I have not taken a detailed look at the GPSout function within FSUIPC - does it use an IP/port combination to allow access to it's NMEA data? If so, I may be able to access some type of virtual COM port/network device from the iPad end of things, but that's where it kind of falls apart for me solution-wise - There doesn't appear to be any easy way to access that type of IP driven networked content from within either the ForeFlight or Air Navigation Pro apps (in the instructions for the marine navigation program referenced above, their iPad app contains a feature specific for grabbing IP-based NMEA information from a wireless network PC, which completes their link nicely).Īn FSX-related variation of the above example is FSWidgets' iGMapHD app for the iPad:

There actually is a marine navigation app that uses NMEA information sent from a PC via Wifi to the iPad, and they do provide instructions of how to set up the linkage:

I have an external GNS 5870 MFI GPS that connects via Bluetooth (I don't have the 3G version of the iPad, so I do not have the built-in A-GPS component). > How does your real GPS in your aircraft connect to the iPAD?

Are there any PC applications which do talk "NMEA" with your iPAD apps? If so then you could probably discover how to do this with a USB Port Monitor program, such as that from Aggsoft. The latest Lua com library includes facilities for handling USB devices. Or, you could experiment with a Lua plug-in to FSUIPC.

If it could be treated as a normal serial port then the standard GPSout facilities in FSUIPC4 might work once you find the right port name and sentences.
The iTunes driver obviously exploits other parts of its interface, and it is those you would need to tap into. In any case I suspect you'd need a specific USB driver written to do the PC end, as at present when you connect an iPAD to a PC it is registered to it as an external disk drive. How does your real GPS in your aircraft connect ot the iPAD? Or are you, for that use, using the iPAD's own GPS? If the latter, then are you sure the iPAD application even accepts NMEA positional data to override the internal GPS readings? I fly my flight plans on FSX shortly before flying real world flights, and it would be fantastic if I could use the same iPad app on the practice flight that I'll be using on the real flight. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck using FSUIPC4 to create a virtual COM port/GPS connection to allow NMEA formatted co-ordinate data to be sent from FSX to the iPad to be used by real world flight apps (such as Air Navigation Pro and ForeFlight).
