I am sure hoping for some help here. I installed LINDA as per the instructions and went through and deleted the configurations from the FSG.cfg folder, so I think i have the installation correct. However, when I go to set up the switches in LINDA, I do not have the functions to choose from such as lights and APU and whatnot. All it shows me is InitVars. I am pretty sure I have done something wrong but just not sure what Be great to have some assistance here, Thanks, Jim

Hi Greggr1, Dave sent me a text a while back but apologize as i have not been on skype in quite some time. To help with your question, to the best of my knowledge, FSX will not run on a mac when using an emulator. Not sure why but it may have something to do with registry, but that is just a guess. When i ran it on my Macbook pro, i used bootcamp (a free app built into mac). First, you will need a licenced version of windows. Second, You run the bootcamp program on your mac. This will partition your harddrive and let you install windows operating system on the second drive. Then when you fire up your mac, you have the option of booting into windows or OSX. When you start up Windows, the computer will act just like a PC. You can then install FSX and it will run just fine. On the Mac mini though, don't know if it will run due to its own limitations. Hope this helps Jim

I am trying to seet up the CAB UTIL toggle and the IFE/PASS SEAT toggle in LINDA. according to PMDG, the offset is 69637 and 69638 respectively. The problem is that neither of htese numbers exists in LINDA. I know I will probably have to use the LINDA editor to do this but have extremely limited experience using this. Anyone having any experience with this, I would really appreciate hearing from you

Sure hope there is someone out there that can help. My problem happens in a variety of planes: When in a default aircraft such as the Cessna 172. I go to the view pulldown menu and select Instrument panel, then select either Main stack or GPS. The window pops up very briefly then dissappears. If I move my mouse curser over where it briefly appeared, although invisible, it is there and can be made visible if I undock the window. When in a payware aircraft such as the PMDG NGX737. I click on one of the MFD's, it also briefly appears then dissappears. If I click in the vicinity of the location, then it will not appear but rather pop back into its proper location on the dash. I am running 4 monitors, 3 are crossfired on matching Asus HD7770 cards and the single monitor is on its own its own ATI card Any and all suggestions are welcome Jim

Just have to start by saying how impressed I am with LINDA. I have just built my first subpanel for my 737 overhead, it is the pressure panel and am having a very small issue. When I set BLEED AIR 2 toggle on/off the sim responds correctly (switch set to on position, BLEED AIR is on, set switch of to off position, BLEED AIR goes off), however, when I set the same for BLEED AIR 1, my switch cycles between on and off only when I have the switch pressed up. In other words, if I want to switch BLEED AIR 1 on, I have to cycle the switch twice to get it to the on position. I went into FSUIPC and set the switch here instead and the same thing happens. Has anyone here experienced the same issue and if so, any suggestions Thanks Jim

I have recently run into this same problem. However, what caused mine to flicker may have been a bit unique. My video card was a brand new HD7770 and was being used to run 3 monitors with a display resolution of 5760 x 1080 and it was running really well. I then added a second brand new HD5750 video card specifically to display the forward overhead on a fourth monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 ( I am using an older Acer 800 x 600 monitor for the 4th display). That's when the flashing blue circle curser started as I tried to open the forward overhead view. I did find a very easy solution to my problem after exploring panel resizing, EXDok and whatnot. I simply made sure the FSX start screen was on my smaller monitor when I started the flight, maxed out the view on the smaller monitor, then opened up the forward overhead with no problem. Last step was to move the main flight window to the three large screens and everything is working very well. I don't know how many people will have this issue and also have 4 monitors running but just in case, thought I would share my solution. Just for the record, still want to explore panel resizing as I venture forth to build a cockpit and EXDok as it looks like a really cool program for FSX viewing

I'm going to look into that right away, thanks for the input

Looking for help with resizing the 2D overhead panel I have recently built a new computer with an HD7770 video card using three monitors. When I attempt to open the 2D overhead panel, the panel will not show up and the curser starts blinking with a blue circle. After a bit of research, the issue seems top be with panel sizes and 3 monitor resolutions. The question I am asking here, as I have never re-sized a panel is; 1.Can anyone recommend a good starting size 2. which of the 5 panel config files would be the one to change, I am guessing it is the panel_Wide as I have wide view set to TRUE Any help with this would be much appreciated

Hey all, this tutorial is fantastic but I do have one question though. When I go to set up the IRS, two things are not happening and i am not sure why. First, the white align lights do not flash and there is no message on the FMC saying "Enter IRS position" (I am set for 30 second align)second, I do not get the "SET IRS POS" and square boxes when I page back to first page. The result of this is I cannot set my ground position thus no PFD and ND, etc etc I have tried a number of ways of doing this and still no luck. I am sure i am doing something wrong but not sure what. Incidently, I did install hotfix, do not know if this is related Thanks in advanceforget all this, i got it to work. Here is how: I set IRS to align just like it stated and let the lights go out. I then reset L and R to off then back to NAV and voila Never fails, after fighting with it for an hour then posting, I finally find the method, lol Thanks
