  1. NOTE: The following is likely of interest only to add-on developers, freeware or payware. As many (most) of us now know, P3D v3 has set up an system of configuration files where they encourage us to place our add-on products. Moreover, they have even provided command line parameters we can use to automatically add our new paths to these various configuration files! Sweet! Unfortunately, the SDK documentation is just as opaque as any such has ever been... Since I had to do this anyway, I've put together a simple batch (.bat) file that will do all the work for you. All anyone needs to do is edit this file to update the drive letter, path, title, etc. to suit their own needs. This batch file will first make backup copies of these config files: simobjects.cfg effects.cfg fonts.cfg gauges.cfg sound.cfg I suggest that this should probably be removed from the .bat file before using it in your installers. I only used them while I was testing just to verify that I had all of the parameters correct! All new entries are made at the TOP of the existing config files, so whatever is in those new folders will be seen "first" before P3D v3 looks at its default folders. Here then is my batch file: echo :: Make backup copies of P3Dv3's .cfg files CD \ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 Copy simobjects.cfg simobjects_back.cfg Copy effects.cfg effects_back.cfg Copy fonts.cfg fonts_back.cfg Copy gauges.cfg gauges_back.cfg Copy sound.cfg sound_back.cfg :: Add new path to simobjects.cfg file CD \Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 Prepar3D.exe "-Configure: File=SimObjects, Operation=Add, Path=D:\MilvizProducts\SimObjects\Airplanes, Title=Milviz Airplanes, Required=True, Active=True" :: Add new path to effects.cfg file CD \Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 Prepar3D.exe "-Configure: File=Effects, Operation=Add, Path=D:\MilvizProducts\Effects, Title=Milviz Effects, Required=True, Active=True" :: Add new path to fonts.cfg file CD \Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 Prepar3D.exe "-Configure: File=Fonts, Operation=Add, Path=D:\MilvizProducts\Fonts, Title=Milviz Fonts, Required=True, Active=True" :: Add new path to gauges.cfg file CD \Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 Prepar3D.exe "-Configure: File=Gauges, Operation=Add, Path=D:\MilvizProducts\Gauges, Title=Milviz Gauges, Required=True, Active=True" :: Add new path to sound.cfg file CD \Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 Prepar3D.exe "-Configure: File=Sound, Operation=Add, Path=D:\MilvizProducts\Sound, Title=Milviz Sound, Required=True, Active=True" pause
  2. Hello, I'm Brazilian and I'm having difficulty installing SP2, because my FSX is translated into my native language, I need someone to make me back up the files in English. If anyone could help me, I would be grateful.
  3. Hello, I have a problem with the TCAS. Since a few days ago I alway see some "planes" around me on the TCAS. But there are none. They are either always around me in about 1 mile distance or they are jumping around on the ND. It's really annoying especially on short final.
  4. So i was getting ready to fly from ESSA- Arlanda to OMDB-DUBAI. I had school the day later, so i enabled the "pause at TOD." I was about half the way when i went to sleep. The next morning i was cheking if everything was doing ok, i then started planning my decent and i noticed that the buttons wassn't working. The sim had been on pause for a long time, i don't know if that can have something to do with it. Cheers Vetle. :)
  5. Hi everyone, I'm quite new to the forums, therefore I would like to apologize in advanced if this subject is posted in the wrong thread. I'm in a bit of a bind here. My dad's credit card that I use for online purchases has been blocked because someone had created a Simmarket account using my email to purchase an addon. Luckily it was only one item. However, this is still a very serious matter as the perpetrator may purchase more things under my email in the future. Do any of you guys know of any way to contact the Simmarket team via email or forums? I want to resolve this issue as fast as I can. Thanks.
  6. Now a few hours into the V4 development stream. I have to say, that the method of installing addon packages into the Documents folder and P3D looking them up automatically is really awesome! No need to fiddle with any of the config files or to copy content into central folders. Unless of course that is the point of your addon, like automated gauge installers, addons altering the aircraft.cfg etc. Those should take care to check the encoding. btw. an addon package allows for absolute paths too, so a scenery or aircraft developer could let the user choose the installation path at will while still retaining the add-on.xml file in the proper place. Prepar3D will then discover the addon automatically (it will be interesting to see how this will affect load times, if you really have A LOT of addons in there). Any user can create such an add-on.xml himself too, thus avoiding to screw up the scenery.cfg. I think that this calls for a new type of scenery addon manager app... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on"> <AddOn.Name>MySceneries</AddOn.Name> <AddOn.Description>My sceneries that are already installed.</AddOn.Description> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Scenery</Category> <Path>G:\OldSceneries\MyOldScenery01</Path> <Name>Scenery01</Name> </AddOn.Component> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Scenery</Category> <Path>G:\OldSceneries\MyOldScenery02</Path> <Name>Scenery02</Name> </AddOn.Component> </SimBase.Document> http://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv4/LearningCenter.php -> SDK -> Add-ons -> Add-on Packages Best regards
  7. PMDG, Is it possible for you to design 747-400 SAA livery for South African virtual pilots? It will be much Appreciated Hennie Britz

  9. Hello forum members, I want to ask if I'm doing something wrong here with the speed... or is that normal? As in the following image you can see what I mean. Thanks in advance, I'd be glad if someone wants to help me here. MIQUEL
  10. Here is what we currently know about Microsoft's new Flight Simulator. Anything else unless vetted is merely here say. This topic is strictly for listing what we know will be a part of the new sim. No Discussions of what we want or need. Posts not conforming will be deleted.
