I have a question on LINDA and MSFS2020.  My VrInsight panel is essentially collecting dust as I was frustrated with how it worked when MSFS first was released.

So today, is it possible to use the VrInsight (Boeing, version 2) with LINDA and profiles for PMDG, FENIX, Horizon 787, Headwind A339 & FBW A320 ?

Does it work to move the MCP items to match the aircraft and display properly ?

I see that a new mini panel for Airbus was recently released that seems to work well (based on YouTube review), however, not sure if it uses its own proprietary software or LINDA.

Lastly, if LINDA is not a viable option, does the VrInsight work with the above aircraft using some other software like Axes & Ohs ?

Can't see why not if it used FSUIPC. Or Spad next.

Yes, I have FSUIPC 7 for MSFS.

Have an older panel myself that also collects dust.  Moved on to the StreamDeck+ and really have it all.  Buttons and knobs and profiles for pretty much everything.  

Yes it works perfectly I have the same material as you Mark.MCPCOMBO one the oldest
In my opinion it is better than StreamDeck because you have VRInsight and it is not necessary to take money to buy it
I agree that StreamDeck is a splendid new products and you can find a lot of profiles for every plane in MSFS on FlightSimTo but for me 

Pmdg737-700 80 Perfect with Linda Profiles etc works 100%
A320 fenix works Perfect with 90% except concerning license Fenix about Display not works correctly 
ATR72-600 Perfect with I create a profile not perfect but you can improve it 100%
CRJ Perfect with Linda Profiles a big thanks to every guy who creates all of these profile.100%

and a lot of others if you take time to create them from others

So do-not put again VR insight in "Placard" to take dust.
You do not have to buy FSUIPC7 you have perhaps you need to download MSFS SDK 

After that you can use Behavior and FSUIPC7 this nice soft to recognize every LVARS

The RolsRoyce or Simmer Pete and John Dowson if they do not create this soft forsure a lot of products does not works 😍

if you need more help do not hesitate to contact me it should be a pleasure 

I can sent you all of my files sometimes modified.BUt I am not a développer or programmer

Mark nice cockpit 😀

Hi Tony
One question about display 
It does not exist on StreamDeck?
Are-you using another system?

For example MobilFlight and Arduino card as MEGA or similar UNO?
And do-you test it on Fenix?
I would like add Display on Fenix 
About Pmdg my VRInsight works perfectly

if yes do-you share your experience?
Many thanks

HI every guys

Concerning Linda here is a small recap of what you want.

1-https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/583434-linda-415-msfs-2020-compatible-5-jun-2022/
2-Buy FSUIPC7 the best is to buy it in my opinion 29,99$ sure all works perfectly
3-https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/618937-beta-pmdg-737-for-msfs-v06-24-may-2022

Pmdg 737-800 works 100% with MCPCOMBO old for me and CDU2
4-https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/619428-beta-fenix-a320-v03-16-jun-2022

 

Fenix A320 works 85% with MCPCOMBO old for me Display does not work correctly but it is the same for others products except SKALARKI expansive (900$) but it exists a soft you found on Simmarket 

Personaly I download also MSFS SDK to complete the research of LVars but FSUIPC7 propose this research with WASM.

Add Developper mode in MSFS2020 controls to benefit of new functions inside Menu

You can define a LVAR and Verify the name and add after that to your action.lua file.

5-Inside FSUIPC7.ini
Verify if COM are correct.
Personaly i launch every time the VRInsught Soft to see if my material is recognized a little fastidious but comfortable after.
Sometimes you can have disconnection so I have the USB ports just near me so it is easier to disconnect and reconnect them 😀 Do-not forget that we had old materials.😉

Verify if you have these lines (concerning CDU1 or CDU2 it depends of your matérial)
Concerning oldest CDU1 without screen it works if you attribute directly in FSUIPC7 the right LVAR (I can send you a Macro file)

[VRInsight] it depends of your COM
1=com3
2=com4
3=com5

[VRInsight.CDU1]
DriverReads=YES
DriverWrites=YES
Lua=LuaDispatcher

[VRInsight.CDU2]
DriverReads=YES
DriverWrites=YES
Lua=LuaDispatcher

[WAPI]
EnableWAPI=Yes
[WideServer]
WideFSenabled=Yes

for example

[MacroFiles]
1=A32nx_OVHD
6=F320_ECAM
7=F320_FIRE
8=F320_TCAS
9=F320_FCU
10=F320_CDU2
11=A32nx_CDU

I am not a developer but all works for me and I can said a big Thanks to Andew Granden who create this soft and also as i said to Pete and John Dowson

loved Linda from the get go  -  for those with hardware especially vrinsight panels it became  essential for us to be able to enjoy the panels we spent hundreds of dollars on and couldn't get them to functions so i am extremely sad that support has come to an end. BUT  for those with Vrinsight panels - SPADNEXT works flawlessly - tones of profiles available already for vrinsight panels and if you are using the fenix use fenixQuartz for the proper displays !! its an expensive software but reliable. ( i have both the VRIinsightA320 overhead and FCU 100 percent programed)
