GPSout and Flitemap

[mcaine]

Hi

I'd like to be able to send flightplans from Flitemap to the GPS unit in my virtual Cessna. Can this be done with GPSout? I tried most of the supported gps types in Flitemap and quite a few settings on GPSout but had no luck so far. I always get an error about unexpected responses, or if I select a Gsrmin unit then Flitemap says it couldn't obtain model/version info.

This is rather a confused question. You are actually mixing up two completely different things.

Flightplans FROM Flitemap are nothing to do with GPSout -- GPSout is an FS module which makes FS look like a GPS to Flitemap -- in other words it is OUT from FS and IN to Flitemap, not the other way round!

Getting stuff out of FliteMap for use in FS and FS add-ons in what I wrote FStarRC for -- that produces .APL plans for Radar Contact, .sbp plans for Squawbox and Project Magenta, and .PLN plans for FS.

Thanks for the fast reply!

I like to plan my routes in Flitemap, and I usually convert them to .pln format using an olf FS2002 program, but it's a cumbersome process and the converter is buggy.

I had no idea you'd written FStarRC, but it sounds like it'll streamline things a lot, thanks for the heads up! And for the progams...
