Thanks all, but the feedback I'm getting is that if we were to do this project then we'd want to see an entire cockpit display suite designed for marketing purposes. And that is quite a big project! So for now I'll be flying the pattern. I'll let you know, Pete, if that changes. -Brian

Thank you for your reply. Absolutely; I'm going to have to talk to my boss to see if he would like to pursue this. I will definitely keep you informed if we decide to go forward with putting our resources into writing this interface, but it is certainly something I'd like to see. FYI, ARINC 429 is just another data bus standard used on aircraft. It is one of the more commonly used protocol on commercial/GA aircraft. Thanks again, Brian

Mr. Dowson, I believe your FSUIPC.dll was used on one of our companies projects that sent data from MS Flight sim 2000 to an EGPWS computer, which then sent terrain data to one of our displays. It really makes for a nice way to demo/test the product. I am now looking for a method to export ADAHARS data from the simulator to a triple-standby instrument. The input to this instrument is ARINC 429, and we are expecting lables for Pressure Altitude, Mach number, Vne, Airspeed, Mag Heading, Pitch, Roll, and Lateral Acceleration, and ILS information. I have no experience writing dll's and don't know where to begin to get this information out of the simulator, but I believe it can be done. If necessary, I will find a means to convert from RS-232 to ARINC 429. (I believe I can do it with a CPLD or FPGA) I would really appreciate any help to figure out how to do this! Thanks, Brian Garber
