I did nothing special. I only deinstalled gpsd and installed fso-gpsd. Some time ago fso-gpsd wasn't working good at all. But a few weeks ago i tried again to replace gpsd with fso-gpsd and since than it works ok. Interesting is that with fso-gpsd the gps chip is activated as soon as a connection

I haven't success. My FSO is the 'more homework' version 4.1. Installing gpsd really installs fso-gpsd. Installing tangogps complains about having two versions matching gpsg, eg. the fso-gpsd and the compatibility (gpsd) wrapper that seems to be installed with fso-gpsd. What version do you use
