Before I test WidevieW or purchase, I would like a simple answer. On the client. Using MSFS General Options / Experimental / Add Window to add center, left, right cockpit views. The zoom is set to view just in front of the cockpit. Will WidevieW drive this setup to run the client on the 3 monitors? The 4th monitor is the main MSFS window and the desktop. The PC and graphics card displays 60 fps in this configuration. Your Q&A for WidevieW 2021 discusses setting up the Camera.cfg, changing the Camera 0 definition. Not any other way to configure the client that I have found. Should one use the MSFS windows option or cameras for multimonitor views. Please provide steps to configure multiple monitors on a client or provide specific directions to documentation. It is not obvious in the Q&A or the User's Guide. Thanks

I want to use the Carendo 390 with my P3DV4.5 Cockpit. Can anyone tell me if one can view the code of the gauges to determine the communication between gauges. LVARS, FSUIPC offsets, etc. Don't want to pay $40 if I can't use it in an Arduino and Saitek based cockpit.

Holy Crow guys, it's not that expensive and flies great in P3D. Too much complaining.

Does anyone know how to interface the gauges with hardware. Yes FSUIPC can update specific sim variables. Does the Nextgen CJ4 V2 have published LVARS? Or FSUIPC Offsets. I want to use it with P3D V4 and a home built Lear 45 cockpit.

Flight Deck Solutions builds products for the Bombardier Lear 45XR. The FMC is different from the Boeing FMC. 5 left right buttons instead of six.

An item still eludes me. I've been searching the internet all day. Linda's folders contains two FSUIPC texts - variables in alphabetic order, in numeric order,. Numerics used in Lua functions all over. All numerics seem to be 60000 and up. For the life of me, I can't find the correlation between the offset and the numeric control. Hex to decimal doesn't seem to work. I would like to react FSUIPCs offset description thru the alphabetic to numeric Linda list.

Thanks, When connected via USB, P3DV4.5 to Linda via FSUIP6 it stops blinking. Weird. I have other questions about VRIinsight MCP II. Should I ask them here or in another post/tread?

I am fighting to get P3DV5.2 up and operating. Obviously I can't install FSUIP6 or LINDA. I am building a Lear 45 cockpit and using the MCP. While trying to figure out P3D, I started powering panels. When I add power to the MCP, the leds blink quite quickly. The USB is not attached. Is this normal?

VRinsight - MCP II 2 Questions: 1. What is the function of the AUX button in the COMM section? 2. I read the radio functions are hard wired. Can one change the radio buttons?

I have looked and looked but I cannot find the Function for turning the LEDs on and off (LAMP button). I would like to turn on the LEDs and leave them on. Currently the lamp button doesn't toggle, the LEDs light only when the button is held in.

With your help, I solved it. I went to the FDTI site as you recommended. https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm I downloaded the Windows 10 Installation Guide and Setup Executable for the driver (rather than manual install). Read the guide and followed the instructions (the above are under the column Comments on the Windows row). The MCP II device was listed as COM3 in the USB Serial Port in the USB devices. I started Linda and the port wouldn't change from COM1 to COM3. I entered FSUIPC6.ini and below [LINDA] was [VRInsight]. Under there, 1=COM0 and 2=COM1 were listed. I deleted the COMs and entered 1=COM3 (as listed in VRSim). Opened P3D V4.5 then Linda, started the Lear 45XR aircraft at the end of the runway. Everything worked fine. Wondering if VRI's MCP can be interrogated? A friend has written an app for the Lear 45 CDU (another built the hardware). The software (in C++) interrogates all open com ports, receives a code from the CDU and connects to that port. Could Linda do that with VRInsight? Thanks for your help.

I have found this site. I'll try it in the morning. Apparently Windows 10 has issues with USB to Serial Com. The driver on my machine is 2016 and is the latest from Microsoft. The attached URL uses a driver that costs ~$130. There are other solutions presented. I'll use the steps presented below and use the FDTI driver you recommended. As a last resort, I'll buy the driver below. https://www.virtual-serial-port.org/articles/com-port-on-windows-10/#native PS - The machine I am using to test is refurbished with pre-loaded Windows 10. Knowing these issues, I wouldn't have bothered you. I'll keep you posted.

Right now I found the FDTI driver. In a little while I will install, check Windows 10 and try again. My gut tells me it's Win 10 and an incompatible driver either on Win 10 or VRI side. I'll let you know. I'll do some Windows diagnostics and event determination. The dings occur on both the insert and removal of the USB cable with the port.

I'm in a Drs office right now. I will uninstall VRSim when I get back and follow your input. Let you know.

Well, the Disengage is off, both displays show the startup message. Installed VRSim and ran it. No device could be found. VRSim installed a new driver during installation. Prior to removing Test and installing VRSim, hidden device showed COM 1 which I put in LINDA. The device manager showed no device connected. LINDA showed VRInsight OK in green. Now, no COM/PORT devices are shown at all. VISIT shows no devices. Have not gotten anywhere near connecting to P3D V4.5 FSX at all. Any advice at all? Seems a Windows 10 issue. I contracted VRInsight but all the sent was directions to install their recent software.
