Fire Fighting XP12

Fire Fighting is a plugin developed for X-Plane 12, currently available for Windows only.

• Create and manage fire spots (one or multiple points).
• Progressive extinguishing: each drop counts until the fire is fully extinguished.
• Voice confirmation when the fire is out.
• The map updates automatically: the fire icon disappears once the fire has been extinguished.
• Retardant with a realistic effect, visible during the drop phase and on the ground.

• Dynamic fire spread in the direction of the wind.
• Range and intensity influenced by wind conditions.
• Option can be enabled or disabled directly from the application through the Propagation menu.

• Real-time aircraft tracking: position, heading, and optional auto-centering.
• ON/OFF tracking in one click.
• Live Fires system based on NASA FIRMS / VIIRS, with fast real active fire import around the aircraft’s position.
• Added a service vehicle placed near a fire (experimental).

• Small compact window (bottom-center) with animated filling (~12 s → 100%).
• Animated draining at the time of water drop.
• Guaranteed readability: the gauge remains clear regardless of the visual background.
• Easy to move: grab the small compass icon to drag the window.
• Visual alert in Pro Mode: if you try to drop without being full, the gauge lights up red for about 2.5 seconds.

• Practice (easy)
  • You can drop at any time, even if the tanks are not full, perfect for training.
  • The drop sound is played only when a drop is actually triggered.
• Pro (realistic)
  • Drops are allowed only when the tanks are full.
  • If you are not full, the drop command is refused: no sound, no effect, and the gauge flashes red for a few seconds.
  • After each drop, you must scoop again up to 100% before the next one.

• “Water” alarm: starts when entering the water and stops when leaving it.
  • If the tanks reach ~100%, the alarm will not restart until you have dropped the water.
• Drop sound (~3 s): played only when the drop is accepted.
  • No sound if the attempt is refused in Pro Mode.

• Optional map auto-centering on the aircraft.
• Discreet visual indicators: flashes and short messages.
• Automatic application closing when X-Plane is exited.
• FR / EN help window.

• Connect multiple pilots in the same session through FireFight Network.
• One Host PC can connect to one or more Client PCs.
• Participants can cooperate on the same mission and work together on the fires.
• Ideal for team flights, demonstrations, and more immersive missions.
• Works with ZeroTier, Tailscale, or any equivalent virtual network solution.

• Anti-double-press delay (~5 s) between two accepted drops: no more accidental “button spamming.”
• Sound and visual logic are triggered only when the action is actually accepted.
  • No “false positive” feedback.

1. Show the map and enable tracking if needed.
2. Show the Tanks gauge to monitor the level in real time.
3. Scoop water up to 100% in Pro Mode; the alarm indicates water entry and exit.
4. Drop over the fire: sound + effect if accepted, and the icon disappears from the map once the fire is extinguished.

• Practice: discovery, aircraft testing, and procedure training.
• Pro: realistic sessions, disciplined scooping, altitude/speed management, and strict drop control.
• Multiplayer: cooperative flights, demonstrations, and coordinated operations with multiple pilots.
