Data Logger for X-Plane (prerelease)

[PenfoldPilot]

For those analytical pilots out there you might be interested in a GPX data logger that we have developed for X Plane. Joe has done all the work and I just have the fun of testing it and coming up with requirements. Thanks Joe...

It creates a GPX output that can be loaded into many viewers but I personally use it with CloudAhoy. Here is an I-6 FAIL where I was too high on the GS:

and then the PASS:

We realize that the same can be achieved using an external App but I got frustrated with network connections dropping, time outs and the extra steps of moving the data (lazy)! The data logger is currently basic but it works.

I need to write the readme but it goes something like this:

DataLogger v0.1.5
- Download and unzip
- Install "DataLogger" folder into your resources\plugin directory
- Restart X-Plane
- To start the logger click on the window. To stop it click on the window. Note: each time you stop it the GPX file will be closed and saved to your X-Plane directory.


Notes:
I move the window to be front and center as soon as I startup. It will flash at you once you start taxing to remind you to start it.
