I think I have this working on my Surface Pro 4 using my USB GPS. I installed GPS Complete which maps the Com port to serial. The thing I discovered is if I unplug the GPS and plug it back in when switching apps, it reestablishes a connection. However, I still cannot connect to my Stratux or SkyGuard. Oh yes, this is using AMIDuOS emulator.

Perhaps delete the portforward then add back?

No joy. Does it matter which directory the port forwarding tool is located in when you forward the ports? Maybe I need to reboot the computer. I'll try that.

EDIT: Nope, reboot didn't help.

Well, I was wrong. GPS DOES NOT work in Android mode. It works great in Windows with the GPS Complete program running in the background.

FltPlan Go now has a Windows 10 version that looks like it might be working with my Surface Pro 4 and SkyGuard. So far, I haven't tried it in the car or airplane and haven't seen any traffic, but I'm getting a lot of green lights on the ADS-B set-up using ILevel. It also has detected my location and altitude, so that's encouraging.

EDIT: Traffic will be added with next release.

Just to be clear, I much, much prefer iFly GPS, but FltPlan Go is an acceptable Windows 10 alternative for armchair flying until AP makes their Windows 10 version available.
