Build

Open the pilotclient folder in CLion to load the project. That's it! You now have a working CLion environment to build and execute the project.

swift uses CMake presets to configure CMake. By default, the dev-debug profile will be loaded. While this profile contains the required config for most of swift's components, some features, like the X-Plane and Microsoft simulator plugins are disabled. For more information on how to extend the default profile to enable more features, see this page.

Different launch targets can be selected here:

For more information on CLion itself, see the CLion manual.
