When using the Tracer unit to search for Lvars I stop watching any not required and click Save watching list, thus presumably, saving the list somewhere. I go out of LINDA and return later. After starting the Lvar list I click Restore watching list but it does not stop the scrolling Lvar list and just comes up with an error mesage "List index out of bounds(1396)". Has anybody else had this happen or is there a way of getting round this problem

Thank you for your quick reply and understand what should happen but it has not answered my problem about where these corrupted files come or came from. I have looked at the config-hid files again and have made the following observations I can confirm that the config.hid file in linda-cfg\system does contain the Bodnar card's serial number at line J[4][8]. I can also confirm that every time LINDA is started, another config-hid file is generated with a date/time added to the file name such as "config-hid-1607252047.lua" and I now have 24 of these in that folder as well as the normal config-hid file which is always the same as the last date time file . If you look at the config-hid file in linda-cfg\aircrafts\{my aircraft} the serial number ofthe Bodnar card does not appear to be shown. Below is the first five lines of a card showing the start of the assignment list. -- ## 6F B39442 BBI-32 ## (1DD211400) ## {NoSerNum} ############ JSTK["1DD211400"][1]="FSX:_ZOOM_IN:0" JSTK["1DD211400"][2]="FSX:_ZOOM_OUT:0" JSTK["1DD211400"][3]="Panel_Light_Dome_On" The serial niumber is shown but only because I have included it in the name of the card for my reference purposes. Does this missing serial number have any effect on my problem and why do I have multiple config-hid files being formed in both \system and \aircraft sections of lind-cfg.

Where does LINDA obtain the button assignments for the attached HIDs when it is started. I have six Leo Bodnar cards in my setup. When LINDA is started two of the cards and button assignments always appear correctly. The same two pairs of the remaining four always start with the button assignments appearing for the wrong one of each pair. That is, if we call these four cards in question A,B,C,D the the button assignment for card A is always attached to card B with B's buttons attached to card A. Similarly for cards C and D. The config-hid files for both linda/aircraft and linda-cfg/aircraft show the correct assignments with all the correct serial numbers and LINDA ID numbers for all six cards. Also the Joystick setup shows all the correcr numbers for each card. I am using the latest LINDA version 2.8.3 which was upgraded from version 1.1.3. Thanks for any help available

I am using version 1.1.3 at the moment and, yes, I am referring to the right-click pop up menu. I tried version 2.5.7 but had a problem using Tracer which I reported and am now waiting for the next finished version to be distributed.

While using LINDA Editor to write several instructions I tried to ease the job by trying to highlight an instruction and use the copy/paste system. I was allowed to highlight the instruction and bring up the copy/paste sub menu. However, when I clicked on copy, a LINDA error message appeared on the screen producing continuous images with a bleep each time and I could not stop them. I had to reboot the computer to close LINDA and remove the multiple messages and images. The message was "Access violation at address 00405B16 in module "linda.exe". Read of address 000028EC". Have you come across this before. I don't mind one error message if I do something wrong but this multiple repetition seems a little over the top.

Thank you for your reply. Do you have any idea when the next release will be?

I've just started using LINDA2.5.7 after upgrading from earlier version and am having a problem with the Tracer window. I can open the window and obtain the Lvars list but when I click "Start All" to begin the trace, the program stops and I get an error message "Range check error". The Editor and Console sections are working correctly. Has anybody else come across this or found a way round? I am running on Windows 7 64 bit with FSX and Linda on their own drive "D" separate from the system drive "C".

Thanks for the help. I think I have it sorted now. The two shift ranges accessed by the Saitek mode switch can only be used by the Saitek Yoke and not by any of the other devices (Leo Bodnar button boxes) that I have connected. In order to access a shifted position on the other devices I will have to use the GLOBAL shift instruction and then will only have access to the Shift 1 button positions on the other devices. In order to have two shift positions available on each device I will have to allocate switches on each device to choose shift 1 or shift 2 or unshifted. If this is correct, I would like to ask if there is any possibility, in the future, of having two Global shift choices so that there would only be need for one shift choice button for a number of devices instead of each device needing a shift choice as at present.

I have already programmed the three pages as you requested but when I move the Saitek mode switch to shift 1 or shift 2 the page does not change and stays in unshifted mode. The only way to get to a shifted page is to use the mouse and click in either of the two shift boxes at the top of the page using the mouse. If I then move the mode switch to unshift, the page stays in shifted mode until I click the box with the mouse.

I have loaded up Linda 2.5.7 (following instructions) and now see the mode switch showing as buttons 9,10, and 11 on the Saitek Yoke page.. I have programmed buton 9 as Shift 1, 10 as Unshifted, and 11 as Shift 2. However, when I move the Yoke Mode from 2 to 1 i.e. going from Unshift to shift 1, nothing happens. The Yoke page does not go to the Shift 1 page and neither do any of the other joystick pages change (I have three Bodnar button boxes set up in the system). The only way to move to a shifted page is to use the Global shift instruction and then I can only access the Shift 1 page. Is this normal or do I need to do something else to make it work. Scott says something about Global shift needing two presses of the button in a previous topic but how can this be done with a switch similar to the Saitek Mode switch which is just a three position switch ON-ON-ON.
