June 16, 201213 yr Many thanks for those kind words, guys. I'll be very happy if its availability helps to introduce the joys of LINDA to an even wider audience. Cheers, Brian
June 17, 201213 yr Brian, Thank you for this incredible complete guide. It will helps a lot of us. Michel Michel Veréb
June 19, 201213 yr Haha, 'don't panic'. Lets hope the Vogons read that one too. Thanks for your efforts, Brian.
June 24, 201213 yr Thanks for that, CoolP! (Naturally, I was wearing my dressing gown whilst writing it). :P In fact, if I remember rightly "Don't Panic" was Günter's idea (he designed the cover, for which much thanks). Cheers, Brian P.S. If there is anyone reading this who hasn't heard of the HHGTTG, don't worry about it. ^_^
June 24, 201213 yr P.S. If there is anyone reading this who hasn't heard of the HHGTTG, don't worry about it. Just bring your towel! Don't ask!
July 29, 201213 yr in your introducting to linda, page 27 show a LIB: User function plus on page 46 eng l switch under assigment show Pre-taxi routine BC_After_After_Start (in lib-user.lua) well i do i get there file and install them in linda
July 30, 201213 yr Sorry, blueairone70, but I can't tell what you're saying (asking?). Based on the pages which you mention, though:— The illustration on page 27 (note the red circles, and the mouse arrow) shows that I clicked on button 12, then from the drop-down chose "LIB: User functions", and from the list that results I am indicating the "EXAMPLE function format" which you will find in your lib-user.lua file in <fsx directory>\Modules\linda\libs That is the only function you will find there by default, the others shown (i.e. the ones beginning with my initials, such as BC_After_Engine_Start) are ones that I have added myself — see also the example on the previous page, which illustrates how to do this. Appendix 1 lists the 700 NGX-specific functions that you can utilise, whilst Appendix 3 shows the fsx actions available. Pages 24 - 28 cover all the steps which are needed. But only you can decide what functions you need, based on your hardware controls, the aircraft you fly, and the way you fly, which is why my functions would not be particularly relevant for anyone else Appendix 2 (page 46) is simply to illustrate the benefits of carefully designing your control assignments to suit your hardware before you start writing any Lua code (see ""Designing your set of control assignments to suit your hardware", starting on page 20, which refers to Appx 2). The ENG L switch is, of course, unique to the controls illustrated; whilst the associated function name (such as NGX_GEAR_off, BC_After_Engine_Start, and the rest) is a reminder of what function is assigned when you operate that particular control.. I hope that helps, Cheers, Brian
August 1, 201213 yr thank if help a little, i'm new to linda, so the i ask i was trying to setup pmdg 737 (hotas warhog controler the way as your, but could fine the bc after start file so thank you
October 5, 201213 yr Excellent work Brian......Thank you sicenrely from a total LINDA newb just porting over to FSX from FS2004. Ian Lane - Possibly world's worst 737-800WL NGX Driver (VH-IMB) and frequent crash lander on RNWY01 YBBN.Specs: i7, homemade EFIS and MCP, 2 x Bodnar BUO386X's, 1 x Bodnar BBi32, and a wholelotta study of the FCOMs, FCTM and QRH to do.
October 7, 201213 yr My pleasure, Ian. :smile: LINDA is just great. Good luck with the move to fsx, too — once you've got everything sorted out you're going to love it. ^_^ Cheers, Brian P.S. If you're looking for a great and delightfully easy-going VA whose chief pilot is a Real World 737 instructor (give Steve my kind regards if you join), check out http://www.worldwidevirtual.net/index.php/ They also happen to be based not too far ffrom you.... :dance:
