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

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 colin,

any chance do make it working for FS9?

Hi there - I set this up and can see that the app is receiving data from FSX, and 'transmitting to SD' but SD never picks it up. I've set the IP address to the one on the wifi connection on my iPad - but not sure where you get info on the ports - could this be the problem?

Kind regards

Francois

Hi Colin,
unfortunately the installation is aborted. When I run setup.exe it says:
http://deepthought/fsx2skydemon/fsx2skydemon.application konnte nicht heruntergeladen werden.
Is there anything I can do to workaround this problem?
I've checked the link on http://deepthought. It doesn't exist anymore.
Can you give me any help please?
I use SykDemon for Android version 3.0.7.19226 on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.
Thanks in advance
