LINDA Development

Hello dear LINDA users, as there are from time to time several requests for this and that addon, I will just clarify how this is handled. - You are of course free to request a module. - LINDA is a community project, in other words, everybody is adressed to create and share modules for addons. - I'm (guenseli) do not feel adressed automatically if someone asks to make a LINDA module for addon XYZ. I just do modules for addons I like to fly (yes, I have to buy them myself) - what addons do I (guenseli) like? every Accusimmed A2A plane, PMDG stuff, Majestic and every other system deep addon. Therefore you can be sure to get for that kind of addons a modul…

As LINDA users will be aware I have let the real world get in the way of LINDA development and support. This busy period should come to an end towards the end of Oct 15. Please use this thread to lodge any suggestions for improvements and to raise any issues users are experiencing with LINDA 2.6.3. Even you have been in touch with me please post a detailed description of the problem and how to reproduce it. I cannot promise that everything will be included but it will allow me to assess the workload. Note: LINDA 2.6.4 has been issued to fix a problem with odd characters on the VRI Combo 2 (Boeing) panel and may fix some Range Check error reports.

Hi, here's a short introduction to how to create Mouse Macros in FSUIPC for use with LINDA. What is it: A Mouse Macro is kind of like a recorded mouse click, which you then later can replay to get the same effect. It normally works very well, but there are a few limitations: Not everything works with mouse macros. There is no simple rule for this, you will just have to try. The recorded marcros probably only works for the version of the plane they were recorded in. If a new version of the plane is released, then the macros need to be recorded again for that version. You can use a different livery without problems, but you will have to check to see whether dif…

Several LINDA users have reported incompatibility problems with Device Cannot Be Opened and other errors. Unfortunately, despite detailed investigation and analysis of the source code, I have been unable to identify the source of the errors messages or the cause. Certain touch screens and pads seem to feature in the reports. The devices identified so far are: Synaptics Touch Pad (vid 1532/pid 002b) - part of Razer SWTOR game keyboard Touch Computer (vid 04b4/pid c001) Viewsonic TD2420 (vid 0408/pid 3008) Elo Touchsystems (04e7/pid 0050) If you have experienced any similar problems then please report them together with their device VID/PID numbers.

Bonjour , I started with ChatGpt, but I would prefer to get help on this forum if possible! My goal: Checklist for cessna 172 G1000 (very basic no verification of the action because too complicated for me at least for the beginning) Process: 1) the Checklist will have to be read by the W10 voice recognition which works relatively well either SAPI or Cortana. 2) the voice will read the items one by one and to move on to the next one: - either I can answer by my voice (if it is possible to integrate into lua) - or I press a Rac (keyboard or joystick) which will mean = next *************************************************Exemple Script**…

Hi Does Linda work with MSFS 2024 Thanks Wayne

Hi developers, I am currently working on a profile for the Dash. If someone would like to help me, we could define sections for each to create a complete one. ...just t avoid to work in parallel Happy landings, pero

Hi Everyone, I hope you anybody can help me or to give me a good tip? I have been using VRInsight's MCP Combo II Boeing until recently. But since I am building a homeckpit B777, I am of course trying to buy and install the hardware as realistic as possible 🙂 From www.flightsimpm.com I bought the landing gear lever + EFIS + Panelswitch for the B777 and run them all with the Linda software. Recently I bought a MCP from the company SimTek with a COM Port via RS232 to USB Connection.... As it is very close to the real MCP. Unfortunately SimTek does not offer any software to the MCP 😔and according to SimTek, users have to create their own software t…

Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this question. Question: how do I write and implement a LUA script (assuming this is the correct tool) to cause a specific engine on a light twin (Carenado Baron B58) to fail at a specific airspeed (IAS)? Background: The Carenado Baron responds correctly to the P3D Engine X failure (on/off) command when a hardware button is assigned to it. I'm guessing then that it might be possible to "wire" this command to a script to trigger as the a/c accelerates during takeoff. It would be useful to be able to do this to facilitate my CMEL checkride with VATSTAR. Thanks in advance.

Any possibility of creating a Module for the MSFS2020 Leonardo MaddogX to work with the VRinsight MCP2 Boing Hardware, Willing to help as needed Thanks very Much. PMPG

Hey guys, after searching a lot I still did not find a solution. I would like to read a control event paramater, and depending on this parameter value, I would send an control event. Example: The COM1 audio panel can be selected to On with the Control Event 66964, Parameter 1, and to Off with Parameter 0. What would be the correct syntax for programming? I have used this but it does not work: function COM1_RECEIVER_toggle () COM1_receiver_state = read ipc.control("66964") -> I know this is wrong and I didn't find the correct syntax how to read a parameter of a given control event if COM1_receiver_state == 1 -> if the COM1 Audio is On …

Hi Any possibility of creating a Module for the new Hjet in MSFS 2020 to work with the VRinsight MCP2 Boing Hardware Thanks Wayne

