I thought SimCharts only worked on the same PC in any case? Doesn't it have its own interface to FS, rather than a GPS type input?

As far as FliteMap is concerned, yes, you can run it on the same PC as FS, thought I wouldn't like to do that even on my 3.2GHz machine as two intensive graphics programs will not make for good performance.

Because FliteMap needs serial input on a COM port and GPSout provides that data output on a COM port, all you need to do is link two COM ports (or USB/Serial adapters) together on the same PC, using the appropriate crossover cable, just as if they were on two separate PCs.

Do it exactly as if you had two PCs, but just on the one.

You just put one of the two COM ports into GPSOut as the port it's going to send the data too, and the other COM port into Flitemap as the one it's going to receive data from. GPSOut won't care that the cable from the port assigned to it loops back to the same PC, and Flitemap won't know that the data coming into its port is coming from the same PC.
