Airtrain

Now it seems, that Linda doesn't always pass the button presses to the sim. Linda recognizes correctly each and every button press and switch toggle. But the switches sometimes don't get toggled in the AXE. I sometimes need to toggle them back and forth twice or thrice. I've tried with different pulses and delays in my Arcaze arx configuration file, but the result is always the same.

Eureka! Once I enabled the MCP (although I don't have one connected) the timer worked! Thanks for your help and the very useful information I wasted nearly a week of my life for this! Thank you so much for helping me!!

i could only find the function VRI_TIMER in handlers-mcp.lua . But that doesn't seem to call my function. An I'm not using the MCP and have it disabled in Linda. Do I need to enable it? Or do I need to create a new function Timer () in that file?

Hi Andrew, I'm using it with the Airbus X Extended. My hardware is an Arcaze USB with an attached LED Driver 2 (custom panel). The Arcaze FSUIPC Connector tools is active, and in test mode, the LEDs are working For testing purposes, I added thie following line directly in the Timer function of the actions.lua in the Airbus X Extended directory: ipc.writeUB(0x66c2,1) this should set the FSUIPC offset of 0x66c2 to the value 1. Which would result in the corresponding LED to indicate. Unfortunately, nothing happens. the ArcazeFC says that the FSUIPC offset 0x66c2 value is still 0. Something is afoul, and I don't know what. Do I somehow need to call the Timer function?

Thanks fr your reply! So it would make more sense to put every LED change detection in its own while loop? It also seems to me that this is actually an infinite loop... Is there a more elegant solution?

Hello Simmers, I've recently started to use LINDA to do all my button assignments. That works great. However, I have custom Panel, with Korry Syle switches with LEDs on an Arcaze USB board using the Arcaze FSUIPC connector and the offsets 0x66c0 to 0x66c4. Here is the code I'm using AA_WING_var = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_OVH_ANTIICE_WING") if AA_WING_var == 1 then AA_WING = 1 else AA_WING = 0 end AA_ENGR_var = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_OVH_ANTIICE_ENGR") if AA_ENGR_var == 1 then AA_ENGR = 1 else AA_ENGR = 0 end AA_ENGL_var = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_OVH_ANTIICE_ENGL") if AA_ENGL_var == 1 then AA_ENGL = 1 else AA_ENGL = 0 end APU_MASTER_var = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_OVH_APU_MASTER") if APU_MASTER_var == 1 then APU_MASTER = 1 else APU_MASTER = 0 end APU_START_LIGHT_AVAIL_var = ipc.readLvar("L:AB_OVH_APU_START_LIGHT_AVAIL") if APU_START_LIGHT_AVAIL_var == 1 then APU_START_LIGHT_AVAIL = 1 else APU_START_LIGHT_AVAIL = 0 end ipc.writeUB(0x66c2,AA_WING) ipc.writeSB(0x66c3,AA_ENGR) ipc.writeUB(0x66c4,AA_ENGR) ipc.writeUB(0x66c1,APU_MASTER) ipc.writeUB(0x66c0,APU_START_LIGHT_AVAIL) IIRC, it has to be in the Linda/Aircraft/AXE folder and can be any *.lua file? I#ve called mine just axe.lua. Whenever I press I button on my panel, the Sim acts accordingly, but the LEDs in the switches don't turn on. However when I reload the LUA engine in Linda, it correctly detects the current button state and changes the LEDs accordingly. But when I press a button again (and the Sim acts correctly), the LED doesn't change. Only when I reload the LUA engine again. I've read in a forum somewhere something about using while like this a_var = 1 while a_var < 255 do ...my code from above here... end it could work. But when I do this, Linda and the LUA engine crash and I have to use the Task Manager to quit Linda and the LUA engine. Any ideas how I could fix it and to it properly? Where is my mistake? Many thanks in advance! Pat

I have enbseries installed, and it didn't cause any problems for me. Maybe it is something else?

As far as I can tell, that would be sufficient. I haven't had time for long-term tests, yet. But it seems that switching back to DX9 worked without a hitch, and everything was the way it was supposed to be.

The DX10 Controller allows you with one click to change from DX10 back to DX9. Quick and easy. All the configuration is done automatically. However you can adjust some settings in the Controller, if you want to. But in most cases it isn't required. You'd be done within a minute. Unless you want to read the very comprehensive manual, which explains exactly what the Fixer is doing, and why.

Hi Michael, this might help you, as it helped me with the same problem:

Hi Skino, I love your calculator. Unfortunately, some of the data is outdated. Leipzig-Halle Aiport (EDDP) has changed it's runway layout in 2007, to two parallel runways. Of course, FSX, by default, has still the old layout. It used to be 8, 10, 26 and 28 but is now 8L, 8R, 26L and 26R. All of them are 3,600m (11,811ft) long. Would it be possible to update the data?

But this is 2012. We can expect some kind of progress on the eye-candy side. It is only natural that we expect something that looks significantly better than the wilco buses which were released ages ago. Aerosoft's Airbus X has a very nice VC. And that is from 2010... We also have lots of Carenados in the sky (released in what almost seems to be a weekly pattern ;)). And they all have high quality VCs and exterior models. I still hope that the BBS will get progressively better over the next weeks. But I doubt they'll do much about the model. But one can still hope.

I second that. These types of Buisnes Jets have always fascinated me.

Hi! How severe is the clouds issue with the HD7870? I have a similar CPU than you have ( i5-2500k @ 4.2 GHz), and want to upgrade my dated ATI Radeon 5770 1GB . At the moment, my frames are okay (most planes give me 20-35 FPS - Frames externaly locked to 35 FPS), but when I get lots of clouds, it could go down to 9-12 FPS, which is a huge hit. I use the main monitor (22" 1680 x 1050) for FSX, and a smaller 17" for a flightplaner, browser, etc. I was thinking of getting an Nvidia card, but they eat lots of power. So my next choice would be an ATI/AMD 7850 / 7870 with 2GB. They consume less power than similar nVideas but seem to be equally good with GPU-power. That's why I'm curious how big the impact of clouds is. Thanks a lot! Regards, Patrick
