The remarkably talented guys at http://www.cockpitware.com have a really nice and lightweight remote navigation system that looks really cool – for a shed-load less money than Project Magenta (i.e. none).

Tested the other night .. worked with FS9 but for some reason as yet to be determined not with FSX. Screen shot below shows the display running on a Samsung NC-10 web-book mini laptop under the 28” simulator screen with an FS9 PSS Dash 8-300 (from the game Airline Pilot).

Set-up was simple .. FS9 machine (A) has the server code installed to communicate FS9 offsets to the OGS client running on the laptop (B). FSUIPC is not used as I am mean and don’t want to pay for it while testing this set-up – I am using IOCP which is free. FSX machine and laptop talk over WiFi. OGS client laptop has OGS code installed

Really cool stuff .. check-out the code – took 5 mins to set-up. Can’t wait for the FMC to be released.
