-Plane Manager is a Standalone JavaFX application. The "main" branch is now using Java 17.

It is split in 3 modules:

  • xpman-api is a pure Java API to interact with X-Plane's installation.
  • xpman-fx is the JavaFX UI built on top of xpman-api
  • xpman-fx-dist is responsible for packaging xpman-fx in distributable forms
