FSUIPC and LINDA


Recommended Posts

Please post questions related to FSUIPC always in Main Forum.

Hi Folks.

I have only recently discovered LINDA and am starting to make some headway with it. However, I have to reload the Buttons + Switches in FSUIPC each time I assign an action in LINDA.  I am checking the correct action in the sim every so often . I am using LINDA 3.0.12c and FSUIPC 4.9.74 in Windows 10 and FSX-SE with a CH Yoke. I hope to move on to more complex aircraft after setting up the default C172. I know this is only a slight inconvenience but I am thinking that it should not happen this way, i.e. having to reload the Buttons and Switches.

Can anyone help with an answer as to why this is happening?

Regards...Ken.

Hi,

Linda does modify the (in your case) FSUIPC4,ini file. In case FSUIPC does not expect that it's INI file is modified other than by it self while FS is running or manually before starting FS. That's why you need to reload after Linda modified something in it.

I would expect that Linda manual mentioned that?

Hi,

he doesn't assign then as well in FSUIPC. The question was

As I described above FSUIPC doesn't care about changes someone or a third party program is doing changes to its INI file. But FSUIPC as the option to reload some facilities while FS is running by i.e. Reload button and switches with a button press from its INI file, so you don't need to restart FS. That is an advantage, not a disadvantage.

Hello Thomas.

Thank you for the explanation. I now understand why I have to reload after a change in LINDA. I have not seen any information that advises on that but I'll have another look. I see that I have a red warning on my initial post. Have I inadvertantly posted in the wrong place? If so I apologise. Where should I ask any future questions? I have not had to ask for support before as FSUIPC has met all my simming needs so far.

Regards...Ken.
