This is free software, written as a first step towards an XPlane adventure 
recording and playback system I think would be an excellent addition to XPlane and 
the community.

The enclosed JAR file requires java 2 installed on your system.

You can get it from:

http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html


Once you have java installed, simply double-click the enclosed jar file, and 
JXPFrameRate will begin listening on port 49001.


To see results:

#1  Launch XPlane

#2  Go to the Settings ==> Data Output window and select the top-left green 
button.  This tells xplane to output the frame rate to the internet.

#3  Open the Settings ==> Internet Connections window and turn on the last button 
(IP address of data receiver).

#4  Enter the IP address of the machine you have JXPFrameRate running on.  If you 
are running it on the same machine as XPlane, enter "127.0.0.1"

#5  IMPORTANT: Set the port to 49001, not 49000

#6  Launch JXPFrameRate if it's not already running to see the frame rate...


Enjoy!

NOTE: I run XPlane on OS X (Macs), and although this program DOES run on a windows 
machine and displays the frame rate from a Mac running XPlane, I have not tested 
running XPlane on a windows machine.  It *SHOULD* work, but there is a difference 
between integers and floating point numbers and it may not work properly.

If you run Windows-based XPlane, just email (dspotts@mac.com) or IM me via AIM 
screen-name "dspotts", and I can test to see if it works correctly.

I may get around to this myself, tho my PCs are probably not up to running XPlane 
well.
