XPlane 12 does not appear to have the ability to send positions out as NMEA sentences over a serial port. This is a simple tool to provide this functionality.

This tool will locate a running X-Plane 11 or 12 on the network and send NMEA GGA and VTG sentences out over a serial port of your choice.

Until I get around to doing a release, you will have to compile it yourself. This is a fyne applications written in go. The instructions to build fyne apps are found here.

MacOS:

go install fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne@latest
fyne package -os darwin

Or on Windows:

go install fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne@latest
fyne package -os windows

My needs are for GGA and VTG sentences. Yours might be for something else. If so, just create something that implements the Outputter interface and add it to the list of outputters in main.go.
