I have managed to find a lead that will allow you to stream the NMEA data from FSX or FS9 straight into an iPad or iPhone, the first time I had it setup and running I had the "where is my iPhone" server convinced that I was sitting on the end of the runway in Seattle. Anybody who is interested just send me an email via my web site and I can give you the details. Cheers Mark Rainman Simulators
