There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks great overall. Just a couple of nitpicks to fix and I'll merge it.
|
Edit: Looks like the other PR has the same problem, so I guess Azure is just broken for no reason. sigh |

The error message is about not finding Mac OS SDK 10.14. Is it running on an older system/Xcode version? 10.14 is specified in that yml file. Maybe try to set it to earlier version? Builds/works fine on 10.14 for me. |
This reverts commit 46fa8ad.

Well, using the 10.15 SDK seems to work, but everything I can find in the Azure docs suggests that 10.14 should continue to work as well. Anyway, I think it's fixed now and I'm not aware of any downside to building the plugin against the latest SDK version. |

Would you be able to add the message format (as provided in comment above) to the wiki? Can't send PR for that... |

Wiki updated. |
This adds the capability to obtain the terrain height above MSL at a given location using a XPLM terrain probe. A new message pair (GETT query, terrain response) was added to specify the probe location and to return the data.
The probe is persistent once created for speed. Currently only one probe is supported.
Using this mechanism allows to land an aircraft onto the x-plane world.
Definitions for the message formats will be added shortly.
