This is a new module for the PMDG NGXu (based on the current NGX module). Several variables have to be changed and GSX Service is disabled (due to recent GSX updates), but in the end, the module should be working flawless with your current NGX assignment. Download: PMDG_737_NGXu_v1_4 IMPORTANT! You need the latest FSUIPC version 5.153 or later for this module! This FSUIPC version contains updated NGXu offsets. IMPORTANT! The old NGX and the new NGXu will not work together if both modules are activated! Both addons can remain installed, but you have to make sure, that only one LINDA module is active! Two ways: 1) copy the LINDA module you do not currently use away before flight or 2) rename the" ident.lua" in the module you do not wish to use to sth. like "ident.luaoff" or similar. "ident.lua" can be found here: Prepar3D v4\Modules\linda\aircrafts\PMDG 737 NGX(u) hint: users of simStarter could make easily two profiles for the NGX and the NGXu which could be then rename or copy the files/folders via simStarters Start Manager. For more information have a look into the simStarter manual. To install the module: Download and expand the zip file into a suitable accessible location (ie. desktop). Open LINDA and ensure that the aircraft selector is not Sync-ed to Sim and --Aircrafts-- is displayed. Click on the Maintenance option. Under Import Aircraft Module click on Select Source Folder and locate the folder PMDG_737_NGXu_v1_x/PMDG_737_NGXu_v1_x. You should see the folders LINDA and LINDA_CFG displayed. Click on Select. Click on Install/Overwrite Module button. Open your Flt Sim and click on Sync To Sim (ensure PMDG_737_NGXu displayed and outlined in orange). Enjoy. Details of available functions are contained in the PMDG 737 NGXu-Functions.txt file in the /module/linda/aircrafts/PMDG 737 NGXu/. Please report all issues and suggestion under LINDA Support. Changes: v1.4 added time acceleration display for MCP2 fixed DME1/2 toggle for MCP2 added LOGO pulse light Reworked MCP2 Display v1.3 fixed Landing Light System for new options fixed Autobreak logic V1.2 Reworked/Fixed Ground Connections V1.1 Changed/Fixed System Annunciator behave Known Issues v1.0: SPD and VS values do not always display correctly in the MCP II Combo. Will investigate but can't promise.

Majestic Dash 8 Q-400 Module version 2.6 Majestic Dash 8 LINDA module version 2.6 This update adds a specific preprogrammed configuration default file for the VRInsight Original MCP (config-mcp.default). Installation Notes: Download and unzip it and place the two folders into: */Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Modules or similar for P3D Say "yes" if he'd like to overwrite anything In the folder Modules\linda-cfg\aircrafts\Majestic Dash 8 Q-400 you'll find 3 files. They contain MCP Combo default assignments for the Dash8. If you want to use them rename them from *.default to *.LUA I will update this files from time to time and will make a little note in this thread about the changes. Users, who also made changes to this codes could post it in this thread or drop me a PM and we will update the module. Features: All switches are working (most on/off/toggle) except Fire and FDR and all FO-side functions "semi-intelligent" MCP Combo displays: dependend on importance the display will show APU state, GPU state, Conditions Lever, Flaps state, Cabin Temp (Cabin Temp only for MCP Combo2) "switch bundles" for several functions: e.g. all panel lights with one button cold and dark function (from default loading state) no macros needed Version History: 1.0 > 1.1 - changed DC_ALL_Batteries according tutorial - Fixed FORMAT and TERR/WX button funtionality - enabled engine control and autofeather 1.1 > 1.2 - added TOGA 1.2 > 1.3 -some minor changes -added NAV source toggle -added AP_VS_PITCH_DNfast and AP_VS_PITCH_UPfast () -added MIP_SPDBUG_incfast () and MIP_SPDBUG_decfast () -improved ALT and HDG fast functions -added NH indicators during startup for MCP 2 Combo 1.3 > 2.0 Released with PRO Version - HUD - Enhanced door code (open and close) - added GSX refueling (calling refueling truck will open MJC payload program - be sure to add the correct path in the \Prepar3D