VRInsight MCP Combo (1) nothing moving PMDG 737

[majapahit 3]

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

?
