Dear all, The following question is about a way to connect my simulator to XCSoar on a android phone via BT. Forgive me if I use terms erroneously; I'm not a developer but an end-user. A few months ago I switched from a Windows Mobile device to an Android device and therefore started to use XCSoar. Since version 6.0.5, BT connections are supported. I can now find my Mac in the devices menu. With this feature I hoped to be able to connect to my simulator (SilentWings on Mac OS X) via BT and let the simulator work as a virtual GPS. SilentWings is able to send NMEA output to a serial device (using the SPP/RFCOMM profile?), though not using a PPP/modem profile (this is what I understand from the developers, forgive me if I'm wrong). When I connected my WM6 device to my Mac via BT the serial service from that device was advertised. To connect Silentwings to my device I simply let the NMEA sentences stream to this serial service and it worked. My Android device does not advertise a serial service, when connected to my Mac. I guess that XCSoar uses a BT modem protocol anyhow?
So my question is: how can I connect XCSoar to SilentWings via BT? I was thinking about a way to redirect the serial NMEA stream to a BT modem stream on my Mac first, but I don't know how. If XCSoar is using a SPP/RFCOMM protocol, how can I let my Android device advertise serial services to my Mac? Hoping on a good answer after 3 months of try and error...
