I managed to make it work under Windows with my Garmin GPS III Pilot. For that, I had to restore the \r you removed from each sub messages. I don't understand why you removed them because the CVS comment implies they are needed, or the stream is opened in text mode under Linux, adding an undesired one. Under Windows the stream is opened in binary mode so \r is needed in the code. I won't commit my change before knowing your thought about that. When the line ending issue is cleared, transmission has to be done at 9600 bauds, 8 data bits, no parity. The channel parameters only set the baud rate, so one has to enter the following command at the window command prompt before starting fg : c:\> mode com1 data=8 parity=n that should display the new parameters. This command doesn't work when the port is already opened. Then the GPS Unit has to be put in simulation mode ( menu in the satellite page ), and the 'Aviation In' protocol must be activated in the Interface page of the system setup. Finally start fgfs with the option --AV400=serial,out,5,com1,9600 There is a handy freeware under windows to monitor serial ports : http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Portmon.html -Fred -- Frédéric Bouvier http://frfoto.free.fr Photo gallery - album photo http://www.fotolia.fr/p/2278 Other photo gallery http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ FlightGear Scenery Designer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