v3\Modules\linda\aircrafts\Majestic Dash 8 Q-400\actions.lua - at line 63 ) - Clock CHR press 2.0 > 2.1 - fix for LINDA 2.6.6 or later to allow correct operation with FS2Crew voice and VRI Combo MCP panels - Added code to correctly display Landing Gear positions LEDs on Saitek Switch Panel - fix for operation with VRI Combo Airbus FCU panels - Added additional toggle switch functions - inclusion of config-mcp2a.default configuration for VRI Combo Airbus FCU panels 2.1 > 2.2 - corrected minor typo 2.2 > 2.3 - further fixes for correct operation with FS2Crew 1.5 or later and the VRI Combo MCP panels. An issue still exists where the FO repeats the '1000 to Go. ALT SEL' within 1000 ft of the selected altitude; the workaround is to change the target altitude by more than 1500 ft on reaching cruise. - added display of throttle position on VRI Combo MCP panels to allow better coordination with Condition Levers. 2.3 --> 2.4: some fixes added GSX Door function you can disable the GSX door function by uncommenting the function GSX_Door_Service () inside the timer function 2.4 --> 2.5: Adds Q400 specific config-mcp.default for users of the VRInsight MCP1(original). 2.6 added GSX Library function Important! Have a look here!!! Need to download the new GSX library GSX cfg for Dash added. Have a look into the readme inside the GSX folder included in the module link above!

This module is provides most of the important functions for buttons, knobs and switches for the FSLabs A319X, A320X, A321X and new A320SL and A321SL (Sharklet) variants. It has been tested with the LINDA 3.3, P3Dv5.3 HF1 and FSUIPC 6.1.7. This update adds partial implementation of the VRInsight Combo 2 MCP(Boeing) and FCU(Airbus) displays based on the latest FSL Hardware Interface information. It does not work with the original MCP1 panel. The following items are not implemented: Speed Managed Mode dot. Altitude Managed Mode dot. Vertical Speed input and display. Speed Mach input does not display correct mach number until released. FPA Heading input does not include magnetic variation (reads course only). IMPORTANT = This module has been renamed to FSLabs A3xx to allow it to work with all variants. You will need to copy your existing config-hid.lua and config-mcpX.lua files from the /modules/linda-cfg/FSLabs A320X/ folder to /modules/linda-cfg/FSLabs A3xx/ folder. A list of all available functions is contained in the download. NOTE: Some functions have been renamed and reorganised to avoid confusion and allow the pop up menus to be displayed on screen. Installation: Use the Aircraft Module installation functionality on the Maintenance page of LINDA 3.2.x. Alternatively, manually copy the content of this archive in your /FSUIPC6 folder. Your current configurations will not be overwritten, but always make a backup before starting. With this version you need all 4 MCRO files to make the overhead switches work! The MCRO are part of the download. Copy these file into you /FSUIPC6 folder. They cover only the majority overhead and pedestals buttons (Fuel pumps, battery, master caution, APU, MDCU). FSLabs A3xx module 3.1a - Compatible with VRI MCP2 (Boeing) and MCP2A (Airbus) only FSLabs A3xx module v1.5 - Compatible with VRI MCP1(Original) NOTE: FSLA320-SX, FSL321-SX, FSLA320-SL and FSLA321-SL .MCRO (mouse macro) files are needed to make the above functions working! Insert the MCRO files into your FSUIPC6 folder. This version requires the addition of LUA socket/http module. Ensure /LUA folder and contents copied into your FSUIPC6 folder. 3.1 Fixed issue with missing LUA sockets module 3.0 Added macros for -SL Shaklet variants. Fix to MCDU 2, 5 and I keys. Fix to Overhead Fuel and other selections. Fix to Mouse Macros for all variants. Changed function naming to standardise. 2.3 Fixed missing LUA Sockets functions 2.2 Added VRI MCP display functions 2.1 Fix to HDG/TRK/FPA default on start up Fix to MCP/FCU default configuration settings 2.0 Adds FCU display for VRInsight MCP2 and FCU 1.5 Fixes incorrect .MCRO references Fixes ADR1, ADR2 and ADR3 buttons 1.4 Fix to FD and LS both functions Fixes to Fuel Pumps to ensure compatibility with A321 (some function name changes) 1.3 Fix for All taxi lights.

