MCP Combo 1 and Jeehell FMGS A320 software

Hello Lua and Linda experts,

 

i have a problem with the VRinsigt MCP Combo 1 and the A320 FMGS software from jeehell.

 

The programmer of the jeehell A320 cockpit software has created a lua actions file to
connect the MCP combo to the jeehell A320 software. In Linda i have created an aircraft
profil with this actions file as base.

 

Then i have configured the HDG rotary and 2 keys for switching the QNH between mb/inhg for testing.

If i start up the FSX and Linda there is no sync between the FCU displays from the jeehell software
and the MCP displays. The same with the key´s they do not work.

 

I think the Linda and fsuipc connection ist good because when i use an fsx default aircraft all is fine.

Have somebody an idea for this problem ? I´m not a programmer but i have checked the offsets in the lua actions file
with the offsets in the docu from jeehell software an all is ok.

 

In linda i can see a list of all functions from the lua actions file to give them a button on the mcp
but it is not working. In this menu with the functions list are 2 menu entries like Evtimer (Time) and
Init Vars what about this entries i have done nothing with this entries or is that the problem is there an action
to do someting with this "files" or entries. i think this is the defination of the lua variables but i can do
nothing with them.

 

 

I hope somebody has an idea. :smile:

Here the fsuipc log when i give a command with the HDG rotary, then there is a lua error in the log:
