PMDG 737 NGX (module 4.15b) - 9 Jun 2020

[Andydigital 93]

Open the FSUIPC4.ini file located in the Modules folder which is inside your main FSX program folder and look for the section [VRinsight]

 

It should look like this in your case if Com3 is correct.

1=Com3

 

Dont forget to select the same com port in Linda too in the drop down menu.

Hi everybody,

 

Can someone explain me how to transform :

 

function NGX_APU_GEN_L_on ()
    ipc.control(69660, 536870912)
end
function NGX_APU_GEN_L_off ()
    ipc.control(69660, -2147483648)
end

 

into a NGX_APU_GEN_L_toggle () function...If it is possible, of course !

 

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

try this:

 

 

function NGX_APU_GEN_L_toggle ()
 if _t("APUL") then
       NGX_APU_GEN_L_on ()
 else
      NGX_APU_GEN_L_off ()
 end
end

[watin 8]

thanks, will try.

 

I guessed it was with this famous universal toggler _t function... But how can I find the other "APUL"-like options ? 

[guenseli 1,606]

You mean that variable "APUL"; that's just a free fictional variable.

I think you even could this leave empty?

 

Normally, when you use the toggler with a LUA variable, then there have to be the exact LUA variable inserted.

But so, it doesn't matter

I'm having problems adjusting CRS on the DME part of the radio in the MCP2 with the latest version of LINDA (1.13) the display on the MCP2 lags behind the aircraft sometimes so it makes selecting the correct course really difficult, you have to look at the panel in the VC to adjust it effectively. This was never a problem in the past.

Andy, I'll check this.

Andy, try this one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15957127/common.lua

[Andydigital 93]

DME 1 is now OK, but DME 2 is worse now and doesn't update at all until about 2 seconds after the CRS has been set in the VC view.

Oh yes and by the way it still says Powered By Linda 1.1 on the radio panel at startup rather than 1.13 ^_^

That's more or less perfect now Artem, not quite as fast as it used to be, but still very good. Thanks.

There was an issue with 1.13 update which caused CRS numbers where sent to display twice for each knob click. Now it's fixed and I don't know if this indication could work faster. Are you sure it was better in previous versions?

[Andydigital 93]

I'm not 100% sure no, perhaps it was just a fond memory, lol.

 

It may even be that I just got used to the better frame rates in the 777 and the other GA aircraft I have been flying lately and that contributed to a better overall performance from the sim. The NGX is a bit of a pig performance wise now, it's especially noticeable how unstable the frame rate is compared to the 777. With the 777 it's pretty much always constant, with the NGX its varies as much as 30% almost all the time even with a locked frame rate.

 

Thanks again.

[Artem Crum 5]

Ok, fix incorporated in 1.13 archives.

Hi Linda Team,
 

i would still like to see a function for the PMDG 737-800.
As the existing function "VRI EFIS MODE toggle" the short TIMES Feature Toggle "function EFIS / Light's in the cockpit" for the first Compopanel
 

The possibility of having to switch the mode of the Navigatiosdisplay the copilot.
That would be really great if this would be feasible.

This is a Google translation because I can not so good english.
greeting Michaheli
