Thank you RobJC for your tip, I will then try Pilot2ATC. I have read a lot of positive statements before, but unfortunately I have decided to buy Pro ATC SR, as I thought a new software will be good for sure...my fault. Greetings from Robert!

I think the same like JasonPC, I am very disappointed with Pro ATC SR... The main causes are: - The speech recognition is so bad, that one has to repeat the readback sentence at least 2 - 3 times, sometimes there is no speech recognition at all... - There are no intersection takeoffs, also the taxi routing is not precise and has faults - For me the main reason: the ATC procedures are not real life, e.g.: 1. in the initial contact you always speak the name of the station to be called, then your callsign and then other words 2. there are airports like EDDS where you are not handled over to Radar after takeoff but you contact Radar by yourself after passing e.g. 2000 ft 3. the frequencies are sometimes wrong, e.g. Langen Radar is 125.050 and not 123.55, I have the actual Navigraph AIRAC installed... 4. sometimes silly routing, e.g. following a SID on the correct heading 063° and the controller says turn left heading 255°... I have tried Pro ATC SR now several times, but I have really enough of it...Very sad, because they promise a lot on their homepage. The background chatter is really cool, like in real life, but correct IFR communications are not possible. Finally, I cannot recommend anyone buying PRO ATC SR as long as these faults are so extreme... Perhaps I will try Pilot2ATC or FS Hud...

I have found a solution for the COM1 + COM2 Listen to Audio Toggle Switches: function COM1_RECEIVE_toggle () com2_receive_status = ipc.readUB(0x3122) if com2_receive_status == 164 then ipc.control("66964", 0) else ipc.control("66964", 1) end end function COM2_RECEIVE_toggle () com2_receive_status = ipc.readUB(0x3122) if com2_receive_status == 132 then ipc.control("66965", 1) else ipc.control("66965", 0) end end I was only able to find the offset value for COM2 (0x3122 with 132 = Off, and 164 = On) with LINDA Tracer, but not for COM1 (only God knows about this offset value ;-)). Nevertheless, it makes only sense to deactivate the COM1 Listen mode when COM2 Listen mode is activated before. So with this offset value for COM2 I can manage 2 toggle switches. I am using this code for the Carenado PA44 Seminole GARMIN GMA 340 Audio Panel COM1 + 2 Buttons within MSFS 2020. Keep coding and greetings from Robert!

Thank you very much, I'll do my best and give an update for this COM toggle switch, whenever I find a solution.

Hi! Thanks for your advice, I'll try to figure out how it goes with this offsets...But to be honest, the FSUIPC docs, especially the advanced guide, are didactically not appealing, at least for me. Where would you recommend to read the basics and the usage of offsets with easy examples, this has not to be the original FSUIPC documents? Greetings from Robert!

Hey guys, after searching a lot I still did not find a solution. I would like to read a control event paramater, and depending on this parameter value, I would send an control event. Example: The COM1 audio panel can be selected to On with the Control Event 66964, Parameter 1, and to Off with Parameter 0. What would be the correct syntax for programming? I have used this but it does not work: function COM1_RECEIVER_toggle () COM1_receiver_state = read ipc.control("66964") -> I know this is wrong and I didn't find the correct syntax how to read a parameter of a given control event if COM1_receiver_state == 1 -> if the COM1 Audio is On then ipc.control("66964", 0) -> set COM1 Audio to Off else ipc.control("66964", 1) -> set COM1 Audio to On (if Off before) end So when I assign a button, it should switch the COM1 Audio to On from Off or Off from On, depending on the given state. Off course, the same principle would be for COM 2, so that I can switch them independently On or Off (e.g. COM1 On with ATC, COM2 temporarily On to listen to ATIS, but not deactivating COM1). The COM_RECEIVE_ALL_TOGGLE Event 66465 is not the goal for me as I wish to selectively and independently listen to COM1 and COM2. Off course, this principle would be the same for any MSFS 2020 Control Event with On and Off states and non existing toggle function. Thank you very much for your help and many greetings from Robert!

Hi! It works now like a charm ;-). Thank you for your excellent support, many greetings from Robert!

Hi again! After downloading the e-commerce installer for both GTNs again I get the following message during the installation process: Setup detected an error. The Garmin Trainer installer is missing from either: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\is-8AG00.tmp\GarminTrainerSetup_3000.exe C:\ProgrammData\Reality XP\Common\GtnTrainer\GarminTrainerSetup_3000.exe. So it is still linking to the older trainer. I am looking forward for your help ;-).

