1. XTextureExtractor extracts the textures for the HSI, ND, EICAS, and CDU displays, and renders them in separate windows that you can place anywhere within X-Plane, on external unused monitors, and on Android devices.
2. Most X-Plane 11 aircraft only allow you to view these displays within the virtual cockpit.
3. X-Plane 11 doesn't natively support this functionality via the SDK, so the plugin uses OpenGL calls to try and guess the correct texture id.
4. However, if you have a home cockpit set up with multiple monitors, it would be ideal to see each of these displays shown full screen and without having to move the view around to see it clearly.
5. Supported aircraft are the standard X-Plane 737, Zibo 738, Flight Factor 757, Flight Factor 767, and the Felis Tu-154.
6. There are external apps that can provide some of these displays, but they reimplement everything from scratch and will never be an exact match for your aircraft.
7. You must extract the plugin ZIP file and copy the Plugin-XTextureExtractor-x64-Release directory into your X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins directory.
8. XTextureExtractor analyzes all the OpenGL textures and works out where these displays are rendered to.
9. It has only been tested with an NVidia GTX 1080 and Windows 10, and the texture finding algorithm may not work on other video cards.
10. Some aircraft support a pop-up CDU, but rarely any of the other displays.
11. This same texture is then rendered into separate windows that you can move around and place wherever you want.
12. They can be rendered as windows within X-Plane, or popped out and moved around within Windows itself.
13. The coordinates of all the displays are hard coded for each supported aircraft.
