How to record flight data

Here I will explain how to use recordFlight.py (can be found inside xpcclient folder) script to record your own final approach on X-Plane. Alternatively, you can also use my recorded data here.

Make sure you have installed X-Plane Connect plugin for your X-Plane Installation. And you should also follow the instruction on how to setup Deeplanding.

Recording an approach

1. Open X-Plane
2. Select aircraft (this experiment use B747)
3. Start flying
4. Open terminal, either PowerShell or CommandPrompt on Windows, then activate the conda environment and run recordFlight.py.

$ conda activate deeplanding
$ python recordFlight.py

5. The script will ask you recording number which will be used as number at the end of recording file. If you give 22, the name of recording file will be rec_22.csv.
6. The script will immediately start recording the flight, folow instruction on the command-line to stop recording.

Recording files will be saved inside deeplanding/xpcclient/Records/ directory.
