    Hi all ,

    this is my first time making a DIY simulator using X-simulator.

    My job scope is to design a slide switch on a PCB board with the aid of Arudino to control the VOR Indicator on the Microsoft Flight Simulator.
    I used FTDI(Serial Port) to communicate with the Universal Serial Output ( X-sim Profiler) but still not working .

    anyone can help ? Thanks .

    If your intent is to have an external device control a simulator through x-sim, I expect this is not possible. The x-sim version I am using is intended to go the other way only (sim -> x-sim -> external device).

    I heard talk there was work in changing this but I am not familiar with details.
