Parcel is a Python script designed to simplify the distribution of add-on aircraft for X-Plane via the Skunkscraft Updater.
There is no guarantee that this will work. Instead of contacting the developers like a sane person, I tried reverse-engineering how it works instead. Seemed easier than talking to someone.
To use:
- Drag your aircraft files into workdir.
- (Optional) Drag your .parcelignore file into the same directory as the script. An example file as used in the SimSolutions DA40 is provided, but keep in mind it only takes full file names right now.
- Run the python script.
- The resulting files will be left in workdir. Enjoy?
After this is done, you can:
- Compress the files in workdir to distribute as normal.
- Upload the files in workdir alongside the
skunkscraft_updater_*list.txt
files in the directory with the script.
