This work discusses the creation of an interface between theX-Plane flight simulator and the TactSuit X40 haptic vest,the class architecture and design choices, as well asmeasuring the real-time operation of the program. Theefficiency of the program was measured by logging theexecution times of certain parts of the code. We found thatthe program can operate within defined parameters of whatconstitutes real-time but has an upper limit on how well itcan perform. The upper limit is dependent on the number ofpotential events provided by the user. We also discoveredthat the most time-consuming part of the code is the part thatis responsible for reading the user input into Python. Wesuggest that future work may want to examine and improvethis aspect.
