Nav & Position report pgm sharing GPS
I am running an XP comp. When underway, I use winlink connections to
give position report, but when I am running my Navigation program (Cap'n 6.1), the GPS data is unavailable to airmail to get position, course and speed info. Is ther ea way to have the GPS feed more than one com port so that I can do this without closing the nav program to make GPS (or it's com port) visible to airmail? TIA Larry |

TIA Larry http://www.shipmodul.com/en/virtualplex-1.html Meindert Meindert, Thank you, I have downloaded the virtualplex demo and am having trouble getting the programs to recognize the virtual com ports. I have restarted a couple of times and find that 1. device manager does not see the virtual com ports, 2 airmail position reporting does not see the virtuals, 3 when I got the Cap'n to see a virtual port, airmail was told that the master port was busy. Any ideas on fixes here, TIA Larry |

Nav & Position report pgm sharing GPS
Meindert, Thank you, I have downloaded the virtualplex demo and am
having trouble getting the programs to recognize the virtual com ports. I have restarted a couple of times and find that 1. device manager does not see the virtual com ports, Correct. This is because they are not linked to hardware devices and because of the way the program creates these ports. But every normal windows program should be able to open the ports. If they are not listed in a port selection dialog, it is because of the way programs find out which ports are present in a system. There is no uniform way to do that and several methods do or don't come up with virtual ports. airmail was told that the master port was busy. Which is correct, since VirtualPlex opens the master port. So all other apps should open one of the created virtual ports. Regards, Meindert |
