Yes, no effect! Like I said, the "LINDA Init" appeared on the panel as I loaded the aircraft but no response after that

Hi I have just tried setting up my new MCP2 panel with LINDA with no joy LINDA has been handling my yoke for several weeks and is working fine. I have attached my panel, followed the install instructions (VRiSim then MCP panel installer). I have followed the LINDA instructions (COM3, etc) and LINDA reports all is OK. When I start FSX (or hit "Reload LUA Engine" my panel reachs, displays "LINDA Init..." and then says "ready" The problem is ' there is no further interaction between the panel and LINDA, the LINDA UI does not respond when I press panel buttons, the panel has not updated the mode labels and the panel buttons do not affect the aircraft as per the LINDA setup. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Cheers Rob

Cheers guys I think my slider is calibrated and my mistake was misunderstanding the instrument as KingGhidorah pointed out. Other than that, I think the instructor is simply not that accurate, I can complete the mission quite well but I have to use my own settings and ignore the instructor. His throttle settings were actually very accurate if I used 1 flaps but a later instruction to increase the flaps shows that this was not my instructor's intention. I also think my descent rate was too high (which the instructor neglected to inform me) which changes the correlation between throttle and speed but I then have to ignore the suggested pitch angle. In summary, I think the instructor's comments are probably based on a previous flight model and have not been updated to take into account improvements to the model - I guess re-recording voices is relatively expensive.

Hi Forgive me if this has already been addressed but I've searched and can't find an answer I'm pretty new to FSX and have progressed to Tutorial 8 without too much trouble. Now I'm having a throttle issue with the jet (CRJ700) The N1 thrust never seems to reach the lower limits that I set ,staying at a minimum of around 44% On approach to Glasgow, I'm told to throttle to idle and descend, using approx 7 deg dive to keep speed to 210 kts. As my engines don't drop below 40%, I can't easily achieve 210 kts, then i'm told to decrease speed more and there's nothing to do except nose up. In general the instructors instructions don't correspond to what the aircraft is doing/needs (i.e. increase thrust to keep speed up when I'm already struggling to keep speed DOWN) The required thrust (white triangle) follows my slider setting so I'm sure that the controller is fine. I can actually get the aircraft on the ground in one piece but not in the way my instructor suggests, I feel like I'm in an episode of "Mayday" Am I missing something or is there a bug in the mission.
