  1. Hi Pete, Just so you know, I've reported this to Garmin and already in communication with them. Again, as for the control lines, the AERA 500 series only have out/in/ground... so, none. The problem so far is just that the unit still displays "Disconnected" on the Interface page when in Aviation In mode even when it is actually processing received data input... some data detection test a Garmin programmer has not done right... We'll see where it goes from here. For the record, the Aera 560 I have is running the latest software, version 3.1 Thanks again, great product "and support!" :-) Sylvain
  2. Hi again. Nothing to do with the control lines since your software is sending the data and there's no lines for that on the GPS. I found out that it is actually working... did not realize it until I switch the GPS on map display... the interface still shows "Disconnected" but the unit in GPS Simulation mode still is receiving the data and working. Thanks for the help. Perfect way to get handons experience on the unit still on ground... and with FSX in real weather mode, the Aera 560 with XM Aviation Weather data pacakge... just fantastic. Sylvain
  3. I'm using the Garmin cable with bare wires made to interface with the Aera 500 series as displayed here: http://www.pilotshop.com/garmin-aera-aviation-mount-bare-wires-p-5286.html I've done a simple cable with a female DB-9 and the Garmin cable with the bare wires above. From what I have, I've connected the black to pin 5 (ground). Blue (GPS TX Data out) to pin #2 and the Yellow (GPS Data In) to pin #3 of the DB-9 female connector. Like I've said, I can receive from the GPS @4800 when in NMEA mode... with Hyperterminal I see it all. When place in Aviation In mode, and the software at 9600 (or any other speeds) the GPS Interface Setup Page remains in "Disconnected" mode for the "Aviation Input Status". Wondering if it's my cabling? I've tried with 2 different serial ports and same results. Thank you in advance for your help. Sylvain
  4. Trying the same with an Aera 560 an a registered version of FSUIPC4 4.70c on FSX Got AutoSave.GPSout set to "Check to enable this GPSout" COM1 which is the only com port on this pc. speed 9600 msecs 1000 And only AV400 selected. The Aera 560 interface setup to "Aviation In"... The GPS keeps diplaying under "Aviation Input Status": Disconnected I've set the GPS in normal NMEA output mode and I can read the NMEA string with hyperterminal. Easy cable do to for a DB-9 (in face DE-9), pin 2 and 3 (and 5 ground) with the GPS in and out... reading the GPS output on the PC, meaning I have the other input/output (GPS-RS-232) ok too, I'm assuming... Tried 4800... no change... was wondering if there was something to do to "wake up" the connection or something... there's no monitoring option so can't be sure data is going out on COM1... and presently don't have a null cable so can't connect another PC to monitor if FSUIPC4 is able to use com1 for output... That's what I'll have to do unless anyone else have an idea...? Thanks in advance! Sylvain
