You need to have FSUIPC installed (you don't need the registered version) .
I‌n‌ Skydemon m‌ake sure you select "X-Plane" after selecting  "Go Flying". If you don't see the entry, you need to activate it under Settings-ThirdPartyDevices-Simlulator-Xplane.

@JanR, I tried this alternative, but it didn’t work also.
Is there anything, which I have to reinstall together with FSX?
It seems that FSX will not send any gps data.

As an alternative, you could try the Foreflight plugin from Flight1. Its free and works like a charm with Skydemon.

Hello, Pilots and Programmers

I tried to install the ‌FSX2SkyDemon Software (latest version).
 All is configured as described in the helpfile.

The green connection dot on the FSX2SkyDemon monitor is active, but there is no Data or Tx flashing.

Of course, the sim aircraft is moving.
As I can see, Martin Christoph has the same problem.

I hope, anybody has an idea.

I use Win 7, .Net Framework 4 or higher is installed
I have FS‌X running

Hi all,

I put an installer for a small program (Fsx2Skydemon) that receives data from FSX, and forwards it to SkyDemon using the x-plane protocol (supported by newer versions of Skydemon).

The link is here:

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=62A857FB93775AA!9796&authkey=!ADlwSTS_uOYVfQs&ithint=file%2c.zip

Install it on the same PC as your FSX, and run it when you start FSX

Configure Fsx2Skydemon with the IP address of your iPad or Android tablet.

Start Skydemon on your tablet and set it to use x-plane input.

There is a little help document to assist with setup.

Hi mate, i used your link before and it worked fine however i have recently lost the files and am trying to replace them, would you be able to re-upload the files to a new link as this one has expired???

Please.



Duncan.

Hi everybody,
Sorry, I've been off the radar for a while. I had no idea people were using Fsx2Skydemon!
I have posted a new version to my OneDrive at
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=62A857FB93775AA!30579&authkey=!AHrS2FtIdbDIlZw&ithint=file%2czip
This version corrects the problem that European users have been experiencing with European number formats, and does away with the need to change your computer's regional settings to get it to work.
I have also updated the documentation to try to help users that have had trouble connecting to Skydemon
Thanks to Wolfram & Johan for their feedback.

All the best

Colin


Hi Colin,

first of all I´d like to pay maximum respect to your work providing your free (!) FSX2SkyDemon Software!!  Wow, what a joy to work with!
Since about one week I use SkyDemon on my iPad for real flight navigation. I tried several things while airborne to refine settings on SD. With your fine piece of software it ist possible to do this at home with FSX.

‌"by accident" ‌‌‌I fell into this thread "connecting FSX to iPad"  - I never thought about this before! So I thought: try it!

Working through this thread I found your software, cuevisions ‌‌post (later on) gave me trust
‌a) to install and
‌b) to try this connection between FSX and SD.

‌‌From the first second on it worked like a charm!!! Love it! It gives the chance to explore the behavior of Sky Demon under "real" flight conditions and it gives the possibility to fine-tune the settings for warnings and so on in Skydemon.

What a great idea! What a fine, shiny piece of software Colin made and of course tnx to the sky demon team to provide the interface.
Thanks‌ Colin for "acting instead of chattering" and everybody here who helped and spent time developing the interface FSX2SD

kind regards,
Renzo

PS: ASUS laptop, WIN 8.1, FSX
PSS: I don´t know where you´re from but if you show up to my area (south germany) drop me a line and we go flying - if you like!

UNBELIEVABLE!!

All Credits to Collin, with his great, free and working program. It took me about 5 minutes to get it work. All other programs I tried were difficult to setup and never worked.

- I use P3D version 3.2,
- I use SkyDemon on my iPad (paid version)

Download his latest version:

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=62A857FB93775AA!30579&authkey=!AHrS2FtIdbDIlZw&ithint=file%2czip

- Setup software, 1 minute
- In Settings of the program from Collin, I filled in the IP of my iPad
- Told SkyDemon on my iPad to work with X-plane -> Setup/Connectivity Options/XPlane
- On the right upper corner of SD on my iPad -> Go Flying/Use Xplane
- My plane is visible on EHRD, F2

Thats it. Collin keep on the good job.

Regards,
Ed

I know this thread is inactive for months, but a new plugin for FSx and Prepar3D is available from Flight1 software : http://www.flight1tech.com/Products/SimulationUtilities/ForeFlightPlug-in.aspx

I‌t's free, just need a email to registered. It's a plug-in, so no need to launch something in parallel of FSx/P3D. No need to enter IP adress or anything else according that the plugin broadcast information on your Wi-Fi network. Just need to install and connect your iPad Skydemon and FSx/P3D on the same Wi-Fi network.‌

Folks, can anybody help me?
Just installed fsx2skydemon from last link.
Once FSX starts fsx2skydemon shows green which means it's connected to FSX however later on while flying ther's no data transmited from FSX to fsx2skydemon (no position in right top corner, no airplane on the chart, data button is not flashing)  hence can't even try to connect it to SD on mini IPad (waiting for location is permanent).
Few times checked and all settings of fsx2skydemon are "as per book".
Anybody knows what problem may I experience? Any settings in FSX? Should I install something else besides fsx2skydemon?
I'd appreciate an assistance since it seems very usefule for training.
All the best
