VRinsight MCP not responding with Windows 11

[speedbird01 0]

hello,

i have LINDA v3.3.4 installed, and i use P3Dv5.3 on a Windows 11 system. whatever i try, i can't get the Vrinsight MCP to work.

when i scan with the program 'vrinsight.exe' it tells me that the device i found on COM3, and during the scan, i see movement on the MCP, and the lights lit up for a second witch tell me that the MCP is installed correct.

however, when i start P3D, nothing happend. i see no error message in LINDA, and the com3 is selected, and offcourse MCP is enabled.

i try to downgrade to version 3_2_6_1111, but no results. i try the UTF-8 trick as mentioned in this forum, but no results. what seems to be the problem? i do see errors in the Logfile, but i dont know what that means.

Hi Alex

You appear to have identified at least 2 of your problems. The first is that FSUIPC6 is not finding/opening the comport (line 266) and that LINDA is unable to open the config-vri.lua file due to the UTF-8 issue (lines 68422 and 83922).

The first could be caused by other software (eg. VRSim.EXE) running. I am not sure what to suggest. It is unusual to have 4 comports defined in fsuipc6.ini. It may worth edit the file to remove the extra ones from the [vrinsight] block.

The second problem has been reported with WIN11 by at least one other user. I can not often an answer if you have already followed the thread on this topic.

Sorry to be so negative but I have answers for you. From my long experience downgrading or reinstalling software rarely offers a solution.
