This is the official source code repository for the FlyWithLua plugin project.
FlyWithLua offers Lua scripting to X-Plane since X-Plane 9.
Discussions to general topics should be opened on the official forum at x-plane.org.
You will find a binary version ready to use in X-Plane 9 or 10 in the download area of x-plane.org.
You will find a binary version ready to use in X-Plane 11 only and the binary is also in the download area of x-plane.org.
The new versions are X-Plane 12 only and the binary is also in the download area of x-plane.org.
If you want to grab a most current binary, just download FlyWithLua_plugin.zip from the most recent GitHub Actions build and unpack it into your X-Plane's plugin folder.

How to cross-compile FlyWithLua on Ubuntu for Windows and OS X
Note: this is documented just in case, but generally is not recommended. Using native builds and/or GitHub Actions workflow is more convenient and less prone to errors and bugs.
Install cross-compiling toolchains:
# Install Windows cross-compiling toolchain (MinGW).
sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends mingw-w64 g++-mingw-w64 && apt-get clean
# Install OS X cross-compiling toolchain (clang).
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends clang curl && apt-get clean

How to create Code Blocks Project From CmakeLists.txt File
- First you will need to install MinGW-64, Cmake, CodeBlocks and Git.
- Create a CodeBlocks Projects folder like this.
mkdir CodeBlocksProjectscd D:\CodeBlocksProjectsgit clone https://github.com/X-Friese/FlyWithLua.gitcd FlyWithLua/srcmkdir buildcd buildcmake -G "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" ..- Open CodeBlocks and use "Open an existing project" browsing to "FlyWithLua/src/build/FlyWithLua.cbp" and click on the Open button.
At that point you should be able to build FlwWithLua.
How To Build Using QT Creator From the CmakeLists.txt File
- Create a QT Creator Projects folder like this.
mkdir QTCreatorProjectscd D:\QTCreatorProjectsgit clone https://github.com/X-Friese/FlyWithLua.git
- Using QT Creator use "File" > "Open File or Project" and browse to "FlyWithLua/src/CMakeLists.txt" then click on the "Open" button.
At that point you should be able to build FlyWithLua.
