The windows version of Skydemon is a little limited I guess, but it's still a great tool. Finding a way to use the SkyDemon Ipad version would be truly superb... Ian

Would also like to be able to read flightplans from Skydemon either by import or yet better directly. Kennet Edited 1/8/2013 1:42:46 PM by kennet.stenberg

Connecting the Ipad version would be double amazing, but I think that would take work from Skydemon as you'd need a setting to get the GPS input from FSUIPC via the local network (I guess that's what WideFS does).

Group: Forum Members Posts: 14, Visits: 94	Just to say I got this working, although it was by trial and error and I possibly paid over the odds to do it (worth every penny though, Full blood FSX with Skydemon is just amazing). I needed: FSUIPC (25 quid odd) WideFS (25 quid too and I'm not sure I actually needed this, but I was pulling my hair out till I brought it then everything seemed to just start working) VSPE (Free edition) Once these were installed, - In FSX Add-ON menu set FSUIPC as per the attachment - (Use GPSout setting in short) - Add the following to the WideFS WideClient.ini file: [GPSout] Port=COM11 Speed=9600 - Use VSPE 'pair' option from COM11 > COM12 - SkyDemon then sees the FSX GPS output on COM12. Something like that worked for me anyway! Ian I have all the FSX trimmings, at least for my low hour PPL level I find it an invaluable training aid for both VFR and more recently IMC training.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 21, Visits: 1.4K	Have you installed FSUIPC ? there is a GPSout option. It can be done via a RS232 cable or via the network. Later on i will have a better look how i installed it. Rob Greetings R.M. de Vries www.pa7rm.nl
