Very happy with LINDA - still one question though

[HenkA 0]

Hello, After a couple of beginner problems, with which I was helped by the forum members, I can say now that I'm quite happy with this add-on!It's so flexible. Other than using the FSX control settings to set up my yokes, which the don't work with PMDG aircraft, with LINDA that's possible now.Thanks to the developers of this add-on. One question though: If I load a previous saved flight, then suddenly my old FSX control settings are back again, and the standard.XML file has changed back.Is there an easy way to prevent this, or must I save all those flights again?. Thanks for any help on this. Henk Altena

I never heard that with flights loading, the standard.xml changes??? Do you use any funky tool to start your FSX like FSGo or whatever?

Have you installed FSX to a none default folder like C:\FSX and turned off UAC completely? If not then things like this can happen because FSX was not designed to run on Vista or Windows 7 even though they will have you believe it was written specifically for Vista, balderdash I say, they couldn't even fix the Windows Aero theme having to be disabled to get it to run properly.

Hello, Those saved flights are made before I installed LINDA. As far as I know, but maybe I'm wrong, lots of settings are saved, and after reloading activated again. Perhaps also the then used yoke buttons????? Andy, I run Win7 64bit. UAC is turned off, since I installed Win7. I hat tis stuff, really not necessary (Microsoft ).FSX is installed on its own harddisk, with nothing else. Thanks for the feed-back anyway. I will try to load another "before LINDA" flight, and look again what's happening. Will report back then. Kinde regards,Henk Altena

Hello Henk, Andy. I've recently installed 'Linda' and have a similar problem. Everytime I start FSX I find that a couple of the default joystick button assignments have somehow got back into FSX even after I deleted them before I shut down FSX previously. This is before loading a flight. Everything was fine before I installed 'Linda'. So I delete the assignments again in FSX and save then exit FSX then restart FSX and those same assignments are back again. I will try and disable 'Linda' and see what happens. Martin.

Hi Martin, strange issue.Hope you'll report back hwat happens without LINDA... A bullet proof method is to edit the standard.xml in the controls folder.For more information please have a look into the LINDA manula