This module has been developed for use with the Fenix Airbus A3200 running on MSFS 2020. The module requires use with LINDA 4.1.4 and FSUIPC7 7.3.6 or later. See Note below on Lvars. Due to delays with MSFS exposing Lvars to FSUIPC7 on start-up, it is strongly recommended that you start MSFS2020, load the Fenix A320 ready to fly and wait a minute before starting FSUIPC7 and LINDA. It is also recommended to click Restart LUA Engine as the last thing. A full list of functions is provided via the link below. Default configuration setup files are provided for all VRi MCP panels and CDU2/3. However, no testing has been possible on the MCP1 (Original) panel and no guarantees can be given. Version 0.3 beta provides most important functions for operation of the aircraft. Some function names have changed for consistency. This version provides the following improvements: Removed Fuel MODE SET from Fuel Pump ALL functions Added Side Stick AP Disconnect button functions Added Throttle ATHR Disconnect button functions Fixed EXT PWR OFF function Fixed Master Warning and Caution functions Added limited VRI FCU ALT display Added FO EFIS functions Added Weather Radar functions Added multiple functions for BAT, EXTPWR, ADIRS, AICE, HYD, BLEED, PACK, Radio Power, BRAKE FAN, XPDR and ECAM Fixed duplicate ENG1 Anti-Ice functions Renamed APU Bleed functions Added ENG1 and ENG2 Bleed functions Added PACK1 and PACK2 functions Added HOT AIR functions Added HYD PUMP Button functions Reduced VRI FCU Knob fast sensitivity Fixed Pedestal Flood All dec function Fixed Autobrake functionality Due to limitations in the available interface it is not possible for the VRI FCU Speed, Heading or Vertical Speed to be displayed; the Altitude provides limited synchronous display provided Alt Step left on 1000ft. The FCU Knobs are not animated but functions are provided for rotation, push and pull. The module makes use of a number of extra features provided by FSUIPC7 including WAPI/WASM. These features allow LINDA to access the Lvars and offsets as well Hvar and .EVT events. Users will need to make several changes to their set up to fully exploit these features. Edit FSUIPC-WASM.INI to add the entry LvarScanDelay=x where x is 45 or 60. See FSUIPC7 Advanced User document pg 45. Edit FSUIPC7.INI to add the entry UseAirLocForProfiles=Yes under the [General] block. Ensure block [WAPI] / EnableWAPI=Yes is present in FSUIPC7.INI. The Fenix A320 should display around 2100 and 2200 Lvars and no Hvars. A problem with Lvars will display a Check Lvars message. Any value different from these or the warning will require that MSFS and FSUIPC7/LINDA be restarted. Report any problems and issues on the LINDA Support sub-forum. Download Fenix A320 v0.3 beta SSL List of Fenix A320 Functions NOTE ON LVARS The Fenix A320 is a complex aircraft with a large number of Lvars provided. These exceed the previous version of FSUIPC7 (limit 2044). It is recommended that you use 7.3.6.

