PROFILE
Frank Kopp
Frank contributed to the flybywiresim/aircraft repository by enhancing aircraft simulation features and improving system reliability. He integrated the {fmt} library to optimize C++ logging, ensuring macros are eliminated when unused, which reduced runtime overhead. Frank also implemented a feature gate for the MSFS-PLN sync option in the A380X EFB, enabling safer staged rollouts. His work included integrating fly-by-wire system sources for WASM modules, refining A380X aircraft presets, and resolving a UI bug affecting ECAM Control Panel cycling. Using C++, TypeScript, and CMake, Frank focused on maintainability, performance optimization, and documentation updates, demonstrating depth in both backend and configuration management.

Oct 1, 2024October 2024 delivered targeted internal improvements in flybywiresim/aircraft to boost performance, reliability, and release safety. Reverted a perf-degrading change in C++ logging and integrated the fmt library to improve logging macros, with macros eliminated when unused. Implemented a risk-reducing feature gate by temporarily disabling the MSFS-PLN sync option in the A380X EFB settings until full integration, safeguarding operations and enabling staged rollout. Documentation for fmt was removed due to build issues to preserve CI stability.
