How to make old tacx trainers compatible with FE-C?

My I-flow trainer has VR-Interface, connected to pc via usb.
It has very simply protocol: each 50 millisec ftom PC to VR-Interface transmited resistance value and get current resistance, speed and cadence in responce. I have c++ programm that can read/write this values.
Based on this four values, there are easy way to do compatibility with FE-C?

So absolutely no possibility for old trainers adopt for FE-C programmatically? Fe-c require only hardware support.

You'd have to use your own ANT device to transmit the data over ANT+ using the ANT+ Fitness Equipment Device Profile. This could be an ANT USB stick or a module which supports ANT.

But for it need modify old trainer hardware part. I connect old trainer usb->pc. To support ant need
old trainer usb - hardware transmitter-> ANT usb stick -> pc.
But it very complicated way, so can say ANT absolutely incompatible with old devices.
