OK so I found a solution, I think, I changed the COM port number to COM3.
That seems to work but now FLIGHTGEAR will not accept inputs for some
reason, when I set as shown below, FG just sits there and spins its wheels.
If I set it up for output that works just fine. In addition to that I can't
setup two generic protocols one for input and one for output, when I do that
I just get an error can not open com port. I'm beginning to think that
communication through the serial port doesn't work at all.
