Only difference I can see is that you have in Fsx 2NMEA "centre box, IP Address" "127.0.0.1" I have "0.0.0.0" Worth a try? Regards, Max. Edited 8/30/2011 7:24:33 PM by Max_UK

Fsx2NMEA is connected to a TCP socket, but the data must be getting lost at the serial port. I have put a document on my Skydrive with screenshots that show all the serial port settings of Fsx2NMEA, HW Virtual Serial Port & Skydemon Plan. If necessary, delete your serial port config & set up again. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=062a857fb93775aa#cid=062A857FB93775AA&id=62A857FB93775AA%211701 Hope that works.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 21, Visits: 71	Hi Many thanks for posting this tool - which I have installed successfully and found it to be very helpful/useful. I have noticed one issue - that when I start up the GPS it tells me that I only have 30 mins as I am using it on a Trial basis. I have a Skydemon GPS - which comes with the Navigation software and a software key that activates the software. Have I missed something - how do you stop it from shutting down the "virtual" GPS after 30 minutes? Kind regards Chris