This module has been developed for use with the FlyByWire Airbus A32NX Neo running on MSFS 2022. Special thanks to Joe Herwig for his inspiration, initial design and project management for this work. The module requires use with LINDA 4.1.4 and FSUIPC7 7.3.2 or later. It can be used with the Stable (0.7.4), Development and Experimental version from FlyByWire (using the FlyByWire Installer). However, some features are only accessible via the latest Development and Experimental releases. See Note below on Lvars. Due to delays with MSFS exposing Lvars to FSUIPC7 on start-up, it is strongly recommended that you start MSFS2020, load the FBW A32NX ready to fly and wait a minute before starting FSUIPC7 and LINDA. It is also recommended to click Restart LUA Engine as the last thing. Users of previous beta release are advised that a major renaming exercise has been carried out. All functions have been named according to the panel and sub-panel positions plus the role and action. For example, A32nx_OVHD_EXTLT_BEACON_toggle for Overhead Panel, External Lights and Beacon Lights. Users should check all button assignments and reassign as required. A full list of functions is provided via the link below. Default configuration setup files are provided for all VRi MCP panels and CDU2/3. Version 1.0.3 includes the following changes: Rework Transponder/TCAS Switches Fixed InitCustomEvents() operation Added Overhead Crew Only Supply Button Fixed Landing Lights not illuminating Improved VRi FCU Altitude INC/DEC Added Radar PWS Switch Fixed error in VRi FCU Altitude DEC Added missing VRI FCU DspShow calls Development work is ongoing by FlyByWire and every effort will be made to ensure the module supports any updates. At the time of issue, there is one issue outstanding: There is an Issue with MSFS ATC AI which resets the COM1 frequency if changed. It is necessary to turn off ATC AI option as follows: in MSFS go to Assistance Options and Piloting. Turn off AI Radio Comms (ATC). The module makes use of a number of extra features provide by FSUIPC7 including WAPI/WASM. These features allow LINDA to access the Lvars and offsets as well Hvar and .EVT events. Users will need to make several changes to their set up to fully exploit these features. Edit FSUIPC-WASM.INI to add the entry LvarScanDelay=x where x is 45 or 60. See FSUIPC7 Advanced User document pg 45. Edit FSUIPC7.INI to add the entry UseAirLocForProfiles=Yes under the [General] block. Ensure block [WAPI] / EnableWAPI=Yes is present in FSUIPC7.INI. The FBW A32NX should display around 1450 to 1500 Lvars and 220 Hvars. Any value different from these or the warning will require that MSFS and FSUIPC7/LINDA be restarted. Report any problems and issues on the LINDA Support sub-forum. Download FlyByWire A32NX Module 1.0.3 SSL List of FBW A320 Functions NOTE ON LVARS The FBW project is developing all the time with new functionality being continuously added. This means the data used to access the model is also changing with new Lvars being introduced. There are normally in excess of 1300 Lvars used to interface with the A32NX and this can be checked by clicking on the LINDA Tracer link (top left). If you are only seeing around 1000 Lvars not all functionality will be working and some errors may be generated (see LINDA Console or FSUIPC7.log). It is recommended that you try installing the Development or Experimental versions and restart everything. Further details of this project can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/joeherwig/A32nx-LINDA-aircraft-module

I am aware that the links to LINDA downloads has been broken. This was due to the website I host being reused for personal reasons. I am in the process of recovering the broken links but this will be a long process due to the old posts be archived and my need to recreate each post and correct the links. This will be a slow process and I request your patience. It the meantime, the correct download prefix for all zip files is http://www.awginfosys.co.uk/LINDA/Downloads/...... This can be used to modify the existing links. Please note: All modules will be reinstated "as is" with no changes or updates.

