You can also 'write' to some (not all) DataRefs which allows you to use them in Input Configs. You can 'read' DataRefs and use them in Output Configs. X-Plane knows about two different kind of ways to interact with the simulator: DataRefsĭataRefs are like Sim Variables inside X-Plane that allow you to access state information from the plane, cockpit, and simulator like speed, altitude, altimeter reading, warning lights, etc.
MobiFlight now provides a direct way to interface with X-Plane by using native X-Plane DataRefs and Commands. Find the latest verion of this tutorial on our community wiki: using the native X-Plane support in MobiFlight
