New LINDA + FSUIPC6 but on P3Dv4

[Rhinozherous 90]

Hello!

As I updated FSUIPC to 6 I tried to use the new LINDA version - But I am still on P3Dv4. I thought that we can use the old buttonprofiles on the new LINDA... did I get this wrong?

- I backed up everthing in the Modules folder, deleted the folders "linda" and "linda-cfg" and also the files "ipcReady.lua", "LINDA.exe" and "linda.lua".

- Then I copied all the files for new LINDA version into the Modules folder.

- After this I inserted my backed up "linda/aircrafts" folders, and the "linda-cfg/aircrafts" folders into the new LINDA folder structure.

 

But when I start LINDA and synch with the sim I can see all my profiles in the dropdown of LINDA but they are all empty.

Thank you very much!

Hi,

FSUIPC6 and LINDA 3.2.5 will work for P3Dv4. Where have you installed FSUIPC6? It can be in c:/users/{your name}/documents/prepar3d v4 add-ons/FSUIPC6 or /P3Dv4/modules. You need to install LINDA 3.2.5 into the same folder. Then copy your backup respective /aircrafts folders into /linda and /linda-cfg. You can also copy your old fsuipc5.ini file into the same folder and rename it fsuipc6.ini.

With this set up LINDA should work as before.

PS. Please run the fault diagnosis procedure and email me your logs.

I thought that FSUIPC has installed into the Modules folder but I also have FSUIPC Folder in add-ons folder. But the ini, dll and the key file where in the module folder only... I had to copy over these three files to get LINDA happy after installing it to the add-ons folder. But now I get errors about a "violation" and it says that there are unknown joysticks.... I think I roll back to the old LINDA.

FSUIPC6 does create an add-ons FSUIPC6 in all cases. If you are using the /modules location then you will see a add-ons.xml file in the FSUIPC6 folder that points to the /modules/FSUIPC6.dll file. This is required for it to be used by P3D.

As for the unknown joysticks do what the error message says at the bottom. Go to the <flightsim folder>\Modules\linda-cfg\aircrafts\FSX Default folder and edit the config-hid.lua file (use notepad) and remove all lines except for the first line.

If you have any of the controllers that is mentioned in the config-hid.lua file attached, leave those in the file.

Okay, I get that now. But then we are at the beginning, as I installed it into the modules folder and the old profiles didnt work.

In your first reply you asked me to run a fault diagnosis.. where can I find this?

Will do that, thank you!

The procedure is marked PLEASE READ on the LINDA Support sub-forum. I only need to see this if things are still not working  

The problem with config-hid.lua file is that it contains Joystick devices no longer connected to your system. Either plug in the missing controller and restart LINDA or copy the /Linda-cfg/system/config-hid.lua file from your backup to your new setup.

I installed it all over again - with the config-hid file from the backup - now everything seems to work fine!

Thank you for help and sorry for the inconveniences!

No apology needed. At least you have it working.
