LINDA Development

LINDA is currently a 32-bit application developed using the Delphi IDE in Pascal. My attempts to convert it to a 64-bit application have hit a barrier with some routines in the FSUIPC SDK library using DWORD variables. Are there any programmers in the LINDA community familiar with 64-bit variables and pointers who could assist me?

I had a home made MCP with Rotary encoder as 2 button for flight, But with most LINDA module I've used (QW787\AS320), to set a HDG say some 100 away is painful. In real aircraft, the MCP knobs will auto accelerate, allow much quicker setting when you rotate the knob fast, While PMDG did that inside their portion(I conncted PMDG with FSUIPC control so no LINDA invoved), they are tuned as real aircraft use a 36click pre loop encoder, while mine only had 20clicks per loop, so it's still need some fine tune. Meanwhile, the FS/P3D's own "acceleration" could stuck you in interval 10 forever, or just jump to 10 way too fast even when using with mousewheel. …

After some lengthy searching I have had no luck finding a module for the FeelThere E-Jets v3 and was wondering if anyone here has done work, or knows of someone who has done work on such a LINDA module they would be generous enough to share?

Hi Günther, hi Andrew, The 21 drivers are currently available free of charge from IRIS.http://www.irissimulations.com.au/ols/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=55 This is a wonderful turboprop trainer, unfortunately you cannot control the map with the standard commands. It would be nice if there was a module there, since the plane also runs in the P3Dv5.

Hello, I am looking for some help to write a small function that calls upon default FSX autopilot behaviour. Here is how the sim behaves right now for ATT (attitude hold mode). When ATT hold is entered, the Autopilot reverts to roll hold for lateral control. I am looking for a way to keep the existing lateral mode when ATT hold is entered - so it can be used for enroute climbs and descents. It is possible to manually re-engage NAV or HDG mode. However, I would like to create a custom function that goes something like this: function flight_level_change () is NAV mode engaged? if yes - AP_ATT_HOLD AP_NAV_HOLD else - AP_ATT_HOLD …

Hello everybody! So here I am again asking the community for help regarding my setup. I have Fsuipc and linda setup in my pc and all is good up to this point. I have built myself an fcu for an a320 with rotary encoders from ebay and plug and play leo bodnar 32 button interface. I connected the wires from the encoders to the interface and then I connected it to the pc and it works. Linda sees it and I can use everything in fsx, all good. Here's the problem and I'll make an example to make it easier to understand.When I try to use the rotary encoders, lets the one connected to position 13 and 14(speed), it doesn't work properly(this happens both in fsx and in linda). …

Now I want to fly the Airbus big plane, only BBS330 / 340, so I want to know if there is a plan for the BBS330 / 340 module.

Following recent reports and investigation into concurrent use of the old PMDG 737NGX and the new PMDG 737NGXu, I have made some changes to the way LINDA references a specific module. I would appreciate some assistance to test the changes. I am seeking users with both aircraft installed. There will be a new version of LINDA, 3.1.0, and changes required to the ident.lua file for each 737 module.

Hello, to complete the doors for the A330 can you please add the AFT doors in the next update.

Hello, I have just a kind of suggest which is set the Unicode UTF-8. As a Chinese user, i really want use Unicode UTF-8, then i can set for GSX or something else, but if I set it to Unicode UTF-8, i can not use LIND to connect P3D any more. I really want your guys can fix it. Thank you very much!:) And hope you reply :):) Rudi

Hi, Are there any plans for the Aerosoft A330? Thank you,

Hello, will there be a module for the Quality Wings 787 ? If so, when is it expected. Many Thanks. Claus

I sent Guenter a note about this, but didn't hear back so I thought I'd ask here. The NGXu module is SUPERB! There is 2 way functionality between the MCP and the a/c and there is perfect rotational acceleration and no lag of digits- just BRILLIANT! Could this ability be applied to the remainder of the PMDG product line please? The 744 module especially is a bit problematic, requiring rolling of the knobs back and forth to sync with the a/c correctly. Also, the functions transfer only one way, so that if the ALT is changed in the VC, then you have to twiddle the knob on the MCP to get a sync. As I said- the NGXu module is perfection itself. Thanks for any co…

