Hi Magnus,
   What I did was buy and build a PC to rotor control interface. Check 
out the ERC-M USB Kit. It is easy and fun to build and you can mount it 
inside the G-450 controller housing.  I cut a square hole in the back 
for the USB cable and a small hole for the dc power connector.  Ham 
Radio Deluxe interfaces with it and allows click and turn 
functionality.  I am sure most rotor control software will work.

See it here;

You will also need the rotorcard kit.
