First, let me commend MS on a fantastic product with FS2020 (All 127 Gb of it, 10 hours to download). The graphics and particularly the clouds are so real - and, a 172 will spin !!
I've been using XP11 linked to SkyDemon and it's a marvellous aid to learning how to use SD. There must be some clever chaps out there who have worked out how to use MS2020's data output to drive SD ? It's not immediately obvious but if anyone has any ideas they'd like to share, I'd be most grateful.

One way to have it working with MS FS2020 is through an additional App called Xmapsy. It's payware (though it's quite cheap) but there's also a "light" version you can try out before purchase. This app essentially connects to MS FS2020 and then acts as a "Proxy" to SkyDemon, using the SIMCONNECT protocol.
I have it working with no issues using my Windows version of SkyDemon. I also tested it with the Android/IOS versions of SkyDemon and it does work but it often gets disconnected (and it riconnects shortly after); I'm pretty sure though this is not related to the use of Xmapsy (since the windows app works flawlessly) but it's somehow related to the Mobile SkyDemon version of the app (I'm still investigating through)

Great to know it is working. Could you please provide some details on how you install it and set it up? What is being started first, etc... I can't get it to work even though I bought the full version
