I finally got the Twotter on the PC Aviator sale. It's going to take a while to get it all set up. First thought was a bit of a wow moment...this really is an excellent airplane. Also, fairly stunning that the framerates are so high. I did notice that the Altitude knob doesn't work with LINDA. My guess is that it's a bug...or a feature...of the airplane...or an undocumented control setting.

 

EDIT: Correction. The Alt knob works...it just doesn't change the value in the SET ALTITUDE window.

Hi Guenter, this is a great resource that I have just started playing with!

 

I am wondering if it's still a work in progress - are you planning to add all the functions eventually? I have noticed that some functions can be found under the FSX Default library and others I can find inside FSUIPC's list of FSX functions (for example, I can get the missing function Toggle Auto-feather that way). I am currently crawling my way around the panel trying to get the hang of it. I am wondering about building a hardware panel for the TWO (no gauges, just switches) so I can fly it by the book without touching the mouse or keyboard.

...others I can find inside FSUIPC's list of FSX functions (for example, I can get the missing function Toggle Auto-feather that way)

 

P.S. I just realised you can get all the FSX controls inside Linda too

is there ALT ALRT?

is there ALT ALRT? 

 

The altitude alerter functions (ALT ALERT, MDA, GO AROUND and the rotary control) are implemented in the v1.3 file.

I tried this module and Linda 2.5.7 can recognize it but it’s not working with my MCP Combo I. Only result is the following error message in Linda console:

 

[E] *** Lua error: …les\linda-cfg/aircrafts/Aerosoft_DHC6/config.mcp.lua:625: attempt to perform arithmetic on global ’n’ (a table value)

 

I have no idea what is the problem and how to proceed.  Any advices would be warmly welcome, thank you!

Hi AaliGee

 

There are warning that LINDA 2.5.7 may not work with MCP1 panels. We cannot test any software with these obsolete panel.  I recommend you use your backups to revert to 1.13. There is a link on the 2.5.7 download thread for LINDA 1.13.

Thank you, I moved back to 1.3 version, but a result was exactly same error message.

[ScotFlieger 280]

Hi AaliGee

 

The reported error lies in your configuration file for the MCP1 for your aircraft. You may be able to fix it by changing a button assignment in MCP Combo and saving it.  The other fix is to delete the named file in path given in the error message and re-program your buttons.
