Use C++ to initialise matlab and run an m-file

Hi, I want to find some c++ code which will initialise an instance of matlab and run a specific m file. I am running a UDP interface between an aircraft simulation in MATLAB and the X-Plane environment.

What I want to happen is that when X-Plane loads, I can include in my plugin (written in c++) a line of code that says run aircraftsim.m which will start MATLAB if it is not started and run the m-file.

Moreover, it would be nice if I could get this to work on another computer. I.e. X-Plane on one computer and MATLAB in another.

Thank you in advance for help with this!

Is MATLAB somehow accessible on the computer with X-Plane? If yes, you can use one of several External Interfaces. Since you are using C++, the MATLAB Engine API seems most appropriate.