Hi, I'm now trying to make a HGJ Mecure module for my own use, mostly for AutoPilot function, so far so good, the only problem is Heading bug I use: function DM_HDG_dec() local HDG = ipc.readLvar("L:HDG HOLD") HDG = HDG - 1 if HDG < 0 then HDG = 359 end ipc.writeLvar("L:HDG HOLD",HDG) end function DM_HDG_inc() local HDG = ipc.readLvar("L:HDG HOLD") HDG = HDG + 1 if HDG > 359 then HDG = 000 end ipc.writeLvar("L:HDG HOLD",HDG) end To input heading knob, while the heading window on AP panel shows correct and AP flies what shown here in degree, the BUG on HSI jumps about 50 more degree (about exactly 1…

Hello all, Has anyone a profile for the MSFS A32NX (flybywiresim/a32nx) ? Thank you

I now want get back to try updated CS737CLs (-3/4/500), but I also have CS737-200(and ADVs), the 200 hav totally different system, but 300,400 and 500 are on same LVARs, if I name the profile as CS737, it'll go for all from 200 to 500, but if I name it CS737-x00, it only got one variant at one time, I want get all -300/-400/-500 to use same profile and different one for -200 only. Any help?

I would very much like to have both the Boeing MCP and the Boeing CDU II. However it appears this is not possible at the moment. Morever there are no plans to modify LINDA to be able to do so. See this thread: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/539229-linda-for-vrinsight-cdu-ii-fcu-mcp-combo-ii/?tab=comments#comment-3874921 A dialog with the Linda developer yielded this: "Adding bespoke support of the CDUII would involve not insignificant changes to the LINDA GUI similar to the MCP pages. Access to the physical hardware would be required for at least 6 months and retention would allow continued support. Details of the interface requirements from VRInsight would …

@guenseli I see the 717 module is T version 0.9. No work on it since July 2017. With version 1.1 official release in a matter of days can we, hopefully, get more work on it? Much appreciated.

Hi, At first time, sorry for my bad English. I have isntalled X-Plane 11 with XPUIPC v2.0.4.8. I run XP11 and run Linda.exe (inside P3dv4\modules folder). If I push on "Reload LUA engine", I can read inside XP11 screen the same message that I read in P3Dv4: ¡¡Linda restarting...!!, and on LINDA... "Everything is ok!!" 3 times on greeen. Ok, then I suposse that XPUIPC and LINDA can talk between them and has communication. Of course, the VRI MCP Combo 2 not connect with XP11. Is possible that this be the biginning for XP11 with LINDA? Thanks and best regards.

Good news, the P3D actions for the DC 6 also work in MSFS. I haven't tested everything, just the ones I need so far.

First- a BIG thank-you to @ScotFlieger and @guenseli for the MSFS default aircraft module. I look forward to its continued evolution as the sim grows. In re other aircraft, I read the issue was the state of the SDK, I also read that the SDK is evolving with each patch. Is it possible to get an update on this occasionally? I am (at the moment) most interested in the Carenado Mooney, but as the market grows, my needs will too. It's very difficult to fly without LINDA! Thanks again! C

Hello has anyone a profile for the Captain Sim 757-200/300 and can upload it here? thx Martin

I made a small macro to control the TER ON ND button with the VRinsight MCP. In the following a short instruction to reproduce. Simply sharing is not possible because the mouse macro depends on the screen resolution. The tricky part of this button in contrast to the other buttons is that you need 2 mouseflags for the mouse macro. First you have to run the mouseflag: 3 (Left single click) and then 13 (Left release) one after the other. In detail I did this as follows: A. I created a mouse macro in FSUIPC named FSLA3XX_SL.MCRO with the following content: [Macros] 1=TER_ON_ND1=RX22002004,3 2=TER_ON_ND2=RX22002004,13 Attention:the numerical values behind RX depend o…

Hi ScotFlieger, hi devs, I was fiddling around with Pete Dowsons "TripleUse.lua" which allows to assign also functions to single press, release like in LINDA and also doublePress and longPress functions. As i found that thread and figured out, that it is not possible to contribute via Fork + PR, i'd kindly ask whether adding those double-press and long-press functions for assignment in LINDA as it would be ways more convenient than doing that in lua scripts. Do you think that might be a future feature? Best regards, Joe

Hello, I am using Linda 3.2.6. When I am selecting "Developer Mode" in "Setup Linda" the "Linda Tracer" and Linda Editor" activates. But if I klick another Windows and then back to Linda, the "Developer Mode" deactivates automatically. Even "Linda Logging" setting in "Linda Console" behaves the same, setting is gone when leaving window. The setting is stored in "linda-gui.ini", but when it automatically deactivated, this deactivation is synced to confilg file. I also tried to activate Dev-Mode via direct entry to config file, but it is immediately overwritten. Linda did not behave like this in previous versions is used. Is there a way to activate Dev-Mo…

Hi all, Just a quick question in hope rather then expectation. Is there any likelihood of a Phenom 300 LINDA module at any time? cheers Stinger
