LINDA Support

Hi I just installed Linda for my MCP Combo (Ver 1) but since I have done this VRi Sim no longer recognises my CDU2 (even when I rescan for VRInsight devices). How can I fix this? As far as I know, Linda does not support the CDU2... is this correct? Regards Thomas

Im on the way. Ive managed to find out how to assign a lua script to a keystroke via FSUIPC. Ive written a script to set up my switches quickly however I didn't expect to have to hold the key down until all the switches had moved . . .but i do. No problem really but I thought a quick press would do it. Have a look at my script and see if it shows why or anything else thats wrong. ipc.writeUW("9400",1128) ipc.writeUW("9400",1131) ipc.writeUW("9400",1134) ipc.writeUW("9400",1137) ipc.writeUW("9400",145) ipc.writeUW("9400",148) ipc.writeUW("9400",151) ipc.writeUW("9400",154) ipc.writeUW("9400",1161) ipc.writeUW("9400",1164) …

Moved this topic from FAQ to support. Please do not post support question in the FAQ. Thanks, Guenseli ------------------------------------ Hallo Linda Forum, ich habe ein Problem mit Linda und meiner PMDG (Module 1.9) Ich habe sehr viele Funktionen auf verschiedenen EIngabegeräte mit Linda programmiert. Das Funktioniert auch sehr gut, bis auf das ab und zu die Programierten Tasten nicht mehr funktionieren. Dann muss ich ins Linda Modul und mit Reload Linda bzw. mit der FSX Sync Taste Linda wieder scharf machen. Nach dieser Aktion dauerd es dann manchmal sehr lange bis die programierten Tasten wieder zu verwenden sind. Alle Tasten die ich vorher gedrück…

Looking for Brian Cowell's 737NGX function list. Also, a complete list of the PMDG 737NGX keyboard keys. Thanks, Popi

I am using Linda to control my Saitek X52Pro joystick and a VRinsight Combo panel. It has worked well for a month or two, but has now stoppewd working and has thrown up the following error message : [E] *** LUA Error : .......dules\linda-cfg/aircrafts/FSX default/config-hid.lua:22:attempt to index field'06A300060'(a nil value) On another error screen I had a message Access violation at address 0061A1BB in module 'linda.exe Read of address 000001BO Can anyone help a mere flightsim user.

Hi, I am aware that MCP2 Airbus style is not supported by Linda, yet I have been able to put it to work and everything works...at times. Why at times, because when I load Linda and as soon as the Radio panel displays "Instrument by Linda v1.11" replacing "Instrument Radio by VRIsim" message, buttons on the MCP stop working. Until today i was able to reload Linda a couple of times and if the message stays as "Instrument Radio by VRIsim" all works perfectly. Anyone has any ideas? As I said everything works and everything is correctly configured, FSUIPC and Linda related. If I remove Linda from ipc.Ready file, FSUIPC can see all MCP buttons. I am als…

Hello! Is there any map of what the keys in combo and combo2 do in each plane? I have downloaded some and have problems finding the special functions how to be done in Combo2. There is no explanation. Only the files to install and a readme with changes made. I fly the PMDG J41 and AirbusX but any plane would be interesting to have the mapped keys. Thanks!

Hi guys, I tried to configure my devices with LINDA. I try with Hotas warthog, Flight Master Yoke and Saitek Rudder Pedals (if all goes we'll i try to set up MCP Combo II - Boeing MCP, CDU II and MFD Cougar Pack). I use Prepar3d, Win 8 Pro 64 bit and Fsuipc registered version. For begin i have two major problems : how to set axis and throttle and why my Saitek Rudder Pedals device is not recognized as joystick ? Tks and have a nice weekend to all Nicu

Started reading about LINDA to see if it could meet my needs. Now from what I understand it will only recognize joystick type devices? I have a Saitek Switch Panel and through the SPAD interface I can assign a switch to a virtual joystick and Virtual button. When running FSUIPC I can see it recognize this joystick/button inside the FSUIPC panel, but when I start LINDA it does not see the panel as a HID (as you call them). Not possible? thx Clutch

Just upgraded to P3d. I have a VRinsight MCP (1st Gen). I transferred the modules folder from FSX into P3d. Using Linda, all the stock planes work with the MCP, I can control the sim such as autopilot altitude and I can also see a change to the MCP, two way communications. The problem is when I load the PMDG 737 NGX, I get a CTD - all the time (Appcrash - PMDG-737NGX.dll) I have narrowed it down to the Modules/Linda/system folder, if I rename or remove the file init.lua, I can fly the 737 no problem - no CTD ( but without my MCP ). Not sure how this init.lua works. Does anyone know how I can isolate the problem. Also, if i do not run linda or power up the MC…

As a newbie in LUA, I am trying to understand the variables and code in the Linda PMDG 747-400X module here: http://forum.avsim.n...ule-version-12/ What I want to do, it to write a LUA script that when executed it will disconnect any/more/all of the 3 autopilots (I believe there is such a button on the real 747-400 yoke). So far I've tried this: if (ipc.readLvar("L:MCP_CMD_L_Switch_var") == 1) or (ipc.readLvar("L:MCP_CMD_C_Switch_var") == 1) or (ipc.readLvar("L:MCP_CMD_R_Switch_var") == 1) then ipc.keypress(65, 10) else ipc.control(72210, 0) end But it does not work. Clearly, I have not understood which variables (and what values/ac…

Hi All, Today I have been trying to setup LINDA for the first time. So far I have all my basic joystick buttons setup and working with no issues. I have an VRi MCP (original) that I am trying to connect, but without success. I have followed the manual and the manual that Brian did, but LINDA always shows that the connection to the COM port has failed. Using the VRi software, the MCP connects and works on COM11. I deleted all associated lines from the FSUIPC.ini and got LINDA to add them for me using COM11, but it still fails. I switch on the MCP, then start LINDA and then FSX. Am I missing something very obvious here? Restoring previous aircraft... Res…

Does LINDA detect only an MCP Combo though the COM port or any other device. I've connected a switch to my microcontroller and I need to know if I should write any other program (like a rs232 program) to enable communication between LINDA and the PIC..

