Seven utilities for plugin development and day-to-day operations. DataRefTool browses, searches, and edits X-Plane's datarefs in real time — the first stop when debugging a plugin or script. Little XpConnect feeds position, weather, and AI traffic to Little Navmap. SkunkCrafts Updater keeps addons current with differential downloads and comes with glibc notes for Debian. XGS rates every landing by sink rate, G-forces, and centerline deviation. XLinSpeak is Linux-only by design: it supplies the text-to-speech that X-Plane gets from the operating system on Windows and macOS, via speech-dispatcher — the page also covers Piper TTS Manager, a separate FlyWithLua script for neural voices. The WINCTRL plugin drives WINCTRL cockpit panels over USB HID without SimAppPro.

XOrganizer is the exception in this list: a Windows-only .NET application that runs under Wine at best unreliably — the page documents the limits and points to a native alternative for sorting scenery_packs.ini (see Components for why that order matters).
