Understood. Looking forward to it! Thanks

Thanks gboz and Scot I was so doggedly sticking to the text of Brian 747s instructions I had it in my head that FSUIPC must handle all axis and LINDA all buttons. I will revert to using FSX directly for the POV (and have used FSUIPC in the past). Thanks for the clarification Best regards Paul

Hello All I am a new LINDA User and am going through the process of setting up LINDA with FSX SE for the first time. I have read Brian 747s excellent Introducing LINDA document multiple times and have followed it. Firstly the required information so I can be helped 1. LINDA application version = Ver 2.9.3 2. LINDA Module Name and Version = MS FSX Default aircrafts Ver 1.0 3. FSX SE. Fresh install. I have FSUIPC (Registered copy) Version 4.964 installed. I have deleted the FSUIPC.ini file and let it create a new fresh one 4. Cessna 172 default version (although it doesn't seem to matter which default aircraft I load the same problem exists with any aircraft) 5. What was I trying to do? Well I'm on page 19 of Brian 747s instructions. I have configured my (brand new) controls (a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and Thrustmaster pedals - I splashed out! I also have a old CH Products yoke connected) and I have checked that they are both recognised by Windows and LINDA. They all are. All the axes, buttons, (and perhaps importantly for this problem?), the POV Hat on the Thrustmaster Joystick indicate properly in the WINDOWS 10 (64 bit version) Joystick - HOTAS Warthog Game Controllers properties window - where you can test buttons/axes POV etc. I have noticed that in this window my POV Hat is not as a button but as a POV Hat! Is this an important distinction as far as LINDA is concerned??)t. Anyway. What I was trying to do was setup the "vanilla" actions for fsx's default aircraft first in LINDA. Having firstly ensured that there were no axes or buttons assigned in FSX SE itself (by deleting every axis and button assignment in Normal and Slew modesvia Options Controls) and then checking that no buttons were assigned in FSUIPC (I used to use FSUIPC for that but now have LINDA). The first button/s I wanted to program was my POV button on my Thrustmaster joystick. When I pushed the POV to its 8 different positions they get recognised as H1: 1 to H8. I configured these as follos FSX DEFAULT AIRCRAFT - Documented Control Assignments Control Label No Assignment NOSE DOWN ↑ H1: 1 on FSX : PAN_UP:0 (in FSX standard controls) NOSE UP ↓ H1: 5 on FSX : PAN_DOWN:0 (in FSX standard controls) RWD → H1 :3 on FSX : PAN_RIGHT:0 (in FSX standard controls) LWD ←H1 :7 on FSX : PAN_LEFT:0 (in FSX standard controls) NONE ↗ H1:2 on FSX : PAN_RIGHT_UP:0 (in FSX standard controls) NONE ↖ H1:8 on FSX : PAN_LEFT_UP:0 (in FSX standard controls) NONE ↙ H1:6 on FSX : PAN_LEFT_DOWN:0 (in FSX standard controls) NONE ↙ H1:4 on FSX : PAN_RIGHT_DOWN:0 (in FSX standard controls) What the problem is as follows: Having saved the LINDA config the view (when using the POV on the joystick) in the aircraft seems to PAN straight UP and straight DOWN fine. It stops panning when I release the POV. It also PANS LEFT and RIGHT fine. However if I select either PAN RIGHT UP or PAN LEFT UP or PAN RIGHT DOWN or PAN LEFT DOWN the view movement is very jerky and when I release the POV button the view in the aircraft just keeps on panning long after I have released the POV button. I cant stop it from continuing to pan until it stops itself much later even though I have released the POV In LINDA I have set the Commands to occur ON PRESS and ON REPEAT but on release I have set Do nothing. For example; On Press On Repeat On Release H1: 1 FSX: PAN DOWN:0 FSX: PAN DOWN: 0 Do nothing I have no idea why the pan views in any default aircraft Virtual View will not pan up right/left or pan down right/left properly and why they don't stop panning when I release the POV on my Thrustmaster Joystick POV. Probably I am doing something silly - but I don't know what is causing this to happen???? Can you please help me ? Thanks Paul