Hello. I have the A2A Spitfire 1.9 Linda module and am compiling a user.lua file. But ! I want to have two switches, 1 for each panel light as in the superb A2A simulation, oh and real life! EDIT: - (The Lvars are not in the Linda module. Searched the Lua Variables for Panel, Instruments, Lights, etc, the A2A Lvar list states Flood lights (A:LIGHT PANEL,bool) (>K:PANEL_LIGHTS_TOGGLE) But I am at a loss hereafter. what does >K: mean ?) I have scanned the offsets 0x0d0c from 1 to 500 and all I get is both on both off, not individually switched by a different parameter? I cannot figure out what is individually (diffe…

Hi all, I'm not sure this is the right place for this question but it does involve the tracer and editor so I'm here for now. Is it true that the Lvars listed in the lefthand column of the 'hunting' console, are the only outputs from FSX that can have a value in LINDA? I ask this because in calling an event.Lvar, in this case "fuel total quantity" the editor returns a 'nil value' error. Sure enough, in the hunter Lvars list, there is no sign of any fuel related Lvars. This is curious because I can examine the fuel total quantity with an event.offset (0x1264, "UD") etc but I would prefer to use an event.Lvar because of the timer. I am using an add …

I found this script on the Internet : https://forum.simflight.com/topic/76236-majestic-q400-v-speed-calculator-and-setter/ , but unfortunately the creator of this script is offline... the script is very good, but it has some flaws and it is very difficult to make changes to it without the knowledge of the scrip;( everything is good, you just need to add a correction in the wind, but the landing speed is Vref and Vapp, which is not entirely correct, correct Vref and VCLIMB(need for go-around). since there is already a Vref, you only need to change the Vapp to VCLIMB, work with data on VCLIMB should be minimal since values are very small and they are tied to …

Guenter- You know I am a fan, and now that the updated version is out for v4.5 could we please revisit this? I have BOTH this version and the Aerosoft An-2 (also just updated). Is it possible for the one module to work with both? If not, the AT version should be mostly ok, as it is the updated Sibwings version, nicht? Grosse Danke! C

Hi to all. i'am tryng to implement some functions to fslabs A320 script. Probably i'am encountering a no solution problem: my wishi is to detect the korry light switch state, i tried with the tracer but i can't find anythings about. Any suggestion for pointing me in the right directoin ? Thank you Claudio

Hi, Is anyone planning to make a Linda LUA file for the new Carenado ATR42? It would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Ben

Hi guys, Is it possible to trigger an existing xml gauge macro from Linda ? Cheers Stinger

I would like to program some buttons on my joystick to control my mixture and prop rpms, but those controls don't seem to be programmed in any of the stock Linda libs. Am I just overlooking it? If not, I guess I need to edit one of the user scripts for this purpose. Can someone help with a script with functions to control the mixture and/or props? Or point me in the right direction where I could write the functions myself? Thanks. Gil

Hello Any chance of a linda module for the new just flight duchess be76, thanks for your super work, just curious are they hard to build, what skills would you need to do it also another great twin is the milviz 310 r redux, would be great to have a linda module for that one at some point Thanks Wayne

I made the assumption that the new Leonardo Maddog would use, if not the same code, at least the same variable names as their earlier version. On this basis, I tested out the old module. Obviously it needs the 'ident' entry changing to 'simfolder="Maddogx"', so that the binding will occur. It works, although to what extent I'm not sure yet, because I'm in the middle of testing as I write, but I've got it working on some AP buttons, rotaries, and external lights. I'd be interested in the experience of others.

Hi, The link to these files are orphaned. Anyone has both zip and pdf file saved somewhere, if yes could you please upload them?

I'm a beta tester for the new FSLabs A320. I currently fly the Aerosoft Airbus series using the VRInsight FMCU running the excellent Linda software. (Linda also allows me to fly a host of other aircraft using the FMCU ranging from the PMDG 777 through to Concorde) My question is aimed principally at Guenseli: are you planning to produce a module for the FSLabs Bus when it is released? (Do hope so!!) Thanks to all who have worked so hard on this project!
