During the winter (and summer ??!!!!) where the weather is too bad to fly, I like to keep up my IMC skills by flying various routes and instrument approaches using FSX.

I can, currently, plug in my back-up Garmin 496 into FSX and the route and moving map comes up on the 496 whilst in sumulator mode.

Wouldn't it be a great tool if we could use the iPad SkyDemon plugged into FSX and allow hands on simulation via FSX?

Has anyone managed to achieve this FSX link?

Don't know weather to post here on in the sugesstins forum.

P.S - I am the worlds most un-educated person with respect to software, cables, patches and plug-ins (although I know the language), so a really easy fix (aka the garmin solution) would be great.

Thanks

Hugh

Hi Jan,
many thanks for your quick reply.
I will check it next week. For the time beeing I have to prepare some lessons in radio navigation for my students.
But let’s talk about the menue.
Since I have installed the FSUIPC, there is a additional item in the FSX menue bar, called “add ons”
It appears after 30seconds.
WhenI click on this item iI can see the item FSUIPC. When I click on that, there iis a menue with logging parameters and I can see the logged parameters in a terminal window, if I activate this..
So, I decide to make a new installation of the FSX, I have all the original CD’s..
Maybe that there is a problem with simconnect. The next step will be to switch off the firewall and/or the AVantivir software..
I will report here what happend then..
BR and a nice weekend,
Winni
