Hi mnewbery,I just finished writing an application that listens to datagrams 18, 20 and 21 for X-Plane 9 latest demo.The demo was set to output to localhost (ip address 127.0.0.1) port 49001 and UDP. The listener processed these values and output them to both a flat file and the user interface.I am using this application to create a protocol that does the same thing in Flight Gear 2.6.0 I order to drive OzRunways in simulator mode. There might be differences in X-Plane 10.8 but I'll worry about that when I find them.
If anyone wants a copy of the source code written for C# VS2013 express edition please PM me. Note that the X-Plane output is little-endian and the bit converter in .Net Framework for Windows is also little-endian. It should be that way for Mac/UNIX (Mono) too but I'm not sure. Except the datagram index. That will be different depending on X-Plane for Mac or Windows. Stupid!
If anyone has successfully output the NMEA GPS data from their simulator to a Bluetooth COM port please let this forum know the details because that would have been a lot easier and more generally applicable than what I am attempting. Finally the NMEA GPS output is different to the output required by the iPad but I don't know what the difference is.
I'm planning to develop an iOS and/or Android app in combination with XP11 to plot the flight track and make the autopilot and radio's available on the device.
I can't see how to send you a PM, so can you please can you give me a hint how to start the communication trough tcp/ip?
Thanks in advance, Ruud

Hi mnewbery,
Thank you for your information!
This will be a good starting point to explore.
