I am doing my first attempts to use FlightSimControls.
At first , I was using a single FlightSim.update() at the beginning of loop().
Worked so far in case XPlane is already running.
But the typical situation is, that my Teensy Board is already running for a while until XPlane comes up and the communication may start.
As the the next attempt, I tried this code which does not work:
Is there a reliable method to detect whether XPlane is running or not and/or initiate a reconnect in case the connection is lost?

Code:
void loop() {
bool FSactive=false;
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
FlightSim.update();
delay(400);
Serial.println("After initial FlightSim.update()");
while(1)
{
if ((FlightSim.isEnabled()==true) && (FSactive==false))
{
Serial.println("Xplaen is ONLINE now");
FSactive=true;
FlightSim.update();
delay(500);
updateGearLEDs();
}
if((FlightSim.isEnabled()==false) && (FSactive==true))
{
FSactive=false;
Serial.println("XPlane now OFFLINE");
}
if((FlightSim.isEnabled()==false) && (FSactive==false))
{
FSactive=false;
Serial.println("XPlane now OFFLINE");
}
} //while
}
Is there a reliable method to detect whether XPlane is running or not and/or initiate a reconnect in case the connection is lost?
