Plugin to save data in a GPS format?

Is anyone aware of an X-Plane plugin to save data in a usable GPS format such as GPX? All my searching turned up dead links and ideas.

I want to be able to review my flight and approaches after the heat of battle. PEaware isn't detailed enough. I was using the Logging feature in ForeFlight but that isn't an option for the near future.

Any ideas?

Appreciate the speedy response. Forelight will actually transfer to CloudAhoy and sent the flight plan also. The problem is I am currently using Foreflight but with the GPS turned OFF. The CloudAhoy app requires it be in the foreground to record.

A valid work around is for me to snag my wifes iPad as a recorder but it is not always available. So my original question stands as it seems it would be so simple to output to KML\GPX from X-Plane directly. I hope I don't have to try to figure out how to get a compiler on my machine again, things could go horribly wrong.

Good point. Writing it as a LUA or Python script should be easy (once you know the format), you don't need to bring the C++ guns to the fight :)
