X-Pilot is a client written in C++ and the Qt Framework that can be used to interface X-Plane with the Vatsim network.
Compiling x-pilot was challenging. Here's the general steps I followed (successfully?)
- Download the xpilot client from https://github.com/xpilot-project/xpilot and install somewhere
- Please note that when downloading x-pilot, it relies on multiple external repositories found in the externals folder and the plugin folder. If your github client doesn't resolve and download these automatically, you may need to add them manually.
- From within MSVC 2022, add the Qt library under Extensions > Manage Extensions
- Qt Vs CMake Tools
- Qt Visual Studio Tools
- Restart MSVC
- Download and install the Qt Open Source Installer, currently version 6.5, to C:\Qt
- Add a Qt environment variable for Qt6_HOME to C:\Qt\6.5.2\msvc2019_64
- Restart MSVC and open the "xpilot" folder
