LINDA Development

Hello As iFly B744 user, I would like a LINDA module. Best regards Pierre

Hi ! Falling back into programming... Is there a way to "postpone" a function for a certain amount of milliseconds not freezing everything as ipc.sleep ? Thanks

Is it just me, or would it be extremely amazing to have a module for the dreaded wilco airbuses?I tried to do it myself, but I blew at it...Regards, Majid

Hi all, Linda 2.6.3 I have written some functions in the user.lua of my PMDG777 and placed it in the PMDG777 folder. When I load the aircraft I see in the tracer the message “User´s modification script is loaded”. When I go in LINDA Gui to MCP Combo and right click on a line where I can assign a function to a knob or button I cannot find the functions I have defined in the user.lua. For example I added to user.lua the following lines: function TCAS_MODE_CYC () i = ipc.readLvar("switch_749_a") if i == 0 then TCAS_MODE_alt () elseif i == 10 then TCAS_MODE_xpndr () …

I built my own B737 throttle which works very well with Linda. But I have a problem with the engine cut off and idle buttons. I want to stop the engines (PDMG737) and activate the buttons with the handle on the throttle unit, moving it down to cut off. In the cockpit the handles follow down, but after a couple second they go back to Idle. Have tried different alternatives, but have not been able tol solve this problem. To stop the engines, I must use the mouse on the handles tom make them stay down. Any one experienced the same or have a suggestion?

Hi Scott, I found that is it not possible to assign TAB as a shift value for key press like TAB + C or SHIFT + TAB + C. Would be great to have it in a future update of V2.6.4

LINDA 2.5 is now the recommended version! LINDA 2.0 FORMAL RELEASE (2.0.7) This new release is as a result of Project Linda2Airbus aimed at making the excellent LINDA utility compatible with the VRInsight Airbus FCU Combo. Thanks to the generosity of the original developers in giving me access to the source code I have developed LINDA 2.0 to provide full compatibility with both the Boeing MCPII and Airbus FCU; it has not be tested with the original MCP but should be compatible. This formal release provides full GUI programming for the FCU by expanding LINDA's existing functionality. It has been extensively tested with the Aerosoft Airbus X A320…

Hey Scott, I don't remember weather or not I mentioned it or not, but it would be extremely helpful if clicking save on a script (editor) or button assignment (joystick page) the it reloaded the LUA engine a second later (to give time for the file to save first). After an hour or so of working on a module it gets rather frustrating to have the extra step of switching to the settings page just to hit reload and then back again. Cheers, Bao

Hi everyone, I've been using LINDA for a couple of months now, and first of all, a big THANK YOU! to those that have created this wonderful addon. It makes setting up controls so much easier, I wouldn't know what to do without it anymore. Anyway, I recently did a complete re- install of my system, including P3D 2.5. Since then I'm experiencing a problem with LINDA (using 2.6.3 "v2"). Whenever P3D starts, the LINDA module (linda.exe) is started as well, as it should be. In the sim the LUA display saying "Linda is ready..." appears as usual. However, none of the key commands assigned through LINDA work, no matter what I do. When opening the LINDA interface, it is imposs…

I just started using linda and have a question. Using the linda tracer and console I found LVAR:cabinAltGoal=0 and it increases to =10500 and back to =0 The knob in the vc works with the scroll of the middle mouse wheel. Would anyone know how to write this for linda to make it work from a switch on the Saitek joystick? Thanks in advance :smile:

Hello! I try to understand why the freewares that are around of Flight Simulator, as many exposes its source code, do not declare open source licenses. There are many scripts to run a same aircraft, and all the works, if were managed publicly in a version control system, Git repositories at GitHub, for example, it would be much better. Perhaps the fact of we are using Microsoft's closed APIs is a disincentive to look for a suitable license model. But I'm sure you can find it. There is the possibility of the Microsoft have interest in guide us about. Projects are already scattered around and she just needs to get more involved with them, taking the opportunity …

hello everybody, I´m a newbe with LINDA and try to assign the engine start of the A318/319 to my Saitek throttle quadrant Can assign the buttons, but it doesn´t work. Linda version 1.13 LINDA-Module Aerosoft 318/319/320/321, Version 4.3 Thanks in advance DIeter

Hello everyone, Adding some stuff to a aircraft module and trying to use event.timer function from the event.lua. When I run linda it says event cannot be found. Any ideas why it is not finding the function from the event.lua. Thanks, Chris

