  1. MCP from VRInsight displays working with FSUIPC directly

    I think LINDA is your easiest option, but if you don't want to use LINDA then you will have to write your own lua scripts to handle your VRInsight MCP.
    As I don't have this device, I cannot help you with this. I have already referenced some posts by other users who have written lua scripts for this device - try using them as a starting point and updating the controls used to the ones needed for the aircraft you are using. If you need help with a specific control, I can assist with that.

    Sounds good thanks

    As I have said several times, I do not support LINDA. Use the LINDA support forum:

    John

    Ok lets forget Linda, what guide do i need to follow to install via fsuipc to get the fbw up and running. Lvars are loaded and hvars as well

    I wont use Linda and ill test with fsuipc. I also tried axis and ohs.

    Im really trying everything!

    If using LINDA, then you need to use LINDA support. I cannot help if using LINDA.

    As I keep telling you, standard controls do not work for many add-on aircraft (and even some default aircraft). For example, for the hdg in the FBWA320, the HubHob site shows these presets (amongst others): HDG Increase,  HDG Decrease. These are using the FBWA320 custom controls:
        (>K:A32NX.FCU_HDG_INC)
        (>K:A32NX.FCU_HDG_DEC)

    However, there is already a LINDA module for the FBW A320 in MSFS -  see https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/599979-a32nx-linda-module-msfs/
    I presume the LINDA module for this aircraft will be using the correct controls....

    John

    I can confirm the module is not working with my mcp 1, i still get the issues.

    Where i would like help is if fsuipc can slow down the speed of the rotating knobs, also if i can achieve a functional mcp panel without linda be my guest ill follow any recommendations.

    Again default planes work with or without linda, so i need support without linda if thats what you can provide 

    Having said that if fsuipc has nothing to do with this i apologize and will post in another forum. The way i see it is fsuipc is the brain behind it!

    No. A preset is a label that identifies a calculator code string. You assign to a preset and when that preset is called, the corresponding calculator code is executed. I have mentioned this several times now and provided you with a link to the HubHop preset list (it is also mentioned in many places in the documentation), Uf you want to control aircraft in MSFS, you should familiarise yourself with presets. Look at the WASM section of the Advanced user guide, and the MF HubHop site. 

    If you are using LINDA, you are better off with support from LINDA. I do not support LIINDA. Have you asked there?

    Again, if you are using LINDA, please use their support channel.

    If this is assigned in FSUIPC not using LINDA, disable LINDA and show me your FSUIPC files showing the configuration and the error.

    Linda wont support it without having the mcp panel 1 but if it can work without linda im willing to try at this point nothing to lose. As for hubhop i have no idea what it is or does yet so not able to mess with it until i learn it. I guess i need to if i want to use fsuipc without linda. Sorry but im not a programmer so i wanted a plug and play module or preset.

    Not that its really relevant for the topic at hand but to answer your question its simply because Artem does not use or have any interest in FS2004 anymore. Artem made LINDA mainly for his own personal use and then expanded on its features at a later date when he was convinced by others to release it to the public, he has basically finished the project now and has moved on to other things.

    Does this work with msfs, and the fbw a320?

    I could not agree more, ill try a few more things, maybe a question for you, by presets you do mean a module that was created for the specific aircraft right?

    I am using a module which apparently was designed with the mcp combo panel 2. All works vua Linda with fsuipc running but my spd and hdg rotate waaaay too fast for smooth changes, once that happens it is no longer synced unless i manually change the speed with the mouse in the cockpit.

    I know im close to figuring it out but out of options.

    I use latest fsuipc, latest linda, fbw latest module loaded via linda. I made all necessary changes in ini file. Installed linda in fsuipc folder. I added the event files in the folder and added it in the ini as well. I have 1600 lvars and 220 hvars, no errors in linda, fsuipc also running smoothly. 

