LINDA VRinsight MCP Combo 2

[GKJ666 0]

Hi I have bought a VRinsight MCP Combo 2 but I am struggling to get it to sync to FSX. I am using FSX Steam Edition on Windows 10. When I run LINDA the configuration check lists say's Joy stick / HID devices ok, VRinsight MCP Combo OK, FSX / FSUIPC Settings OK. When I run VRiSim It finds the MCP-Combo but say's No Aircraft Found.

The MCP-Combo shows SPD HDG ALT and Nav etc... However I don't get any response in FSX I have tried PMDG 737-NGX, Boeing 747, i737

I also have Saitek Yoke, Pedals, Throttle Quadrant and Switch Panel

Can anyone help please

Hi

 

Couple of points:

 

1. Does it work OK if you load a 'default' aircraft?

2.Have you downloaded the modules for the NGX, i747?

Make sure you read the install instructions carefully.

 

 

Thanks

Hi thanks for your response it doesn't work with any aircraft I have downloaded the NGX i737 modules.

I have the M-panel and that works great that's why I decided to go for the MCP-Combo.

Hi, Welcome to the LINDA community forum. 

For the VRi Combo panel to work with LINDA you do not use the the VriSim software. You only need to install the serial driver. You will also need a licenced (Paid) version of FSUIPC4 4.963. 

The default SPD/HDG/ALT functions are insufficient to work with more sophisticated aircraft like PDMG 737NGX and Aerosoft Airbus. They only work with default aircraft that come with your flt sim. I suggest you try one of these aircraft first to get the Combo working first.

For the PDMG 737NGX to work you will need to assign the specific NGX functions to the appropriate knob and buttons. There should be a Default MCP2 configuration file in the folder /linda-cfg/aircrafts/PDMG 737NGX called config-mcp.default. You need to change the extension to .lua and restart LINDA. 

Alternatively you will need to make the assignments yourself. To do this click on the +/++/-/-- and select from the PDMG 737NGX module the appropriate AP Knob functions.

Hi where do I get the serial driver ?

[ScotFlieger 280]

From the VRInsight download website. Where you got the VriSim software from.

I downloaded what I thought was the drivers but it was the base pack I found serial FP 2 I have loaded up the FSX 737 and it is working slow but working

[ScotFlieger 280]

The SerialFP2 is the correct driver software.
