What is this?

This is a demo plane I created while developing the PYtoFT tool: a mini compiler that converts a Python script into Funky Trees variables. With this tool, it is possible to create complex flight control systems or other in-game logic in a much more structured and organized way. This makes control logic easier to read and debug, instead of relying on deeply nested, condensed Funky Trees expressions (which have tortured me for a long time).

What is PYtoFT, how to use it?

What PYtoFT does, is that it converts your Python script like this:

from lib.FT_functions import *
main_loop_name = '_process'
exclude = ['exported_var']

my_global_var = 1.0
exported_var = False

def _process() -> None:
    global my_global_var
    global exported_var
    simple_var = 2000.0
    if my_global_var:
        if IAS > exported_var:
            another_simple_var = foo(simple_var)
        else:
            another_simple_var = 0
    else:
        another_simple_var = -1

def foo(some_value) -> float:
    input_val = some_value
    if Altitude > 200:
        input_val += 2
    else:
        input_val -=2
    result = input_val + bar()
    return result

def bar() -> float:
    if IAS > 10:
        return 5
    else:
        return 0

Into XML code like this:

Setter variable= my_global_var function= 1.0 priority= 0

Setter variable= simple_var  function= 2000.0  priority= 0 

Setter variable= another_simple_var  function= (my_global_var ? ((IAS > exported_var) ? (((Altitude > 200) ? (simple_var + 2) : (simple_var - 2)) + ((IAS > 10) ? 5 : 0)) : 0) : -1)  priority= 0 

And then inject the code into your plane XML file.

Plane Features

• All Funky Trees expressions in the variable setters are generated from a Python script. I did not write a single line of funky trees expression in-game :)
• 89 parts!
• Detailed cockpit and displays
• Can land on a carrier
• Works in SP2
• Realistic flight characteristics
• AOA limiter and G limiter

Enjoy your flight!

And Merry Christmas!