    Then i load msfs first fsuipc 2nd or autoconnect then linda. Sitting in the cockpit i move the hdg and bang all goes down the drain! Hdg moves out of sync after say 5 deg left or right, just seems the knob movements are too sensitive. Spd is the same

    Thanks, im mot assigning anything as a module was created for the fbw. I am attempting to use Linda but they dont have the mcp combo panel so not much support understandably. Im trying to find users that got it working. Im even willing to buy pmdg if the panel works with their aircraft.

    I currently own a mcp combo 1 and a cdu2, both of which worked flawlessly with a tool called serialfp2. Equipment costed almost $1000. It worked with pmdg and level d back in the day in fsx.

    I have used fsuipc for many different things registered version over the years. Ive been away from simming due to family matters. Now im back and seeing lots has changed, some good some for the bad. My first attempt is to get a working plane with my hardware.

    Why is this different from your previous topic posted:?

     

    Just trying to get visibility on it, as it seems the issue is specific to the mcp combo panel 1 which has no supporr. Mcp panel 2 is working for most.

    Therr is not many people with mcp panel 1 anymore i beleive its equipment that i purchased like 15 years ago.

    Im trying to learn coding and trying different things, but honestly i dont know what to make of it, ir if its even possible anymore 

    If someone has it working on a different plane ill change plane. It was flawless with level d 767 for fsx

    Maybe try posting for further information in that User Contribution topic: VRInsight MCP Combo and FSUIPC Lua scripting, as that seems to be what you are looking for.

    Maybe also see: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/pmdg-737-for-msfs/187760-vrinsight-mcp-combo-fsuipc-nothing-with-the-new-pmdg-737

    Is it ok do revive a post from 2011, im ok with doing just want to make sure.

    If it works with LINDA, it should also work without, as that is built upon FSUIPC's lua facilities. See the appendix on VRInsight devices in the Advanced User guide, together with the additional document Lua Plugins for VRInsight Devices.pdf.

    John

    Im experiencing issues though for the fbw 320, the knobs are not syncing it very jumpy or sticky stays at an altitude with no movements 

    Hvars 220 lvars 1600

    With or without linda my mcp responds the same way on all planes add ons; need to test default planes

  16. Hvars missing for some liveries fbw320

    The folder where the aircraft.cfg files for the FBW A320 are located are called:
        _FlyByWire_A320_NEO-LIVERY-XMAS
        FlyByWire_A320_NEO
        FlyByWire_A320_NEO-LIVERY
        ,,,(you may have more)
    So if you have a hvar file called A320.hvar, then A320 is a substring match to those folder names, and so that hvar file will be loaded any time those aircraft are loaded.

    John

    Here is the thing my downloaded livery names do not show any of that therefore do not match, example a320 not there and for flybywire they wrote fbw. To my understanding this will not match at all, how many minimum characters need to be an exact match? Also where do i change the livery name myself, i dont know if i can simply change in my aircraft.cfg or somewhere or multiple places?

    I hope i make sense im learning this all this week and read the whole manual.

    Btw, if you did this in the FSUIPC_WASM.ini file located under your Community folder, this will get overwritten the next time you update FSUIPC7. Make sure that you have copied this file to your WASM persistent storage area so that this is preserved - see the Advanced User guide for details.

    John

    Thank you, i did that now

    Im a little lost where is it in the manual?

     

    Edit:

    Changed the airloc for hvars to yes.

     

    I understand the concept i dont understand which hvar needs to be renamed for it to match

    the *.hvar filename to match the folder (e.g. FlyByWire_A320.hvar), Please see the Advanced User guide for details.

     

    edit 2, hvars loaded by just changing UseAirLocForHvars to Yes, 

    But im trying to understand why then

    Why don't you just try the trial license, available in a thread at the top of this forum.
    It has currently expired, but I will be generating a new one a bit later today.
    If your VRInsight devices are serial devices, see  appendix 3 of the Advanced User guide 'Handling VRInsight serial devices in FSUIPC', together with the separate document Lua Plugins for VRInsight Devices.

    John

    Amazing, im sorry I did not see the trial. Ill try that  thanks
