Hello everyone,

I am not new to flight sim but LINDA. I got a problem when I want to use LINDA and I hope someone can help me, Thank you so much!!
(sorry for my bad English grammar that it is not my first language.)
After installed linda, it shows "Everything is ok!" but nothing happens on my P3DV4.5 when I press any button with honeycomb yoke or logitech throttle.

This is the screen capture video,
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HR7Fv5cWE7Nc6Q1uMeY9PEhtkUNCKDLI

 

First of all, these are my spec
P3D V4.5 (Up to date) With SDK
FSUIPC 5
LINDA 3.1.1
Honeycomb Yoke

I downloaded LINDA and copied all files (linda, linda-cfg) into P3D/Modules (where is FSUIPC located)
I download (e.g.)QW787 module and copied all files in to linda, linda-cfg

Started P3D and LINDA, selected QW787 in LINDA aircraft, also in P3D
Then click on sync to sim
In LINDA, QW787 outlined in orange
Then I go to joysticks page
Now, linda can highlight on what buttons I pressed on my yoke
Looks fine, then I started to align the functions with my buttons
Row Button 21, click on empty, selected QW > External light > BCN Light on
Row Button 20 ............ BCN Light off
SAVE
go to P3D, it shows LINDA Config reloaded
Now, I press the button 20, 21, Nothing Happens....
Anyone can help me please?? I don't know what's wrong with it. I watch many video in youtube, read the manual for Linda but nothing changed.

Anything I need to setup in FSUIPC?
How about simconnect? I think I installed it already. (If it is really need simconnect, how to check am I install it correctly?)

P.s.  sorry for my bad English grammar that it is not my first language.

Thank you so much for helping me

Hi @kizker

Welcome to LINDA. Thank you for the detailed video and information. Your setup appears to be correct, LINDA is sync-ed to P3D (orange outline) and LINDA is seeing the button presses.

The problem appears to be with the functions you are assigning to a button. If you are using a simple press button then you should assign the _toggle function to the OnPress action. The first press will turn the switch on and the second will turn it off. If you are using a on/off switch then you are correct to assign the _on function to the OnPress and _off to the OnRelease action. 

Sometimes it can help to Reload the LUA Engine  

If this does not help please follow the fault diagnosis procedure and email me the logs.

Hi,

I've tried all you advised.

actually, I am using on/off button. I've tried to set __on/__off and also __toggle but it dosen't work

Also I've tried to reload LUA Engine in LINDA many time and a message shown in P3D said "LINDA reloaded" but still nothing happen when I press any button with my yoke

I am going to email the log to you, thank you so much!!

I've just sent the e-mail, plesase check and thank you so much

Is there 2 QW787 files in your install? Happened to me with the NGX, I had 2 modules for the same aircraft some how. Deleting the “user made module “ resolved the problem. 

Hi @kizker

Thank you for emailing me the logs. The problem is not with your setup but is due to an error with an unexpected symbol in your /modules/system/config-sys.lua file. This is producing a runtime error (see fsuipc5.log line 217562). Such errors will stop LINDA running correctly.

I recommend you delete the file and restart LINDA. The file will be automatically recreated.

@ScotFlieger

oh!! It's really about this problem. Actually I have noted this unexpected symbol before and I've already tried to delete all files of Linda but not working

then I;ve tried to delete all files of FSUIPC and LINDA, not working too

I even Uninstall P3DV4.5 yesterday but the problem is still here.

do you think it is a problem about my pc language?? It is Traditional Chinese. (But I noted that some people I watched on youtube are using Chinese too)

or do you have another solution to solve this problem??

I agree that P3D, FSUIPC and LINDA prefer English setting on PC. They require the standard character set.

There should be no reason to reinstall P3D or FSUIPC. Some users do benefit from a clear LINDA installation.
