LINDA Development

Hello, I have 4 Arcaze modules running with all assignments through LINDA. When I add another Arcaze module, Windows is mixing up the ID´s and so does LINDA. No assignment is now where it has been before. Anyone got an idea how I can avoid this? Thank you, and have a merry X-Mas time. Regards Stephan

... any chance that Linda will handle those popular modules too ??????

Hello, i have a problem with Linda and the Jeehell FMGS Software. The programmer from the jeehell software has created a actions.lua file for Linda to make the MCP Combo 1 working with the jeehell software package. I have created the profil for linda with this actions.lua file, but it do not work. Linda and fsuipc are ok because with the default FSX planes it works quite good. The displays on the combo are not synchron with the jeehell FCU displays and at first time i have only the HDG rotary programmed and 2 keys für QNH switching. When i use the HDG rotary and the keys there is no function on the jeehell FCU and the fsuipc log gives a lua error. …

I created a couple of more Linda functions for the F1 Mustang that I find useful. If only I could figure out how to shut off the gear horn with a switch I'd have everything. Gregg function F1Must_safetyseats_inc () val = ipc.readLvar("PAXSAFETYSEATBELT") if val < 2 then val = val + 1 ipc.writeLvar("PAXSAFETYSEATBELT", val) end ipc.setbitsUW("0D0C", 64) ipc.control(65823, 300) -- sound ipc.control(65823, 0) -- sound end function F1Must_safetyseats_dec () val = ipc.readLvar("PAXSAFETYSEATBELT") if val > 0 then val = val - 1 ipc.writeLvar("PAXSAFETYSEATBELT", val) end ipc.s…

LINDA GUI update: NEW: More than 10 joysticks are now supported Saitek Pro Flight Switch panel supported !!! LINDA Lua update: NEW: Now you can replace SPD indication on MCP2 with course indication - OBS1/OBS2/ADF1Add SPD_CRS_replace = true to module's InitVars () Disabled by default New functions: SaveFlight(filename) - saves flight at current point, 'filename' is optional ShowMessage (text) - shows green scrollbar message UPDATED: Indication of morse ident for COM/NAV/DME/ADF is changed on MCP2 - now you will see the '*' on radios display near the current mode name (i. e. - COM1*) Transponder button (TRN) on radios block now have the second function …

Does any FSX control exist for External power? I have tried looking in the LINDA FSX controls list on the Tracer window, but no luck so far. Michael

I have LINDA set for the Combo 2 but the GUI still shows the earlier version which is does not quite match. There are several different buttons/rotaries in the NAV and COM sections. Not a major problem but it would be helpful if LINDA matched my Combo. Is it available and I just haven;t found it? Regards to all Neal H

Hi Guenther, I've recently started to work with PMDG's fabulous JS4100. As was the case with the NGX, LINDA has been very helpful to me - thank you and the guys ! I'm now at the stage where my "home cockpit" is pretty well ready for the JS4100. In the process I have also managed to create a Lua plug-in with which all the buttons of the JS4100's FMS can be operated. If you're interested in adding this to your J41 LINDA module, let me know and I'll post it here for you.

edit. sorted.

Hi there Guenseli! Would you guys consider builiding or converting Linda to work on X-Plane 10? I am crippled and can't use my very fine VRInsight MCP Combo-II Boeing on XPlane 10 64-bit! Since Ramzzess Aviation released the amazing PMDG-like B777-200 Worldliner for XP 10- my life has changed big time! I no longer fly FSX! Yet I desperately would love to have the MCP Combo II work with my airplane, the B777-Worldliner! I can say there is a LUA-Plug in for X-Plane. So I would guess a lot of your work is done. There is also XUIPC for X-plane, and app that is similar to FSUIPC (but not by the same developer). Both of the apps in this paragraph are tot…

Hi If I am not blind the aircraft: http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=f1mustang Is the aircraft who is supported by LINDA? See the picture! Can you confirm it, please// Best Fredrik

Hi all, this is my first post in this forum and I just tumbled over that cool looking and surely highly exelent tool LINDA. I used to design Scenery for FSX but got sucked into the DCS series. I am looking for a driver for all my saitek panels and switch panels to use it in DCS. There is a tool to assign keystrokes to buttons for the Saitek Flight Yoke, Throttle Quadrant, and the pedals but you can't assign the switch panel because it is not seen by the program. So my question is: Dear developer, I would pay money to get a tool like Linda for the DCS series from EagleDynamics. This tool looks so wonderfull and has not to be that fancy as it is right now for FSX. I jus…

Hi, Can someone help me with code to read switch positions in ifly 737. Thanks Graham REX - 801839

