FauxXPLM - A re-impl of the X-Plane XPLM layer.
XPL_WorkBench requires this to work properly on macOS.
macOS plugins/dylib files are compiled with a fixed reference to "@executable_path/../../../Resources/plugins/XPLM.framework/XPLM" or some such.
Large portions of the FXPLM header files are copied from the Laminar Research SDK. No claim is made to Laminars SDK IP. This work (FXPLM) is protected under the Oracle vs Google (Java APIs) precedent.
This project utilizes the X-Plane SDK under terms provided by Laminar Research. Notwithstanding any contractual prohibitions on reverse engineering, this software development is conducted in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) Sections 47B and 47D, which provide non-excludable rights for the purposes of study, analysis, and the creation of interoperable software products within Australia.
The implementation logic of FXPLM behind the API function signatures has been written without reverse engineering or de-compilation of any Laminar software binaries.
