Trouble with GPSout

[markbrumbaugh]

In FSX [Module]

I have GPSout.ini and GPSout.dll

GPSout.ini has

Sentences=RMC,PGRMZ

Port=WideFS

Speed=9600

and the rest of the standard stuff

WideClient on my client has the following wideclient.ini

; PLEASE SEE WideFS documentation for parameter details

; =====================================================

[Config]

Port=8002

Window=270,4,886,589

Visible=Yes

ButtonScanInterval=20

[GPSout]

Port=COM255

Speed=9600

Note...I had to rem out the Run1 because I was getting an [error=2], anthough I can use Blue

Sky Moving Map by manually starting it. This error started after I worked on my GPSout stuff

I have the port emulator on my client set up and appears to be working OK pairing ports

255 and 4. However TopoUSA and Microsoft streets both crash and burn when I try to feed

it the GPSout data.

Does it make any difference what com ports I pair on the client? Is 255 too big? Which one goes first?

Or am I using the wrong sentences? or is TOPOUSA not compatible? It works fine with a Garmin GPS.

In FSX [Module] I have GPSout.ini and GPSout.dll

GPSout.DLL is for use with FSUIPC3 and FS9 or earlier. For FSX and later the GPSout feature is part of FSUIPC4, and its INI parameters are part of the FSUIPC4.INI file.

Since I already had previously a free version of FSUIPC, I didn't even read that stuff and just went with the WideFS stuff. Your suggestion worked.

I must have read all the directions 50 times and missed that I didn't need GPSout with FSX and new FSUIPC.

Thanks for the help. Your advice was 5 minutes to fix after I spent three hours.

All is working fine now. (Well, except for Delorme stuff which is buggy on its own right.

I still am getting a message that WideFS cannot load moving map, but I can do it manually fine after the error=2 message.

Error 2 is simply the Windows error "file not found": you have an error in the path or filename. And remember you need to put it all in quote "..." if there are spaces in it anywhere.
