August 27, 201213 yr Hi Artem, I am having a problem with LINDA not loading in FSX all of a sudden, last week I had the same problem with P3D 1.4 but a fresh install of LINDA seemed to fix it. Now I went back to FSX for the first time in a month (testing the DX10 fixes mentioned on the forum) or more and FSX is having the exact same error as P3D did, but a fresh install of LINDA does not fix it in FSX. Here is the FSUIPC.log below, notice the strange forward and back slashes in the paths, that's not normal is it? Ignore the com failed errors its just because I have a couple of VRi devices unplugged. The errors repeat three times because I closed and restarted LINDA three times to try and see if it would work. It mentions missing files but ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.852 by Pete Dowson ********* Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=10040000 User Name="xxx" User Addr="xxx" FSUIPC4 Key is provided

system folder but I am convinced this is something to do with the strange forward and backward slashes shown in the path, I am fairly certain that is pointing to a bug of somekind. I wonder if it is a fault in FSUIPC? I tried a older version of FSUIPC 4.7 something and I still get the same error as I do with 4.852, so maybe not FSUIPC related. This has me stumped Artem.

August 28, 201213 yr Commercial Member Hello, Andy 1. Open the linda.lua file and edit the line: ipc.set("DEBUG", 1) <===== change 1 to 2 Restart FSX and post here the new log - it will contain more debug info. 2. Attach here or post the link to your lib-fallback.lua - it seems something is wrong with it.

August 28, 201213 yr Author Hi Artem, I have fixed the problem now, it appears I didn't clear enough files out during the reinstall of Linda. I'll try and reproduce the error if possible and will report back if I can, sorry to waste your time. Cheers, Andy.
August 28, 201213 yr Author OK I reproduced the error, it seems to be a fault in the libfallback file version 1.2 which Guenter made available on the forum in the download section e.g. this http://www.fs-linda....llback_v1_2.zip The reason I didn't notice this at first is that the error doesn't occur on using the new file until I changed an assignment on the MCP2 portion of Linda, in this instance I changed the Baro dial press function to action "Altimeter Baro Mode hPa". Reloading LINDA then showed the error on connection to the sim. Here is the debug log, I changed the option to 2 as you asked but the FSUIPC log looks no different, or do you want some other file? I reloaded the LUA engine once in this log. ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.852 by Pete Dowson ********* Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=60A20000 User Name="xxx" User Addr="xxx" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WideFS7 Key is provided 265 System time = 28/08/2012 11:43:57 265 FLT UNC path = "\\ANDY-PC\Users\Andy\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 312 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 327 FS UNC path = "E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" 2137 Run: "E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\Aerorestart.bat" 2152 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 2152 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 2152 G3D.DLL fix attempt installed ok 2152 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 2152 Trying to use SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 2168 VRI port 5 "COM9" failed to open 2168 VRI port 4 "COM6" failed to open 2168 VRI driver port 5 "COM27" also opened 2168 VRI driver port 4 "COM25" also opened 2184 VRI port 1 "COM13" opened 2184 VRI driver port 1 "COM29" also opened 2199 VRI port 3 "COM4" opened 2199 VRI driver port 3 "COM23" also opened 2199 VRI port 2 "COM3" opened 2199 VRI driver port 2 "COM21" also opened 8548 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.61637.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.61259.0) 8548 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 8548 FSUIPC Menu entry added 8595 \\ANDY-PC\Users\Andy\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\Previous Flight.FLT 8595 E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado Skymaster 337\C337.AIR 81401 System time = 28/08/2012 11:45:18, Simulator time = 11:44:05 (11:44Z) 83195 Aircraft="C337 Skymaster RED" 85675 Starting everything now ... 85691 LUA.0: beginning "E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\ipcReady.lua" 85691 LUA.0: ended "E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\ipcReady.lua" 85691 LUA.1: 85691 LUA.1: [iNIT]LINDA:: Loading... 85707 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 85800 LUA.1: LINDA:: Aircraft: C337 Skymaster RED 85800 LUA.1: LINDA:: Aircraft module detected: Carenado Skymaster 337 85847 LUA.0: LINDA:: AivlaSoft library loaded... 85847 LUA.0: LINDA:: FSX standard library loaded... 85847 *** LUA Error: ...oft Flight Simulator X\Modules\linda/system/init.lua:29: module 'linda/libs/lib-fallback.lua' not found: no field package.preload['linda/libs/lib-fallback.lua']linda/libs/lib-fallback.lua no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua.lua' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua\init.lua' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua.lua' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua\init.lua' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua.dll' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\loadall.dll' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\linda/libs/lib-fallback.dll' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\loadall.dll' 115191 LUA.0: 115191 LUA.0: [iNIT]LINDA:: Loading... 115316 LUA.0: LINDA:: Aircraft: C337 Skymaster RED 115331 LUA.0: LINDA:: Aircraft module detected: Carenado Skymaster 337 115362 LUA.1: LINDA:: AivlaSoft library loaded... 115362 LUA.1: LINDA:: FSX standard library loaded... 115362 *** LUA Error: ...oft Flight Simulator X\Modules\linda/system/init.lua:29: module 'linda/libs/lib-fallback.lua' not found: no field package.preload['linda/libs/lib-fallback.lua']linda/libs/lib-fallback.lua no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua.lua' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua\init.lua' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua.lua' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua\init.lua' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\linda/libs/lib-fallback\lua.dll' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\loadall.dll' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\linda/libs/lib-fallback.dll' no file 'E:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\modules\lua\loadall.dll' 129075 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 48 secs = 36.7 fps 129075 Average weather filter write interval in that time = 679.3 msecs 143989 System time = 28/08/2012 11:46:20, Simulator time = 11:44:51 (11:44Z) 143989 *** FSUIPC log file being closed Average frame rate for running time of 48 secs = 36.7 fps Average weather filter write interval in that time = 679.3 msecs G3D fix: Passes 12073, Null pointers 0, Bad pointers 0, Separate instances 0 Memory managed: 215 Allocs, 215 Freed ********* FSUIPC Log file closed *********** I have a linda2.log which contains this;

August 29, 201213 yr Commercial Member Andy, What files do you exactly have in your /linda/libs/ folder? It looks like init.lua script tries to load lib-fallback twice, like there where two of them in the folder with different extensions may be.

August 29, 201213 yr Author Yes there was another file with the same name but a different extension, when upgrading anything I always add .org to the end of original files just in case I want to reinstate them. Cheers, Andy.
August 30, 201213 yr Commercial Member Aha, put the .org file to any other location and the error will disappear.

August 30, 201213 yr Author Hi Artem, that does make sense, I'll try it out later today if I get time thank you for the support. Cheers, Andy.
August 30, 201213 yr Author Hi Artem, Yes I can confirm that removing the file with a different extension did solve the problem, thanks. Cheers, Andy.
