Possible to Spoof Location/Orientation Data?

A slight departure from the usual hacking of MS Flight Simulator but...

I would like to spoof the aircraft location/orientation data during program execution.  Is this possible?  For example, I would like to throw a laptop with a GPS (For Lat/Lon/Altitude) on an airplane, connect it to the flight control computer (For pitch/yaw/roll) and have flight simulator show me a picture of the the aircrafts position and orientation.  Has anyone tried this?  

A bonus, but not required, would be the ability to feed in airspeed/flap position/tat/control surface position/etc., and have these show up on the gauges and aircraft model.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
