Does anyone know if there is an easy way to interface with the Garmin 430 desktop sim? I'm looking at redirecting sim output to drive the 430 so that you can get some practice flying the actual software rather than the limited FS version. I really don't feel like poking around in program memory to make this work.

Pete Dowson's FSUIPC program along with GPSOut...

For FS9 this is two seperate products.

For FSX GPSOut is part of the FSUIPC service.

"Provides GPS style output on a COM port, for connection to FliteMap, AutoRoute, or other atlases and moving map programs which accept standard NMEA 0183 format input. (for FS98/FS2000/FS2002) doc update December 6th 2005 (31 KB)

Note: For FSX this facility is part of FSUIPC4 and needs user registration."

Interesting stuff. I'm still not sure if the 430 desktop sim will accept input on COM, or any other input for that matter. I have not been able to find anything about interfacing to the software online. Interfacing it to a real unit would be interesting, but I don't know if it'll be worth the sacrifice to do it(those things arent' cheep).
