Hi Reno,
I don't know whether this info could help you, but anyway...
I have used XCSoar (on my WinMo 6.1 PDA) with Condor Simulator connected
throught Bluetooth. In my situation I have connected to "Bt serial service"
from DEVICE (PDA) to PC (so PC acts as "slave device", PDA is a "master").
This situation conforms with situation in "real life" because you usually
connect your PDA/Android device (master) to some "slave" GPS device (GPS,
logger, ...) - so I asume, that in your situation your Mac with SilentWings
should acts as such GPS (slave) device.
Try to enable (configure) serial profile on your Mac BT driver and then connect
to it with Android Device/XCSoar.
I hope it could help.
Regards,
Roman.
