Windows 8.0 MCP partly working!

[Harmen 0]

I don't know how to solve my problem.

Information:

New PC with SSD disk and harddisk; FSUIPC 4.853 with registration; MCP panel VrInsight 1 (orig); Windows 8.0 64Bits; PMDG B737-800 NGX; Linda 1.11.

Message Joystick: everything OK!; Message VrInsight MCP Combo: everything ok; Message FSX/FSUIPC: everything ok; fsuipc4.ini: "looking good"; x=com3: "found ok". Using USB 2.0.

Problem:

As far as I can see, everything should be working fine, but only the COM part of the MCP is working! COM, NAV, ADF, TRN are woirking fine. However CRS, SPD, HDG, ALT, etc. etc. not!

I have no idea at this moment!

 

The log file of FSUIPC give a long list of information of the LUA. See below for just a part of it! On the old computer it was just a short list. 

Who can make my day a sun(ny)day?

 

With kind regards,

 

Harmen Weistra,

 Just a part of the FSUIPC log file:

You need to assign functions to the dials and buttons, none are assigned by default for the MCP1. Windows 8 isn't a good idea either to be honest.

De sun is not brightly shining, but I do understand what you mean! Thanks for this quick answer. I bought a new PC and Windows 8.0 was  what I got! :-((

I don't understand why this action is necessary. Because of Windows 8? In Windows 7 every thing worked perfect and that made me a happy men.

Now I am a little sad!

 

Still, thanks!

I have tried to assign functions with Linda. It is  possible but not with any effect! I have changed and saved the funtions of some buttons of the COM part, but no reaction. The strange thing is that the COM, NAV ADF etc correct are functioning!

 

Greetz,

Sorry I have no idea what is going on then, perhaps Guenter can help you, he has Windows 8, I suspect that may have something to do with the problem.

 I am very happy with my VRI MCP and your answer makes me sad as you will understand.

 

Maybe some extract from the console will help: 

 

"LUA.1: [iNIT} Loading...

I don't understand why Project Magenta is activated. I use and have chosen in the top line of LINDA PMDG 737NGX and FSX sync.

 

One other question: If Linda does not work, is there a way to use one of the SFP2_MCP dll files?

 

Thanks for any answer!

 

With kind regards,

 

Harmen.

Ah yes that does help, sorry I forgot about that problem. If you don't have Project Magenta and have no intention of using it, simply go into the Linda folders and remove the folders called Project Magenta. It is that which is interfering with the NGX. There will be two folders called that if I remember correctly, delete both of them.

Yes, Sir!

 

Porblem solved! It is raining here, but you make my day sunny!

 

Thanks, more then I can say!

 

With kind regards,

 

Harmen!
