Thanks a lot again, I will try to reinstall FS2002 and GPSout with FSuipc. About the hint on starting a new plugin from the ground, what you think about NetPipes SDK? It says it is meant to develop IN/OUT solutions. Or may be I am wrong, I just does not understand programing very well. :-) Thanks again Felipe

Pete, Where would you suggest me to start studies on the net, if I would like to start a plugin like GPSout from the ground and that it is not FSuipc dependable? Thanks Felipe

Now I am receiving nothing from GPSout. But Hyperterminal and NmeaTool+ are working perfectly. I have already tried to change COMport from 1 to 2 and 3, Interval time from 100, 500, 1000 and 1500, speed from 4800, 9600, 19200 and 115200. But nothing happens. Do version 2.5 work with fs2002 or only with fs2004? Felipe

Here we are... I tested hyperterminal on both ends - worked OK I tested hyperterminal with NMEATOOL+ - worked OK I tested hyperterminal with GPSout - did not worked I revised all setings of GPSout including com port that is set to 1 and speed set to 4800, like hyperterminal and Nmeatool, but it still does not work. Below a sample of what I could get from hyperterminal on my laptop: The Nmea sentences came from Nmeatool on the other side, then I disconected nmeatool and ran FS2002, the results are those "trash" stuff, that didn´t stop even after I closed FS2002. $GPRMB,V,,,,,,,,,,,,A,S*0E $GPGGA,040516,2342.6409,S,04649.5505,W,8$GPBOD,,T,,M,,*47 $GPBWC,040520,,,,,,T,,M,,N,,S*6A $GPVTG,182.0,T,201.6,M,59.4,N,110.0,K*78 $GPXTE,V,V,,,N,S*43 $GPRMC,040522,V,2342.7447,S,04649.5544,W,37.8,182.0,270803,19.6,W,S*0D $GPRMB,V,,,,,,,,,,,,A,S*0E $GPGGA,040522,2342.7447,S,04649.5544,W,8,10,2.0,768.7,M,-3.3,M,,*5D $GPGLL,2342.7447,S,04649.5544,W,040522,V,S*44 $GPBOD,,T,,M,,*47 $GPBWC,040522,,,,,,T,,M,,N,,S*68 $GPVTG,182.0,T,201.6,M,37.8,N,70.0,K*4B $GPXTE,V,V,,,N,S*43 $GPRMC,040524,V,2342.7567,S,04649.5548,W,16.2,182.0,270803,19.6,W,S*0D $GPRMB,V,,,,,,,,,,,,A,S*0E $GPGGA,040524,2342.7567,S,04649.5548,W,8,10,2.0,768.7,M,-3.3,M,,*54 $GPGLL,2342.7567,S,04649.5548,W,040524,V,S*4D $GPBOD,,T,,M,,*47 $GPBWC,040524,,,,,,T,,M,,N,,S*6E $GPVTG,182.0,T,201.6,M,16.2,N,30.0,K*46 xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€xàxà€€x

I did not have FSUIPC installed, but I have it now, both FSUIPC and GPSout on the Modules directory of FS2002. I can see FSUIPC in the menu inside FS2002 soo it is installed correctly, but I still do not have any clues about the output of GPSout. I will check with hyperterminal, but NMEATOOL+ is a professional aplication to verify NMEA signals, I don´t see why it is not proper to check for GPSout sentences. Anyway I am going to test hyper terminal, any news I report. Thanks again. Felipe

Hi Pete, Its me again Felipe. I just bought my GPS176 back and I am again interested on making my GPS work with FS2002. But first I need to make GPSout work. When we last talked I had conection problems that I thought it was compactibilitie problems between GPSout and Mapsource. But now I know it is not that way. GPSout apears to not be working at all, I say this because after a lot of research and trials, I found that my other computer is not receiving a single sentence from the computer runign FS2002 and GPSout. For that I am using NMEATOOLS+ a software that focus on testing NMEA sentences over comunication ports. I also made tests with NMEATOOLS+ on both ends at the same time, one sending and the other receiving and everything had gone well. So it is logic to thing that GPSout that is not working properly. That is why I am writing...Am I forgeting something, do you have any sugestion??? Thanks a lot~, again. Felipe