Hello Joolsd Thx. I have only experienced this since reinstalling the NGX737 (had to do a clean install of Windows 7 recently). I don't recall this being a problem previously! Hi Fabo No I don't use EZCA. Any other ideas on how to correct it? Thx

Hello All When I startup the 737 I seem to get a view from the cockpit of the concrete in front of me. CTRL+SPACEBAR correct the view but if I then look left or right the view reverts back to looking at the concrete! Can anyone tell me how to change the 2D Cockpit Views back to their Default View positions. I have clearly messed up my forward view and don't seem to be able to get it to return to normal Thanks

Hello All I hope someone can help me out with a self inflicted error I have made to my 2D Cockpit View Position. I know this is something daft I have done but cant seem to get it to change back to the default view! The problem is as follows. when I startup the NGX737 on say London Gatwicks runway I seem to be staring straight at the concrete in front of me!. The view looks like the pic in the attached Startup view file If I then press Ctrl+Spacebar the view changes to the normal View Position (the one I would expect to see) - see attached "After Ctrl+SPACEBAR file attaached If however I use the hat switch to look left or right when I let go the View reverts back to looking at the concrete straight in front of me Clearly I have messed up the forward view from my 2D cockpit. Can anyone tell me how to change it back - so that it stays correct? Thanks

I have only one problem with FSUIPC and the NGX - so if anyone has a fix I would be thrilled to know what it is?? I am having a probelm deplying or retracting the gear using the assigned button on my CH products yoke? It works fine using G on the keyboard. I am using FSUIPC to control the buttons on my CH products yoke (and have deleted all the key and joystick assignments in normal and slew mode in FSX to remove any possible conflicts with FSUIPC!). Every other assigned button (flaps, view, elevator trim etc etc) on the CH products yoke works just fine (via FSUIPC). It is only the gear thay will not function. Anyone else had a similar problem and got a fix? Thanks

Thanks Chaps! Will stop looking for it then! Shame really. They really sold it to me at the end of Tutorial 1! Have something to look forward too now

Does this exist yet? Have tried searching this forum and looked on the PMDG web site but cant find it anywhere? Thanks

Thanks Dan and Ron for the advice. I will get the AFCAD v221 utility and install it! No idea why I never thought of checking the forum for AFCAD! Its always the simple things!! Thanks again

Dan/AndrewThanks for both your replies. I did a quick check of the freq FS9 is using by opening the map of Frankfort and drilling down to the runway/ILS list as Dan suggested, and it was using an old freq, so it looks like my scenery is out of date. The German ** website (http://www.vacc-sag.com) has in its downloads section a EDDF AFCAD file (AF2.EDDF_ 2D.bgl) which I assume is an scenery update (there is no accompanying text)? Thing is, the whole subject of AFCAD files seems to have passed me by, so I don't really understand where, in the FS9 file structure I should place this file - and whether adding this file could mess up the EDDF freeware software I already have installled? Any advice on these questions much appreciatedBest regardsPaul

I'm sorry if this has been asked before - I did do a search to see if it was, and found nothing - but its been driving me nuts!I fly the PMDG7474-400 into Frankfurt quie a lot. I have the latest Navigraph airac on board and I checked the correct frequency for the ILS for Runway 07L at Frankfurt on the ** website. The ILS frequency for 07L is 110.10. When I select the ILS for 07L the FMC selects this frequency 110.10, but when I fly through the localiser and hitt the APP button - I get NAV INVALID on the FMC and the aircraft flies through the localiser and captures neither the localiser or glideslope. I have no idea why this is happening - but if anyone can explain it to me - and put me out of my misery - I would be most gratefulThanksPaulBAW1065

Bryan. OK. Will do. Wasn't sure if it was a FS9 or a PMDG issue - so tried here first. Thanks
