Regards, George Nothing of mine works with X-Plane. I don't know if someone else has done a similar feature -- maybe check with the XPUIPC author?

George Milner Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hi Pete, Apologies, I didn't make it clear. I am actually using P3D with FSUIPC, but I am trying to output the GPS data with GPSout to work with the new X-Plane feature in Garmin Pilot (It uses your Wi-Fi to connect to X-Plane on port number 49002). Can I transmit the same data with FSUIPC to trick the app into thinking I am using X-Plane? I managed to connect Sky Demon (which has the X-Plane mode) using a program called FlightSimGPS but Garmin Pilot doesn't want to know about it! Thanks, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I transmit the same data with FSUIPC to trick the app into thinking I am using X-Plane? The output from the GPSout facility in FSUIPC, which is configurable in any case, is standard GPS output -- either a selection of NMEA sentences, or "Aviation" format. And the output is always to a serial port (COMn). You link to your GPS using a serial cable, possible with an USB adapter and appropriate driver. In other words the GPout facility just emulates a real GPS. So any device which can accept such input should work fine with it. But then you say your device "uses your Wi-Fi to connect to X-Plane on port number 49002", then I'm sorry, but there's no such Ethernet transmission facilities in FSUIPC. You could write your own as a Lua plug-in, but there's not a ready-made one. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Milner Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks for that Pete. I tried this neat little Lua Plug-in (http://forum.simflight.com/topic/72742-interfacing-to-foreflight-mobile/#entry448797) but Garmin Pilot still refuses to cooperate, X-Plane must use different coding to the Plug-in. Back to flying the old school way with no gps then I guess! Thanks, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8guitar Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hello. This may help if you are trying to send serial port data through TCP/IP. Many years ago I was doing the same thing and I found a free software called HW Virtual Port. I used v1.25 and my setup was as follows: PC1: using Microsoft Flight Simulator with a GPS output:IP=10.0.0.2, VSP: Client, IP=10.0.0.4, Ports=23 [√]=HW VSP works as the TCP server.PC2: using Anywheremap XP as the GPS input:IP=10.0.0.4, VSP: Server, IP=10.0.0.2, Ports=23 [ ]=HW VSP works as the TCP server. Of course, I must tell you, that was using Windows XP. I have no idea what Windows Vista, and onward will do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erlap Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hello, Here is a software called XOFSX2GP that makes FSX to communicate with an Ipad running Garmin Pilot. Follow the link : http://www.erlapplication.fr/ HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta737200 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I bought the xofsx2gp software, but where do I download it? Edited February 9, 2017 by delta737200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 XOFSX2GP doesn't send AHRS or Traffic data to garmin pilot. Also has a wobble that makes it useless for determining direction. you can write your own application without too much difficulty interfacing with FSUIPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
