Description
Is this task related to a feature or a bug? Please include relevant issue numbers below.
This task follows up on issue #138. The README merged in PR #178 documents this path but marks it as not yet confirmed.
Describe the solution you'd like
Confirm that the plugin loads from the path the README now documents:
X-Plane 12/Resources/plugins/PilotDataSync/win_x64/PilotDataSync.xpl
Then remove the "not yet confirmed" note from the README.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The path comes from the SDK's own SDK/README.txt, which specifies the <plugin name>/<ABI>/<plugin name>.xpl schema under Resources/plugins. That is authoritative documentation but has not been tested with a running sim.
Additional context
Needs an X-Plane installation. The free demo is enough, since the plugin window appears at startup and no flying is required.

Research direction
Start with the README note and the SDK/README.txt path schema. Use an X-Plane installation or the free demo, place the plugin at the documented path, and launch the simulator to verify that its window appears at startup. Done means the path is confirmed and the README no longer says it is unconfirmed.