Hi, the same problem for me, it is not possible not complete the installation. Via this link http://www.gmaptool.eu/en/content/others-0 I see there is a new GarminTrainerSetup_3010.exe. I suppose the F1 installer has to be updated to link to the latest trainer. If so, when can we expect to download the latest installer? Greetings!

Hi, money is not the issue, but one shall always try to get a good price, no matter what product ;-). I have finally bought the new GNS 430 and 530 V2 panels. The offer with a 50% coupon for the 2nd device was ok for me. I hope when the new G500/G600 PFD/MFD is ready that a bundle will be offered together with the GTN 750/650 devices - a complete package special launch price 😉. Thank you very much and greetings from Robert!

Hi guys, I have finally switched to the MPC II Combo Panel (Boeing). It is indeed much better than the old MCP I panel, particularly the rotary knobs are reliable (better potentiometers used), the button label can be easily changed (individual label between button pin + cover can be placed, no sticking any more labels), the background lighting and display is cool. Indeed, there is no need for a parallel use of 2 MCP panels as one is totally enough. Although this Boeing panel was first designed in 2012 I can recommend it to anyone. There is no other MCP where you can gat so much versatility and flexibility together with a fair price than MCP Combo Panels from VRinsight. Thank you guys and greetings from Robert!

Thank you very much for your replies!! Would it be possible to connect another PC/Laptop via WideFS in the home network and then to connect one MCP combo panel to PC No.1 (e.g. with Prepar3D installation, FSUIPC, Linda + WideFS server) and the other MCP combo panel to PC No.2 (e.g. no Prepar3D installation, just WideFS client + Linda), so that both MCP panels with totally different configuration of buttons and knobs on either PC can act simultaneously on Prepar3D installed only on PC No.1? Or does Linda need an installation of Prepar3D on either PC? Or is Linda not network-compatible? I think this is an interesting constellation when building greater home cockpits with a lot of hardware controllers which are not installed only on one PC with Prepar3D but spread out over several PCs in the LAN, if this is possible at all? If this would be possible, on which PC should be installed what software and how would be the configuration within Linda? Is it possible to spread cockpit modules from an airplane running on Prepar3D installed on PC No. 1 via LAN to another PC, where this module can be visible on another monitor? There is no need for an outer cockpit view on PC No. 2, just the module, let's say one GPS device or a Reality XP GNS 430 V2 device which is controlled via Linda and the second MCP combo panel? Only to clarify it: the goal is not to use more monitors within the LAN for another perspective view within Prepar3D (e.g. with WideView tools), but only to connect more harware controllers over several PCs configured with Linda installed and several instances of Linda running on each PC in parallel, of course with no performance disadvantages on the Prepar3D installation on PC No.1. Many sunny greetings Robert!

Hey guys! My question: would it be possible to connect more than one MCP combo panel, e.g. one MCP combo 1 panel and another MCP 2 combo panel Boeing style (both from VRinsight), simultaneously with Linda and assign each different combo panel different button/knob functions for Prepar3D? Until now I can only choose in the setup for one MCP combo panel, either version 1 or 2 (Boeing or Airbus style), so it is only one panel possible to configure. Especially for simmers who buy (upgrade to) another MCP combo panel (e.g. Boeing style) with a still working MCP combo 1 panel this would be excellent, as it doubles the amount of buttons, displays and knobs. I mean, if it possible to connect several HID/joystick devices with Linda, why shall it not also be possible for MCP panels (no matter if there is only one panel in the airplane)? Better than to throw away a still good working old panel. I think this extension would be a worth look for the next Linda update ;-). And another question: is there a possibility to configure the display output on the MCP combo panel? Thanks in advance for answering my questions. Greetings from Robert!

Hi, is there any way to reactivate the discount coupon for the RXP GNS 540/430 V2 for old customers like me, because unfortunately these customers will NOT invest the same amount of money again for the new version....? I think this is quite an easy decision option for the head of this company ;-). Greetings from Robert!

Hello! Is there any way to upgrade RXP GN S430 V1 WAAS unlimited (for FSX) which I bought some years before to RXP GNS 430/530 V2 (for Prepar3D)? If yes, what will be the price and what are the required steps? Thanks and greetings from Robert!
