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

Regards

I see some of you are still struggling.
‌Well it was some time ago I was trying my best too, it took me weeks if not months and finally I gave up.
‌Tried everything, all kind of settings including FSUIPC and so on.
‌Recently I have decided to try again on the same machine but before it happened I had changed system from Win 8 to Win 7.
‌Guess what. Once fsxtoskydemon was installed within seconds got connected and AC position was displayed on IPad!!!
‌Just IPad IP to be properly set.
No FSUIPC no any other soft. Just fresh Win 7, rough (no any addons) FSX steam and fsxtosky‌demon.
Than I did it on anther machine, same - changing sys from Win 8 to Win 7 first. Same smooth and successful installation.
I wasted  a lot of time but it looks like the  problem was in op system or it's settings I never have discovered..
Good luck everybody and don't give up!!!
‌It's cool to practice on sim having more feelings like it was real world.



Hello together,
Yesterday I did a n‌ew installation of FSX and FSX 2 skydemon on my desktop and also on my laptop.
I switched of the Firewall and the antivirus protection‌, but no succes.
On both computers Win 7 is runnung and .Net Framwork 4.7.1 is installed.
I also tried it with the forefligt tool - nothing happend
I installed the registerd FSUIPC too l- nothing append
I run FSX as Admin - nothing happend

The status is: on the running FSX 2 Skydemon window the green light indicates, that FSX is connected, but no Data and TX indication as described in a former post.
I think, I give up‌, sorry, I have no other ideas



I suggest that you check the settings of fsx2skydemon.  In particular check the IP address being used.  Then check the WIFI settings on your Ipad to check its IP address.  If the 2 IP addresses don't match you must change the IP address in the FSX2Skydemon program, then exit fsx2skydemon and re-start the program.

Y‌our ipad may well get a different IP address each time it re-connects to your wifi network (assuming dynamic IP address allocation is used) so you may have to repeat the re-setting of the fsx2skydemon ip address each time you wish to link FSX to your ipad.‌

Hi George,
thank you for the quick response.
But I have checked all this.
I think the failure is the missing communication between FSX and FSX2skydemon and not between FSX2skydemon and the Ipad.
Its a big questionmark for me.

Attached is a screenshot of my setup.  FSX running on PC under windows10.  Green FSX Status light in FSX2Skydemon is on.  Data and TX lights flash Green every few seconds all showing that FSX and FSX2Skydemon are correctly talking to each other and that FASX2Skydemon is broadcasting to my Ipad
