Nice.
May be you would be interested to know that a prototype X-Plane
plugins already exists
as a CERTI contribution:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/applications/XPlaneHLAPlugin/?root=certi

You could checkout the code from CERTI cvs repository
cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/certi co
applications/XPlaneHLAPlugin

moreover virtual air project have an XPlane HLA interface too:
http://virtualair.sourceforge.net/x-plane.html

Looks like the RTIA is not responding to its federate (libRTI call
send message to RTIA)

Which is normal since the problem is occuring before that in the chain

federate---1--->LibRTI---2--->RTIA---3--->RTIG

problem occurs in step 2.

Yes may be that in the context of XPlane plugin the rtia executable may
not be found in the path?

By the way:

1) Which version of CERTI are you using ?
2) On which platform ?
3) Did you compile CERTI from source or did you use some binary?
