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 Roland,

I'm not sure I have a solution. I can't quite work out what has gone wrong.
Try this link to an updated version here.

I think it may be looking for the .Net framework. You will need .Net 4. If it is not on your computer already, this installer should hopefully set it up for you.

Try it & please let me know how it goes.

Hi Colin,
thanks for your reply. I'll give it a try this afternoon and let you know, if it works.

Hi Colin,
installation worked fine now. I did the setup for linking my Android Samsung Galaxy Note. I started SkyDemon on the tablet. On my FSX-PC the Data indicator is flashing. So is the Tx indicator. But no indication on the tablet. I've opened up ports 49001 and 49002 on my router for the ip-adress of the tablet. No change. Ping for the tablet works fine. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
One more note: SkyDemon is simply closed when FSX2Skydemon is sending data.
Appreciate your help very much.

Hi Colin,
good news today. After I was fiddeling around a bit, I saw this message about the . and ,. I've changed my settings of Windows 7 and it works.
Thanks again.

Best regards
Roland

Even P3D works with it..... GREAT!

Best regards
Roland

Hi Roland,given that I am having the problem you used to have, could you please explain me which Windows 7 settings did you change?
Thanks in advance!

I'd also be grateful for help on this Colin.

Your program hooks up with FSX and transmits data but I can't get the green 'waiting for location bar' to disappear on Skydemon  on the ipad.  I've set the 'out' address as the ip address of the ipad and ticked all the boxes on your program.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks
