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 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

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!
