Cessna172 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 As a newbie I ´am planning to buy and install some "must have-addons". I want to install Flitestar and FS2004 on one PC. Will this be possible with GPSout.dll? I can´t buy a second PC for this. Thanks for every answer. Cessna172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll either need two serial ports and a null modem cable, so that you can feed out of one and back in on the other, or a virtual serial port program such as the free ones from MixW or Eterlogic. Those program can create a pair of serial ports linked together, all in software, fooling Windows into thinking they are real ports. Please first check that FliteStar can be used as a moving map, that it will accept NMEA input from a GPS. When I bought my copy it was called "FliteMap" -- more expensive than the package called FliteStar which certainly did not have any moving map facilities in those days. This was over 10 years ago so things might have changed -- but do check first! Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
