NEW - LINDA 2.6.0 Beta 11 Release - Saitek Panels & Dynamic Devices

[ScotFlieger 280]

Hi Roland

 

Sorry for my misunderstanding. I am unable to help with your need to keep the Game Controller panel open for the modes to work. However, if other users can confirm this I will put a note in the documentation.

Don' worry about this, Andrew.

I will test this with some friends in our flightsimulator club.

 

I am very happy with LINDA 2.6 now :-)

 

Ahh, just one thing. Is it possible to get the message back when saving 2D-Panel positions via STRG+ALT+Shift+F1

There was a green ribbon with the text, running from right to left.

Also for STRG+ALT+Shift+F2 and STRG+ALT+Shift+F3

 

And thanks Andrew for doing a fantastic job here.

[ScotFlieger 280]

You are very welcome. Oder nichts zu danken.

 

Are these the Hot Keys?  What key is STRG in english? Is it CTRL?

[FSC190 30]

Yes it is

 

Version 1.1b // 30 august 2011

VRi MCP Combo II support

2D panels positions save/restore

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F1 to save positions

Positions restore is automatical

FSX title hide in windowed mode

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F2 to toggle title

2D panels titles hide

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F3 to toggle titles

Morning Roland

 

I know what you are referring to - the code still exists but I need to work out how to reactivate it.

 

As I only use Virtual Cockpit (VC) and spot, can you tell how these hotkeys would be used so that I can test them.

Hi thanks for your response. I would really like if someone who is using the 777 and saitek panel can confirm if it works and/or how should I install it in fsx. Sorry iam really new to this.

Hi

The beta needs a very long time to start, after doubleklick the window stays with "no response" in the title for ~90 seconds...

After that it finishes and runs fine.

Tested with 2 different machines,  v2.5.7 starts immediately.

Any ideas ?

Morning Andrew,

so I do too.

Just simultaneously push CRTL + SHIFT + ALT + F2 and your main screen looks like full screen mode but with windows feature.

Or detach a 2D-Subpanel like MCDU (if you fly a bus), move it to another screen and press CRTL + SHIFT + ALT + F1 and LINDA saves the position and size. Next time you detach this window, and it moves directly to its saved position. This is aircraft specific. Positions are saved in linda-cfg\system\ linda-gui.ini.

This is great for user who setup several panel and views to different screens. It works with every panel or view you show in separate window.

With the 3rd CRTL + SHIFT + ALT + F3 you hide the window frame of the detached panel or views

 

BTW, I tested the Saitek-Mode-Switch on a different system and it behaves in the same way.

Maybe Pete Dowson ha any idea, i'll ask him.

I can confirm that for windows 8.1. Same install under Win 7 has no problems. LINDA 2.6.0 starts up in 2 seconds

Found a workaround to program the Saitek Pro flight yoke button 9 10 and 11 (Mode switch)

 

Go to ..Windows/System32 and search for SaiD0BAC.pr0 and rename it to SaiD0BAC.pr0.off

Now the mode switch can be use as shift-buttons.

 

Found this solution in Pete Dowsons forum, related to Saeitek X52 mode switch, but different filename SaiD075C.pr0

Just as an FYI, with this beta installed I get an instant CTD with ntdll.dll as the offending module. I removed LINDA beta and all was good again. Any suggestions?

[ScotFlieger 280]

Hi Roland and all

 

Beta 8 uploaded to fix issues raised and add HotKeys functions.

The beta needs a very long time to start, after double click the window stays with "no response" in the title for ~90 seconds...
After that it finishes and runs fine.

 

 

This has been reported by other users and I have seen it once.  You should find that after the first run and set up, LINDA 2.6.0 Beta should run normally. What version of Windows are you using?

Hi Glenn

 

Thank you for your report. Which version of Windows are you using?  Is it fully up-to-date. Do you get any error messages or logs? 

 

Searching Google there is a suggestion you should check and update your device drivers.  Try the latest Beta 8 (this thread post #1).

Hi, Its Windows 7 x64 Home Premium. Fully updated

 

ntdll.dll ususally refers to GPU drivers but it seems funny that LINDA would trigger this?

 

I will update the GPU drivers and try beta 8 and let you know how it goes.

No change after setting up and a few restarts.

I am using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate German, also tested in Windows 10 x64 Preview with the same result.

Very strange :-)

Hi Markus

 

Can you try a few combinations for me?

 

Set LINDA to start with FSX and time how long it takes starts.

 

Load MCP/Joystick configuration for Default aircraft (ie. C172), change a button assignment and save before restart FSX and LINDA.

 

Once started you say that LINDA functions well?  Can you PM me copies of the Console output after Restart LUA Engine?  Also a copy of linda2.log.

Ok, will try this evening
