My VRInsight MCP Combo & FSUIPC, SPD HDG ALT Lights etc works with MS default Beech Baron, Bredok 737, 747, 787 etc
but nothing moving (ALT SPD HDG) with the PMDG 737?

In FSuipc ini:
[VRInsight]
1=COM3
MCP=COM3

FSuipc Log show no errors at startup
94 VRI port 1 "COM3" opened
1656 VRI FMER ("MCP Combi") detected on port COM3
18875 User Aircraft ID not supplied -- trying default (??????)
19390 Aircraft="PMDG 737-700BDSF FedEx OE-IWE"

LINDA log shows no errors at startup

With PMDG 737 on runway turning ALT HDG SPD knobs of MPC COMBO fsuipc.log appears:

 This is the big clue. Open named file in LINDA Editor and comment out line 143 by adding 2 dashes (- -) - no spaces. This will be fixed in the next LINDA v4.1.x update.

I commented out line 143 by adding 2 dashes (- -) with Notepad++
(// BTW not deleting .bak makes FSuipc read the .bak file also and FSuipc stops working)

no errors in fsuipc log
no errors in linda log

   519093 LUA.4: LINDA:: [INIT] Ready to go, Captain!

AP panel flight mode buttons work (CMD, ALT, N1, V/S etc), but not SPD HDG ALT V/S rotate buttons, do nothing

WEIRD
tested versions of fsuipc and Linda, and the when everything set to default again
and un-commenting line 143 back to original
error
188547 *** LUA Error: K:\FSUIPC7\linda/libs/lib-msfs-extra.lua:143: attempt to concatenate global 'MSWPvar' (a nil value)
has now disappeared from the log - not complaining

MCP rotaries work 100% with default planes

?

 

@majapahit please read and follow fault diagnosis procedure under LINDA Support and email me the logs.

Was reading the install text for the new 737 module, did that, tried again, WORKS now
hurray

thx for the great job you're doing