Hi, I am currently planning on creating an own little autopilot with help of the Arcaze module. But before I buy it I did already test some things with my current joystick. In Linda I have set a button of my joystick to NGX AP SPD Inc as a on-repeat function. When I am holding down this button, it increases the speed very slowly (about 2-3 knots per second) which is, in my opinion, too slow. And there also seems to be a little "lag": When I release the joystick button it is still increasing some more knots for a few seconds. A friend of mine has a different joystick, much more better hardware and he has this problem, too, so I guess this is a problem of LINDA. I hav…

hi out there, does anybody know how I can get rid of the green info line after reloading or saving a lnida element. the line linda reloaded or linda config reloaded remains all the way. maybe it is a FSX thing??!! Thnx Cheers an Happy New Year Tom

Hey guys, especially guenseli, I have a problem with LINDA and my MCP Combo: I have reinstalled FSX recently, after that my MCP Combo doesn't work with LINDA as it did before the reinstall, where everything was just fine with LINDA and the MCP. It is not a hardware related issue, as I'm able to set transponder codes and frequencies through my MCP. My Problem is the EFIS/MCP part of it. I cannot set the HDG or something else. With the VRiSim software it works, but not as extensive as with LINDA. LINDA says everthing is ok. I do not use it for my joysticks or for other planes than my NGX. Does anyone has a clue where the problem is and how to solve it?

Hi Artem and Guenter. I finally know how to reproduce the "invalid pointer operation" bug/error in Linda that has been effecting me since the beta days of LINDA. I first encountered this bug shortly after getting my touch screen monitor, whenever it was powered on I couldn't load LINDA without this error at startup and if I clicked on OK the error prompt the whole Joystick section would be blank so Linda was unusable. The work around was simple, load linda before turning on the secondary touch screen monitor then switch it on and all would be fine for that session. Well today I had the same error even with the monitor switched off and I got a little worried Linda …

Greetings and Happy New Year I have gotten back into the hobby recently and off course have reinstalled LINDA. Thank you! I have one question and would appreciate your help. The tracer window opens when I click the link in the main interface. However, the facility to start a log and filter results that shows at the bottom in the manual is missing. It is just a plain console window. I have to pause the simulation, go into FSUIPC and start a log. Now, that's not the end of the world, however I would like to make the best use of LINDA. Thanks again.

Dear all I'm wondering if anyone has already tried to connect some Elite Hardware to Linda? Elitehas rock solid Hardware - but though they use FSUIPC, they have proprietary drivers and they don't show up in the Linda Console. They do have a driver to interconnect with FSX/P3D, but it's funcionality is rather limited and I'd be delighted to improve. But I'd need help on both sides, Linda and Elite. I'm rather a network engineer than a programmer... I use the Pro Panel and the Avionics Panel 3000. Best regards HP.

When assigning joystick buttons to 'FSX standard controls', how do I know what assignment does what? For example, I want a button to change view to say, next in view. I see commands such as: VIEW_CAMERA_SELECT_0 66860. How do I know which is which? Thanks

Hi Guys, I am feeling like a kid in a toy store-I thought I will share my excitement with you. Over the last 6 months I have been very busy trying to make a 737 NG overhead and a glare shield. I have almost completed my task and I thought I will share my results with you. It may inspire someone else to do the same. The attached two photos show the overhead and the glare shield I have built from ply wood and standard components available from rapid electronic in the UK. The images of the panels are resized photos printed in high quality on a standard printer and stuck on the ply wood with good quality silicone glue. I haven’t connected any LEDs-at the momen…

I cannot seem to get any of the buttons on my Saitek yoke to work using LINDA. Is it because the Saitek drivers are still installed or am I just doing something wrong? For example if I want to set the A1 rocker button for elevator down I: 1. Go into LINDA under the JOYSTICKS tab 2. At button 3 in the ON PRESS column I use: LIB FSX Controls -> Flight Controls -> Trim ELEVATOR Down When I test it out in FSX nothing happens though. I suspect it is because I have the default Saitek drivers installed; however, before I go removing software I wanted to ask and make sure it is not something else that I am doing incorrectly.

Hello, I have this problem: the LINDA CONSOLE displays this error: [E] *** LUA Error: ...es\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\ipcReady.lua:1: attempt to call field 'runlua' (a nil value) Any suggestions? My english is not very well sorry for it. Thanks and happy christmas.

Hi, when I start Linda I get the following error message: "invalid pointer operation", after which Linda appears to start normally - but none of my devices are recognised... Can you please let me know if this can be fixed?

I am running FSX on Win7 64 bit on a nVidia surround setup with registered FSUIPC 4.84 and LINDA 1.11 running with admin rights. When I start LINDA I get an "Invalid pointer operation" warning box as the program starts. I have a CH yoke and a Razer Nostromo game pad pluged in but neither are shown in LINDA. Joysticks/HID devices and FSX/FSUIPC configs are both showing "Everything is ok!" in LINDA. Any ideas? Thanks, gb.
