VirtualVP Alternative?

Post by Phil23 »

Been browsing this topic & wonder if either if these Ideas are feasible?

1. For Cumulus to rebroadcast the WS data in the original format on a different TCP port, a bit like a pass thru function?

or

2. For a 3rd party application or driver to read Realtime.txt and make it look like WS data on a given port?

I know little about the communication protocol between devices & the console, and am just thinking out loud for feedback.

I presume some soft of "data buffering" would be required.

Cheers

Phil.
