A bit of a tech note. In testing we have found that minimal desktop installs of Ubuntu are missing some shared libraries that crash the installer, studio and the runtime. If you are running on Linux and try to run the installer nothing happens try to run the installer with the terminal this will show what libraries are missing the most common are the ones involving openGL.

There was a bug that would not download the included asset and demo scenarios this has been fixed with this installer.
Hey Everyone, We tracked down and fixed a bug with the target triggers that caused targets to appear at the wrong heading. This only showed up when creating window targets larger than a kilometer — so it’s great to have that one squashed before the upcoming Virtual Pulitzer Trophy Race! Along the way, we also fixed a camera placement bug and smoothed out a couple of script generation issues when setting the camera to AGL.  Emergency Installer FixWe had an issue with the installer and Windows that crept up and was not able to connect to the servers and is now fixed. also there was a chance that the installer on error could leave the plugin folder empty we have implemented a better strategy and error handling so you wont loose hard work. Also while we where in there we spruced up the interface a bit to provide more information... well it was added for us to debug the issue but think it provides a better Experience so you know what is going on. Thank you for your understanding the new installer can be downloaded here  Original Release NotesWe are back with another update to Flight Code-X. Fixed a bunch more bugs and added a couple of features. With Flight Sim Expo behind us and summer time wrapping down, the kids are back at school the work is easier to get out the door. In this release we added camera controls this has been a feature that we are excited about and all the possibilities. Show off those amazing flights, create air tours, script that pre-flight walk around or craft a complete event broadcast! There is camera tracking and location tracking you can place around the aircraft and stabilize like a news cast or make it look like a camera is bolted to a strut. this is the first set of features for the camera but should cover most needs.
We have also added a control node for scheduling other nodes. This was primarily added to fix a problem with runaway trigger nodes when soft resetting scenarios without a full restart. But it is also nice to have an extra flow control for potential groupings of logic.
For ease of testing repays have been quite valuable especially for camera work. In the last release we added the ability to load replays with the scenario and found it's decently reliable to trigger and test Flight Code-X's features. This update we have added the ability to auto save replays when the scenario ends. making us the closest thing to a Replay editor set the start conditions and the end conditions fly the the flow and BANG! a replay that starts and ends with no beginning or ending fluff. The repays save to the scenario output folder in the Flight Code-X plugin folder with the scenario name and a time stamp. Combine this with the FDR and log and there is a ton of data.  Features: - Node control and scheduling - Save replay when scenarios end - Camera controls - use data refs for penalty add time bugs: - FDR uses the actual plane loaded not the one defined in the scenario - FDR recording when other data refs are set - AGL option in trigger nodes when object is set as target - Calc node deleting steps when multiple data refs are added - Load button now works to load selected scenario - UI windows only opened once in VR - String data refs getter and setter now correctly resizes fixing load new scenario on end - Stop scenario now ends properly if not loading a new scenario - Monitor node now updates name across the scenario - when saving over a existing file now works as expected - bunch of back of the machine stuff After a whirlwind adventure getting the last release together and fixing major technical issues, version 0.1.7 introduces features that open up new scenario possibilities.
New possible challenges include race-against-the-clock scenarios, where every action adds time to the countdown, or structured procedural sequences where following the correct steps can avert disaster. You can even create gate-to-gate time trials. Major EnhancementsControllable Randomization: The calc node now supports randomized data, including time and geographical locations, allowing for dynamic scenarios. The original random path node enabled multiple possible scenario paths, but the new calculations take it further—simulate radio failures that change frequencies or create search-and-rescue missions. Advanced Calculations: Two new calculations have been added to the calc node to enhance precision:
What's Next?This release significantly enhances the system’s flexibility. Moving forward, our focus will be on revamping documentation and publishing tutorials. We will also continue developing planned features, particularly object animation and multi-aircraft scenarios to improve training for:
New Features
Fixes & Improvements
This update brings substantial quality-of-life improvements and resolves key pain points reported by users. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to enhancing FlightCodex even further! After a long battle with an OpenGL issue that broke the new loading screen, we’re back with version 0.1.6!
This update primarily improves the UI backend, but we also managed to introduce a few new features. Now that the UI is stable, we can focus on the other features that have been in development. Known Issue
We’re back—well, technically, we never left! We've just been hard at work on version 0.1.4, packed with exciting new features. One of the major updates is the addition of a data reference and command manager that automatically pulls in default data and commands from X-Plane 12. No more sifting through text files to find the correct paths—this new manager makes it easier than ever to work with data and commands. You can even add favorites and custom lists, making them easily reusable. With the release of X-Plane 12.1.1’s new web API, Flight Code-X Studio can now populate position data directly from X-Plane. You can open the IOS map, move the plane, and set scenario start points or object target positions with a single click. Additionally, situation files offer a convenient way to set weather conditions, time of day, and initial parameters. Flight plans can now be imported, providing a backbone of target nodes to build scenarios around. There’s more! You can now configure units for certain fields, and the interface supports panning, scrolling, and zooming with the mouse. We’re also excited to introduce the first phase of flight analysis: scenarios can now record flight data and node event information. Plus, you can load replay files and run them against your scenarios for further analysis. As we continue improving Flight Code-X, our goal is to create the best curriculum and scenario-building system possible. Stay tuned—there’s more to come!
New
We are excited to introduce the latest version of Flight Code-X! We've made several updates to the UI to make it more uniform. You can now use data references as inputs for certain node fields. Additionally, the plane can be moved and placed without reloading the scenario. We've also added a calculation node for basic math operations. With this release, we are also introducing two new demo scenarios: a simple pylon course and a full game of Tic-Tac-Toe in the skies.
Fixed
v0.1.2-beta is mostly a clean up and bug fix release no new node types, although we have some more that we identified that we need math is lacking, the ability to reposition the aircraft without loading and the possibility of loading a situation or replay. This release focused on usability with keyboard shortcuts file operations, copy, paste and organisation. undo/redo, node grouping and locking, and reusable modules are still in progress. We identified some situations that caused the system to crash and have fixed them as we found them full details below.