Here is a new weather library (a LUA script with weather display functions) for MCP1 and 2 owners: lib-weather_v1_2.zip Unzip the content (lib-weather.lua) to Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\linda\libs and overwrite the old file. You can assign one of these functions to a MCP button (or joystick or key or whatever) and they will show then weather information on the Combo display. -- Weather functions -- v1.2 Feb 2013 function weather_OAT_inCelsius () works with both Combo I and II: shows Temperature (OAT) in Celsius (MCP2 only with 8 digits) function weather_OAT_inFahrenheit () works with both Combo I and II: shows Temperature (…

Dear Artem, LINDA team, forum colleagues, Can you please help me to start developing for MCP? I have IT background (Dipl, Inf) and did programming experience at Uni, I'm more sysadmin than developer by basic education. I hope after some basic things I did 20 years ago at assembler, pascal, c/c++, sh I can do it. I understand Lua scripts, functions, variables etc. My target is MCP Combo Airbus type. It is recognised by LINDA in Boeing mode, but (as fas as I understand) scripts has to be changed to understand new Airbus type commands in RS232 and Linda should send new text to MCPs RS232. Perhaps commands are same, but... I need you help to understand LINDA better.…

Hi, I recently started working with prosim737, but for now I would like to keep using my MCP Combo II panel. I came across a topic which claimed to have a lua for linda that should work, only the download link does not exist. I'm talking about this topic. Can someone tell me if this download is still available somewhere and if it still works? Or if not, can someone point me to some kind of manual or tutorial so I can try to get the MCP Panel working myself Thanks in forward!

Not sure what the protocol is for requests but has there been LINDA module made for CS737?

As this plane seems to be improving with successive releases, I wonder whether anyone has been looking into its use via LINDA? The LINDA trace reveals a load of LVars, but from my experimentation so far they just seem to control the display of indicators, numbers and switches, rather than manipulating the fundamental control behind those displays.

Hi, I've been looking into creating some of my own panels using a few arduino controllers (or just one). There exists a good tool (link2fs) that exposes simconnect variables through a simple serial protocol that can easily be handled by an arduino to drive LEDs, servos, et cetera. However, the input interface to give data from switches and such is not as good. It would be much easier, and more powerful, if I could use something like LINDA former input interface from the arduino board. Especially when using toggle switches which seem to be quite well supported in LINDA. Unless anyone else has tried this I see three possible options. 1. modern arduino boards can…

With the imminent release of the "Extended" version, I was curious if the original AirbusX profile will work ? Or will a new profile be needed for the new version ?

I've just been reading this topic: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/362089-vrinsight-v737-overhead-panel/ ... but I don't seem to be able to post in it... Are there really no plans to support the overhead? I know it is 737 specific, but it would be great to be able to assign functions to some of those switches for other planes (J41, 747 etc), even if it is just things like fuel pumps, APU, Landing/taxi lights etc. Just a thought. It's a lovely bit of hardware and it would be a shame not to use it for other planes. PS: apologies if this has been brought up before, but it would be interesting to see if other V737 users are interested in further support.

I am trying to create a module for an Airbus to run from my Combi 2. I have created a basic module by copying the RealAir Duke module and many controls work OK. I am a bit lost with all the info available as to how to assign other functions. As an example I want to be able to operate the cockpit button which displays WPT on the EFIS map display. I have used the tracer and found a LVar which when clicked from the list with toggle set to 0 and 1, operates the button. In the editor I have added a section to the lua as follows:- function Show_WPT_on () LVar = "ND_WPT = 0" end function Show_WPT_off () LVar = " ND_WPT = 1" end Syntax reported OK Have saved file, …

Hello out there, did anyone worked on a Linda module for the Majestic Dash Q300? It looks like a very interesting plane. Kind Regards Tom

Hi, Sorry about this. I've come back to some files I'd written months ago and I have this code function SF260_AP_HDG_PB () if _t('AP_HDG_PB') then ipc.control(66106) else ipc.control(66107) ipc.control(65809) end end Now I can't for the life of me remember what the "if _t('AP_HDG_PB') then" does. I think I used after seeing it mentioned on a post on this forum - but can I find it now? If anyone could let me know what it's for or point me to where it's explained, I'd be most grateful.

for those of us who are not LUA programmers it only helps when someone programs the buttons /dials/switches for an individual plane. As an example: someone set up the MCP combo for the RealAir Duke Turbine and it works perfectly. I spent many hours trying to get the same setup for the RealAir Duke without success. After following the trace routine I was able to program open ing the fuel valves only to find that turning the ignition to start closed them again. So, as it is now,,,LINDA is great for the few planes in my sim that have programs. For the rest the MCP Combo is only useful on add-on planes when standard FSX keys are used. Isn't there some way to provide a set…
