Hi

 

Im getting an error message trying to install  V2.5

I dont have the MCP combo

Any help appreciated

Hi Zoran

 

You need to select the MCP Setup page and disabled the MCP by unpicking the box. Then close and reopen LINDA and that error should go away.

 

If it does not can you list the devices and joysticks you have connected.

[zmak 331]

Do you mean "set up mcp combo"   thats unchecked already

 

This version wont recognize any controllers so the Joystick section is empty. I have the vr insight M panel but that is not supported ?

 

I kept my Cong hid.lua as mentioned in the set up instructions. Let me know if you need more pics

 

edit

 

joystick is Microsoft sidewinder FFB

Saitek throttles

Hi Zoran

 

Sorry I was up early and not awake. You screen shot (now removed) did show the MCP disabled.  Can you try again after disconnecting the VRInsight M Panel?  If that does not work, rename your config-hid.lua file and try again. 

[zmak 331]

No probs, Mpanel disconnected and config-hid.lua file renamed however it didn't help.

 

The new  config-hid.lua file  isn't showing My controllers.

OK. Are you devices visible in your Windows Device Manager?  If so can you look up the PID and VID hardware properties (in Device Manager advanced)?

[zmak 331]

Sorry missed your post somehow. im struggling to find my device listed as its a no name infra red overlay touchscreen from China. 

Okay I found it. Now to try and find Pid Vid.

Port_#0003.Hub_#0003

Hi Zoran

 

The PID and VID can be viewed by opening the Device Manager and looking under Human Interface Devices. Find the device that is not being recognised by LINDA and  open the properties (double click or right click and select properties). Then under Details, select Hardware Ids from the Property dropdown.  The Vendor and Product IDs (VID/PID) appear in the first and second line as a 4 character hexadecimal number.

 

The VID and PID are used by LINDA to work out the type of device and whether it should be included in the list of devices.

 

 

[zmak 331]

Okay there are 3 HID compliant sections under the touchscreen. 

 

 

 

1. HID compliant device

 

HID\VID_04B4&PID_C001&REV_1001&Col04

HID\VID_04B4&PID_C001&Col04

 

2. HID compliant device

 

HID\VID_04B4&PID_C001&REV_1001&Col01

HID\VID_04B4&PID_C001&Col01

 

3. HID compliant mouse

 

HID\VID_04B4&PID_C001&REV_1001&Col03

HID\VID_04B4&PID_C001&Col03

Having the same issue.

They all show on devices

Hi angeli662

 

So I can investigate please follow procedure above and report the VID and PID on the device that is reporting the error.

Scot thanks for the reply, this what I found out, I have a game keyboard from RAZER (SWOTOR)

which has a lcd touch pad with a driver from Synaptics  which I have disable I lost  that functionality of the keyboard and now I can see 6 of my 7 FSX hardware except the

GF-RP48 Push Button Rotary from Goflight, the throttle though is showing with all the axis and buttons. is there anything I can do? I have just stumble into LINDA 2 days ago and very excited to learn it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Rick, go to control panel, hardware and devices and your GF-RP48 Push Button Rotary should be in there. From there you can right click and go to the details tab and to the property drop down list and then to Hardware Id's

[angeli662 43]

Thanks Zoran, It happens to be there all the time and there are 2 entries for my keyboard too. I just renamed it and all good except my keyboard partially working. It is going to be hard to chose.

Hi Rick

 

Can you look at #8 above and let me have the VID and PID for the Razer gaming keyboard that is causing the fault report?
