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

Wow thanks for the heads up on this one.

OK, better still I've found a free way to connect the iPad, FSX and Skydemon together. http://www.flightsimgps.com/ does the same thing as FSXFlight, but it's gratis.

Many thanks for that link to flightsimgps.

The X-plane Skydemon connection is now working with FSX on my Nexus 7

Hi,
I have the trial for skydemon 3.0.5 on the ipad and downloaded the free FlightSimGPS.
After starting FS2004 I start the skydemon on the ipad and set in the connectivity setting
the X-plane and skydemon waits for the location data.
Then I start the GPS program and it connects to FS2004 but the same time skydemon crashes
and closes down.

Hi Ian can you tell me are you using ipad 1 has the new version of SD needs operating system 6 which is not available on ipad 1 and if so where is the connection info within SkyDemon on ipad

I did get this to work immediately, but the data going to SD seems to have lots of direction changes/spikes so that the experience is not very smooth - ie, the SD track changes direction often and jumps around a lot. Anyone else have this, or know how to smooth the data going to SD? I seem to lose connection intermittently too.

Thanks
