Just open-sourced xplane-proxy — a small utility that solves a common home cockpit problem: X-Plane 12's WebSocket API only works on localhost, so if your bridge or hardware runs on a separate machine, it can't connect. The proxy runs on your SimPC and makes the API available to any machine on your local network.

Single-file download, no installation needed.

Working on a new version of the 737MAX bezel. With a dimension of 343x269mm it unfortunately does not fit under the 3D printer, so probably need to use the CNC machine. Always use the right tools for the job! 😉