LINDA 3.1.1 provides compatibility with the new Prepar3D v4 (P3Dv4) 64-bit flight simulator and all existing 32-bit flight simulators (FSX, FSX-SE and P3Dv3.4). It should installed into the Flt Sim's module folder. Each adult Sim requires its own installation. This version adds the new GSX Library for working with the FSDT GSX2 add-on (lib-GSX.lua v1.3). This release requires a registered version FSUIPC5 5.153 or later to work with P3Dv4. FSUIPC4 4.974 or later is required for other 32-bit Flt Sims (FSX, FSX-SE or P3Dv3.4). LINDA WILL NOT FUNCTION WITH OLDER VERSIONS OF FSUIPC. IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH P3Dv5 OR FSUIPC6. This release provides full support for all existing features including VRi Combo MCP panel operation. Please read the enclosed release notes for all details on new features. Most of the changes are under the bonnet (US hood) based on user feedback: v3.1.1 Fixes to Fault Diagnosis Mode (on Maintenance page). Fixes Splash Screen closure error. Fixes to Edit Aircraft Module. v3.1.0 Internal GUI changes. Added Fault Diagnosis Mode. Improved Module Selection. NOTE - This version allows the old PMDG 737NGX and new PMDG 737NGXu to coexist. Even if you don't own the PMDG 737NGXu, you will need to download the latest version of the old PMDG 737NGX module v4.15 to allow both aircraft to operate correctly. All issues and problems should be reported on the LINDA Support sub-forum. Download: LINDA 3.1.1 Download Release Notes

LINDA 3.3.5 provides compatibility with the new Prepar3D v5 (P3Dv5) 64-bit flight simulator and FSUIPC6 6.1.7 or later. It can also be used with Prepar3D v4.x using FSUIPC6. This update contains ONE fix that not all users will need. See note below. This release requires a registered version FSUIPC6 6.1.7 or later to work. It is no longer compatible with FSUIPC5 or FSUIPC4 and all existing 32-bit flight simulators (FSX, FSX-SE and P3Dv3.4) - use LINDA 3.1.1 instead Changes This release maintains internal changes to support development and distribution. This version provides compatibility with the VRInsight CDU2 and CDU3 panels. Special thanks go to Nicolas Hutter for his inspiration and invaluable contribution for this new CDU development. Otherwise, this version the same functionally as LINDA 3.2.6. The following key changes have been made to the LINDA GUI and core functionality: Fixed issue with configuration file load errors with unexpected symbol (3.3.5). See note below. Fixed issue with Multi Panel Glideslope mode (3.3.4). Fixed issue with Multi Panel Height units in GUI (3.3.4). Fixed FSUIPC version number displayed (3.3.4). Added Extras for creating special aircraft module builds (Developer only) (3.3.4). Added additional error trapping (3.3.4). Added extra error trapping (3.3.3). Added check for Registered copy of FSUIPC (3.3.2). Fixed LINDA sounds (3.3.2). Fixed error loading MCP2 configuration (3.3.1). Added VRInsight CDU2 and CDU3 functionality including presets for most popular Airbus and Boeing aircraft (3.3.0). Added Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and TCA joysticks (3.3.0). ****************************************************************** IMPORTANT NOTICE This release addresses an issue some users have experienced with an error caused by an unexpected symbol found when loading certain configuration file (config-sys.lua and config-hid.lua). The previous fix referred to Language Support and UTF-8. The release may cause some initial errors when LINDA is loaded. Users should check the fsuipc6.log (in LINDA Console) for errors like: [E] ** LUA Error: error loading module 'linda-cfg/system/config-sys' from file ... unexpected symbol near 'i' In such cases should force a save of config-sys.lua by clicking twice on SYNC TO SIM and of config-hid.lua by selecting Joystick page and assigning Do nothing to one empty button and clicking save. This may need to be done for each aircraft used. After these actions users should not experience any further issues. ****************************************************************** Installation The installation differs from previous LINDA versions and care should be used to achieve the correct installation. First install P3Dv5 to a directory of your choice before installing the latest version of FSUIPC6 (version 6.x or later). It is strongly recommended that FSUIPC6 is installed in a root directory, eg: F:/FSUIPC6 You can tick both P3Dv5 and P3Dv4 boxes during the FSUIPC6 installation. There should also be a folder /FSUIPC6 in the Prepar3d v5 add-ons/ folder containing a single add-ons.xml file directed at the installed folder. Un-zip the folder and copy all files and folders into the above folder created above. Answer Yes to all overwrite requests and tick the apply to all boxes. The correct installation should look like: /FSUIPC6 /linda /linda-cfg FSUIPC6.dll FSUIPC6.ini FSUIPC6.key ipcReady.lua linda.exe linda.lua You can copy your existing fsuipc5.ini and rename it fsuipc6.ini. You can also copy your old /linda/aircrafts and /linda-cfg/aircrafts folders with all LINDA settings to the FSUIPC6 folder created above. Similarily, any .MCRO files should be copied into the same FSUIPC6 folder. Limitations This release to provide improved compatibility with FSUIPC6 and P3Dv5. A number of limitations and issues still exist and the cause(s) is being investigated: Some Access Violation error message may be reported if the installation location and files are incorrect. Report the LINDA version and build number (on About page eg. 3.2.1.942) and the error address (eg. 007F7123). Please read the enclosed release notes for all details for correct installation and on new features. All issues and problems should be reported on the LINDA Support sub-forum.

