• LINDA is meant to make your HID Device / Joystick assigning for FSX as simple as possible. With the advance of having many additional functions.

• LINDA also supports the VRInsight MCP Combo and adds many new functions to it!
• And LINDA is a tool to make hunting for FSX controls, offsets and LUA variables much easier as it was till now.

• intuitive and flexible assigning
• press, release and repeat mode for every button
• local and global shift mode (modifiers)

• MCP Display contains now further information like vertical speed and much more
• MCP Display could be switched between Autopilot Information and Current Flight Information

Others:

• console window for debugging and monitoring FSX with filtering options etc

This looks great, thanks so much for the hard work, one question noticed ifly737x is not on list do you think this may work with ifly ?, thank you.Regards, Rich

[crum]

Hello Richard,As I know, AP system of iFly works fine with LINDA's FSX Default module (with display indications sync!). Other controls could be accessed by assigning the key presses. But later, I'm sure, someone will made a separate module for iFly too.

[Richard Sennett]

Thank you my friend you are the best I am using the mcp combo, forgot to tell you that, thanks again big time. Regards, Rich

[Helge Rasmussen]

[avhpilot]

This is fantastic news.If all works as simple as you indicate then you deserve the Nobelprize!This could perpaps be what i've been waiting for to make full use of my MCP Combo which is a terrific device with a lot of potential but with outdated software and support.I will try it out very soon. thank you very much.

[Walkabout]

Why does FSUIPC4.dll not appear in the download as reported in the manual - (Page 4)?  Am I missing something?

HiDoes anyone know ArianeDesign 737 has some suppoty or profile in LINDA?Best Fredrik

No, there is no Ariane modules for LINDA yet.

[Fredde]

HiAre they planning a such module for that 737 in the near future?

[tillUrDizzy]

The manual has this:  "Also does LINDA not need any further LUA scripts inside modules folder as you have them probably now" What if I don't?  I programmed my joystick for FSX Default but nothing works, and it does not detect my aircraft.

[Mepshtain]

HiI'm new to FSX, and would like to have a cockpit built with all functions assigned to keyboarrds. Does Linda enable to use several keyboards like Himacro?RegardsMoshe

[Mive1957]

Hi Moshe The answer is here : http://forum.avsim.n...iple-keyboards/ in the LINDA Support subforum : *** LINDA doesn't recognize the multiple keyboards, sorry. Only generic joysticks will work.  *** Michel
