Don't forget the need for USB TO USB connections on Macs.

Thanks for the directions and pics. Do you know how to identify the comm port on a Mac? Also, do you know if this works on X-Plane 9?

Alright,I downloaded x-Plane so I could test this idea. With version 7.5, which is still in beta (but VERY close to release), this works. First start x-Plane and configure it to pump NMEA data. Then connect your iFly to your computer via the serial port. (if you're connecting two female cables you'll need a null-modem adapter to do this). After a few seconds, voila, you're iFly is tracking your x-Plane flight.

Any idea if this works with FlightGear (flightgear.org)?