Added VRI CDU functionality (4.1.0). Fixed issue with MCP User Modes and Unlock (4.0.9). Fixed format of FSUIPC version number (4.0.9). Added check for available Custom Events files (4.0.8). Changes to support A32NX module (4.0.8). Fixed issue with FSX Control in Tracer (developer only)(4.0.8). Fixed issue with Tracer Lvars List (developer only) (4.0.7). Added check for registered copy of FSUIPC (4.0.6). Fixed readme.txt being overwritten when Edit Aircraft Module opened (4.0.6). It is not compatible with other flight simulators (FSX or P3D) or earlier versions of FSUIPC. This version provides most functionality with MSFS 2020 and FSUIPC7. Those aircraft that use the WASM interface providing access to Lvars and Hvars, most notably the FlyByWire A32NX. For most other aircraft only LINDA default MSFS library functions can be used. Most original FSX Controls and FSUIPC offsets are available. The Tracer can be used to monitor and modify Lvars values as with previous releases. This version offers ability to trigger Hvars and Events as well as FSUIPC Controls. A new indication has been added to show when LINDA has completed reloading the LUA engine. This appears below the Sync-to-Sim - WAIT while reloading and READY when done. No buttons should be operated until READY is displayed. Previously this was shown on screen but this causes complications with MSFS. Ensure that MSFS 2020 is updated to latest release (1.21.18.0 or later) and FSUIPC7 (7.3.6 or later). LINDA provides full compatibility with all variants of the VRInsight Combo panel: the original MCP1, the Combo II MPC (Boeing) and Combo FCU (Airbus), the VRInsight CDU2/CDU3, and the Logitech/Saitek Flight Panels. Please download and read the Release Notes below. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR VRINSIGHT USERS LINDA 4.0.x now starts with the MCP Display Mode set by the new Mode option on the Setup MCP Combo page. It defaults to Autopilot display mode (AP values for SPD/HDG/ALT/VS are displayed). The Information display mode displays the aircraft current speed, heading, altitude and vertical speed. You need to assign one of the VRInsight library DSPmode functions to switch between INFO and AP (autopilot) modes. All bug and issues should be reported on the project thread on the LINDA Support sub-forum. Installation Unzip the file. Install FSUIPC7 in a root directory and copy the LINDA files and folders into that folder. The correct installation should look like: /FSUIPC7 /linda /linda-cfg FSUIPC7.exe FSUIPC7.ini FSUIPC7.key ipcReady.lua linda.exe linda.lua Starting MSFS, FSUIPC7 and LINDA I have found that the order users start the applications is important to get everything working correctly. Note there is a delay after starting MSFS before the Lvars and Hvars are accessible. Users are referred to the FSUIPC7 for Advanced Users documentation regarding the use of LvarScanDelay= entry for FSUIPC_WASM.INI file. A delay of 45-60 seconds is recommended. It may be necessary to Reload LUA Engine after a couple of minutes. Start MSFS and LINDA first in any order. Once MSFS is running in cockpit mode then start FSUIPC7 ensuring that it displays the title 'FSUIPC7: Simulator is available: Connected". If not Connected, either click on Start/Connect or Options/Auto-connect to FS. LINDA should be Sync-ed to Sim and displaying *MSFS Default" outline in orange. The LINDA LUA engine will automatically restart when the connection is established. FSUIPC7 runs initially in the System Tray. You need to right-click on icon and click Show for the window to be displayed. After you close the FSUIPC7 window you need to Exit the application in the System Tray.
