A few mistakes contained in the original Guidebook have been corrected and a few graphics updated in version 1.1 (June, 2011). The v 1.1 changes (491 KB) or the entire v 1.1 document (7,645 KB) can be downloaded from the Blackbox website: http://www.robbiemcelrath.com/blackbox/?guide Cheers, Bob

After struggling for some time with many of the fs9gps variables and searching the forums for documentation of their use, often in vain, I attempted to fill the gap. What started out as notes on a spreadsheet grew into something more resembling a guidebook, “FS9GPS Module”. It’s a collection of ‘notes to myself’ on the use of the gps module, definitions and examples of its 320 variables, and explanations of the principals of some xml coding techniques such as ICAO Transfer and Cycle Skipping that are used when working with the FS9 gps.dll module. For those interested, it can be downloaded from the BlackBox website: http://www.robbiemcelrath.com/blackbox/?guide Hope you enjoy it! Regards, Bob

A companion to BlackBox2, GPS Viewer is a simple utility that generates xml code to display selected Microsoft Flight Simulator GPS variables while flying. It does not create a stand-alone gauge. Instead, the generated code must be pasted into the xml code of a host gauge that communicates with the gps.dll module. GPS Viewer generates xml code in either FS9 or ACES format and can be used with FS9 / 2004 or FSX. It is a Microsoft Excel application that contains macros to drive Excel User Forms (input forms). For those adventurous enough to begin working with the MSFS GPS module, this utility might help the debugging process. It is freeware that can be dowloaded at http://www.robbiemcelrath.com/blackbox/?gpsv Cheers, Bob
