Linda not used for a while. Trying to connect MCP COMBO v1, latest Linda 4_1_3_198 to latest MSFS 1.22.2.0, w. latest FSUIOC 7.2.15, Win10 latest Version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1526),

in FSUIPC.ini:

[VRInsight]
1=COM3
MCP=COM3
2=COM4

Get error LINDA
[VRInsight] not found!
MCP=COM3 not found!

When I click 'want to correct entry errors' I get a 'access violation' error in LINDA.exe
Same errors when downgrading to LINDA_4_1_2_140

BUT,
if I revert to LINDA_4_0_5_173, my latest oldie, then No Errors, loading OK, everything OK

My hunch is latests Linda's don't read or badly read FSUIPC.ini and perhaps is because I have 13 disk drives in my PC, of which 5 SSD's and something changed in Linda file read/write (or something)?

FSUIPC directory k:\FSUIPC7

any thoughts?

 

@majapahit thank you for the report. There is bug in the fix I put in for writing to the FSUIPC7.ini. You should manually edit FSUIPC7.ini to read:

[vrinsight]
1=com3 
2=com3

Delete the MCP= line

Save the file and restart LINDA. Don’t not use the Make Changes button.

What Com Port setting do you have set for MCP and CDU? I will need this to replicate the problem.

upped again to Linda 4_1_3_198
did
vrinsight]
1=com3 
2=com3
deleted
MCP = com3

See the same errors. But I cant really test Linda because the EFIS mode profiles that I used to see there, there are none but GPS.

Also this would be for my Bredok3 737Max (bar PMDG) and I have not quite figured out how these FSUIPC HVAR works (in particular X:\FSUIPC7\HvarFiles\B3D_737.hvar),

which do work with the default B747 in the in FSUIPC menu but there's a long list there, but a very short list in the X:\FSUIPC7\HvarFiles\B747-8.hvar file, how does that work?

?

I need to ask you to read and follow the Fault Diagnosis Procedure (under LINDA Support) and send me the logs for me to see what errors you are experiencing.

Have you created a module for the B3D 737? If so you will have to write your own functions for the EFIS. The GPS ones are for MSFS Default aircraft and are just place holders. No modules other than the FlyByWire A32NX Neo have so far be developed and issued.

Hvars are event triggers and can perform such actions as pushing a button or operating a switch. They are send only and no data can be read back. You issue an Hvar event with the ipc.activateHvar() function. Available hvars can be viewed on the LINDA Tracer page (Developer Mode). You can trigger an event (click Send) and also send a parameter (param).

I tried to do Linda Problem and Fault Diagnosis - Guidance

had as only entries

[vrinsight]
1=com3
2=com3

had the
6. A detailed description of what the problem is. Comments like “It doesn’t work” are not very helpful.
VRinsight MCP Combo
• MCP Device enabled
• MCP COM port not set!
• CDU Device disabled!
• No [VRINSIGHT] entry!
Setup required!

Did the
Turn ON Fault Diagnosis Mode button.

Restarted Linda

Pressed SYNCH for aircraft 737

Et voila all errors disappeared, connection

linda2.log still has

[ERROR] Access Violation reading FSUIPC [OMM] Access violation at address 007F6570 in module 'LINDA.exe'. Read of address 7102FE19
[MAIN]  Access Violation reading FSUIPC [OMM] Access violation at address 007F6570 in module 'LINDA.exe'. Read of address 7102FE19

though

?

Please email me the logs as per the procedure. Do not paste into forum. 

Your 2 FSUIPC6.ini entries are the same. Manually edit the file to leave just one COM3 entry.
