Did you check if simulator arranged some strange button assignments by itself when you plugged the card in for the first time?

Hello everyone, This problem is already noted and solved here: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/454372-linda-conflict-with-leo-bodnar-bu0836x-card/ I experienced similar issue and fixed it with naming cards in LINDA and changing index number as ScotFlieger explained in that topic (thanks for that!). It may also help to use joy letters function in FSUPIC. My cards mixed only once and never more. (But I also avoid to unplugging them, just in case.)

Nope, you can use BBI64 and LINDA will recognize all 64 buttons that you can assign. 😉 Note that buttons 33-64 are available only from LINDA: if you want to use some assignments via FSUIPC or via FSX's control settings, you'll be able to use only buttons 1-32 for that and you still have 33-64 for LINDA. Also, as I said, Win7 will not see buttons 33-64 in it's "game controller settings" - for testing purposes you'll have to use something else. Edit: Maybe it's good to point out that I'm talking about FSUIPC4, I don't know for FSUIPC 5 or 6, Win10 or P3D... but I believe that it can only be better...

Unfortunately I wasn't here earlier to see the topic, but maybe late answer can also help. The problem cristian320 described is caused by loss of contact from one of decoder's two outputs: if you connect only one output and the ground, decoder rotation will "push" buttons paired to decoder at BBI card alternately. The output wires should be checked - something is not connected well. (From my experience: the problem is always with the last connection that you check...) It is also important to be very careful with detecting which of three pins at the decoder is common one (this one should be connected to BBI's ground pin; it is not always the middle one) - if it is mixed, the result is also strange. Edit: Oh, yes, of course, BBI's inputs has to be paired for decoder through bbi-config utility, the card doesn't recognise decoder automatically. With this preconditions, LINDA works wery well with BBIs and decoders.

Hello everyone! I can confirm from my own experience that LINDA can see and use more than 32 buttons per HID device, for example 64 buttons with Leo Bodnar's BBI64. If you combine BBI32 with special Bodnar's BBI12 rotary switches you can even use 128 "buttons" with BBI32! (Switches with 12 positions.) Note that in Win7 “Game Controller Settings” you can see maximum of 32 buttons on HID device, it doesn’t mean that other buttons are not available, they are just not visible there. (I’m using Pointy’s Joystick Test instead.)
