GPS Display and hardware but in full screen mode..

Featured Replies

Hi All, My simpit is nearing completion and I have started to look at GPS options for some added immersion..

I checked out the vrinsight 5 but I am put off by the fact that fsx has to run in windowed mode, you see I use 3 projectors in nvidia 3d vision, putting fsx into windowed mode means I cannot run the screens in 3d.

Next there is the Emuteq gns 530 which works with reality XP's gns 530, but again it must be run in windowed mode.

I will keep on looking but does anyone know of a solution that will work with FSX in fullscreen or a workaround, im thinking maybe fsuipc gpsout with the GPS software on a networked PC and the hardware from vrinsight or emuteq but have found no info on this just that rxp does run over a network..

Of course it does not have to be a gns530 any garmin unit would be ok but the hardware I have found is only the 500 or 530.

I have tried fswidgets gplan ect and they are good but want a true GPS simulation.

All the best

Mike

Hi Mike, just throwing this out there, but why not consider running the GPS on a separate touchscreen small monitor. Not a USB type, 'cos they only run in Windowed mode. But if you ran another small VGA monitor, either on another port, or via TH2go, this may offer a solution. OK, it would not be actual hardware as such, but it would be a halfway house, especially if it was touchscreen. Like I said, just athought.
