Running Inflight with FSX?

SkyDemon Forums

pfiquet,

Check all your settings again, specially "Fsx2NMEA settings", & "HW Virtual Serial Port HW-VSP3." The settings must match.

The port number must be the same, I use "8192" as suggested by Colin.
In fact, use his exact settings if possible, makes life easier. Smile

Here is a screen picture, I am connecting thru port 23 com3

My setup also tried to use port 23 & had to be changed to 8192.

Regards,

Max.

To do this, I use a third party virtual COM port that Skydemon receives data from, and a small application I wrote that receives position data from FSX and converts it to NMEA data that Skydemon understands. It works just fine. I am not sure if this can be done on the mobile device because of the virtual COM port. Setting it up is fairly straightforward. If you want to do it, I can give you the required information.

If you care to give or upload the details, I would certainly like to try it out. Recently reloaded FSX & missed SkyDemon's charts. Surprising how soon you get used to things. Regards, Max

I recommend you read the document first, because you will need another bit of software too. You are the first aside from me to try this, so let me know how you get on! Colin

Made a slip up initially as the port No.reverted to "23" Deleted the port & created again as port No. "8192". Lo & behold, there was SkyDemon showing a Cessna 172 being flown on FSX. Will have more time to experiment during the week, & want to figure out a way to stop FSX pausing every time I adjust SkyDemon So many thanks Colin, & I'm sure others will also want to give this a try. Regards, Max.

Incidentally, in FSX Settings/General, there is an option to Pause on Task Switch. If you uncheck it, FSX will keep running when you move to Skydemon. All the best Colin

I don't fly myself but on FSX and therefore, I search for the possibilities to use both together, and thanks to Colin's wonderful work, here I am. It took me some trials to understand how the interfaces played and now, it seems that my setup is correct, except that in GPS mode,I don't get the flight parameters on the SD map. Went in the setup mode, tried each one of the three devices options, no changes. What did I miss. Here is a screen picture, I am connecting thru port 23 com3 Don't worry, be happy.