I have written a function that scans all of the switches on all of the joysticks you have connected and determines whether each switch is ON or OFF. It then calls the Lua functions you have associated with those switches in LINDA. This ensures that your FSX aircraft is in sync with your switches. It seems to work pretty well for me, so I am uploading it here for people to try out. To use this, just download the file and put it in your fsx\modules\linda\libs folder, then you can call the function, SYNC_Aircraft_To_Switch_Settings(), by linking it to a button. The only thing to note is that this will never call any Lua function with the word 'toggle' in its name. If…

Hi, I was thinking.... Would be a nice feature to have 1 or more virtual buttons on the LINDA GUI to execute commands. Could be useful for executing things like C&D commands so you don't have to assign the command to an actual button or, even, to use when the clickspot on some airplane isn't very good. Is that doable? Gregg

Can someone explain to me the relationship between LINDA's joystick ids and the joystick numbers in FSUIPC4.ini? Given the LINDA joystick id, can I find the FSUIPC id? I am working on a way to synchronise my aircraft with my cockpit switches and so far I am one step short. Having poked around in the LINDA code I discovered I can enumerate all my bound functions like this: for Stick, v in pairs(JSTK) do ipc.log("Joystick id: " .. Stick) for Button = 1, 32, 1 do local Funct = JSTK[Stick][Button] if Funct ~= nil then ipc.log(" button " .. tostring(Button) .. ": " .. tostring(Funct)) end end end This produces output like …

Hi, I am a Sim Pit builder and over the course of the last few years have taught myself a little bit about coding. For my pit build it's mostly the C++ subset that Arduino uses and some Lua code through FSUIPC. A few years back I tried using Linda but at that time decided I wanted to go the route of doing all my own coding. I just started using the A2A 172 and am hoping to also install their 182. As I start to work through the LVars for the 172 I've hit a few walls and can't seem to code my way around them. While out googling around for the answer sure enough I find people talking about how they are using Linda for the A2A 172 with great success. So I'm back …

HI, Anyone has been able to make a module for this aircraft? Thanks

Just finished a LINDA module for use with Cerasim H-60. Features: - animation control - light control - ability to start the chopper with hardware controls like TM Warthog and Saitek Switch Panel no need for mouse clicking. In case of interest let me know i will uploaded to dropbox.

Usually Linda identifies the plane that is loaded but corrects itself if I select the plane and then press FSX sync. But today I loaded the Aerosoft Airbus 321 and it would not identify iit with sync on. With sync off my previously programmed buttons worked. However, if I pressed a button on the Saitek quadrant it showed the button butthen jumped back to the yoke page and the "Out Of Range" box popped up. I cannot keep it on the quadrant page long enough to program a button. Are there any updates in the works? I really like the "Shift" features of 2.6.3 but am afraid I will need to go back to 2.57 if this problem continues. Regards to all Neal H

Does anybody know if the old RealAir T-Duke v1 profile works with the new v2 version of the T-Duke? If not, is there any chance to update the profile? Thanks and regards!

Hi guys My home cockpit (which contain VRINSIGHT COMBO II MCP) is very hungry to fly with the IFLY 747V2 and that is impossible without its linda profile, so can anyone tells me what should i do, i've searched here but nothing found, could anyone help, Thx

I recently bought the F-27 and think it is absolutely superb. However, many planes during its hayday lacked a bit of logic in placement of buttons/switches. The F-27 startup is an example. It would really be nice to avoid so many mouse clicks but fsuipc cannot create macros for it (or the 737). My skill at creating a Linda module is non -existent. Doubtful if I could get one done before 2016 (and my 78th birthday was last week- I really am an OLD flyboy) so hopefully someone has something underway. Regards to all Neal Howard

hello , Would be it possible to have a module for MilViz B55 ? P3D v2.5 Or then , can you tell me how to realize it ? Thank you in advance

Hi all, I am not a expert. I tried to change the actions.lua for the PMDG 777. To change Min Radio Alt needs a lot of rotations of the knob. That is why I added the following lines: function EFIS_CPT_MINIMUMS_incfast () local i for i = 1, 5 do ipc.control(PMDGBaseVariable +182, 256) end DspShow ("MIN", "inc", "EFAS MIN", "inc") end function EFIS_CPT_MINIMUMS_decfast () local i for i = 1, 5 do ipc.control(PMDGBaseVariable +182, 128) end DspShow ("MIN", "dec", "EFAS MIN", "dec") end I have written "EFAS MIN" instead of "EFIS MIN" to see if the function is drawn when rotating the knob fast. But this do…