  11. Hello, i have tried F9 but it didnt work. My view can only see the top of the cockpit and not the thing to pull up/control i have to keep pressing A to see things but still cant find the pull up thing.
  12. Introduction MSFS 2020 is a completely different beast than previous flight simulators like FSX and P3D. The interface for add-ons and accessories like LINDA has been reworked making it not an easy job to interface with. Thanks to the development of FSUIPC7 and the WASM module, LINDA is able to regain most of its original functionality. However, additional set up actions are required by users to ensure correct operation. Previous knowledge of setting up LINDA does not always apply and can be counter productive. These notes are provided to guide LINDA users to gain a reliable installation. Lvars, Hvars and Events Previously, FSX/P3D made use of Lvars, Controls and Offsets that allowed LINDA to interface with the Flight Simulator via FSUIPC. These are still available but the use of Lvars has subtly changed with MSFS. In addition, FSUIPC7/WASM introduce Events in the form of Hvars and .EVT files. Events are used to trigger actions within the simulator (eg. pressing a button). Lvars are not immediately released by MSFS to FSUIPC7 on start up. It is necessary to start MSFS and load the chosen aircraft ready to fly. The number of Lvars that can be read is limited to 3066 (in FSUIPC7 7.3.6). With some aircraft this number can be exceeded and cause problems with certain sophisticated aircraft (eg. Fenix A320). A LvarScanDelay= parameter is provided to delay the search for available Lvars (see below). When changing between different aircraft additional actions may be necessary to flush old Lvars. Hvars are provided in .hvar files in the HvarFiles folder in /FSUIPC7. These have the prefix H:. The Hvars are matched to the loaded aircraft by string match based on the aircraft name (eg. FBW A32NX matches to A32NX FBW.Hvar). Events are provided in .EVT files in /FSUIPC7. These files are indexed in FSUIPC7.INI and are referenced by the order and list of events. These files are installed with the LINDA aircraft module if required. Lvar/Hvar Count The number of Lvars/Hvars accessed by FSUIPC7/LINDA gives a good indication that everything should work correctly. The Lvars/Hvars count for each aircraft are: Fenix A320 should display around 1770 to 1870 Lvars and no Hvars. FBW A32NX should display around 1450 to 1500 Lvars and 220 Hvars. PMDG 737 should display 1800 to 1900 Lvars and no Hvars. A problem with Lvars will display a Check Lvars message. Any value different from these or the warning will require that MSFS and FSUIPC7/LINDA be restarted (see below). Installation Guidelines The latest version of FSUIPC7 (currently 7.3.6) should be installed using the Install FSUIPC7 executable. It is installed in a /FSUIPC7 folder ideally in a root directory. You must have a full paid registered copy and remember to click Register button during installation. You also need to select the install WASM module option during installation. The WASM module is installed in the MSFS /Community fsuipc-lvar-module folder - the FSUIPC_WASM.ini file can be found in this folder (more later). LINDA 4.1.x is installed into /FSUIPC7 by dragging and dropping the LINDA.EXE and other files/folders into /FSUIPC7. There are a limited number of LINDA aircraft modules available for MSFS (FBW A32NX, Fenix A320 and PMDG 737). These should be installed using the LINDA Maintenance function as follows: Click Maintenance. Under Import Aircraft Module click Select Source Folder. Navigate to the downloaded module folder. This displays the module name and version. Click Install/Overwrite button. Additional Settings Some additional settings are need to get everything working. Locate the MSFS /Community folder (C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\ for MS Store installation). Open FSUIPC_LVAR_MODULE folder and edit FSUIPC_WASM.INI. Add these lines: LvarUpdateFrequency=6Hz RemoveLvarsWhenParked=No UseAirLocForHvars=No LvarScanDelay=60 Edit the FSUIPC7.INI file in /FSUIPC7 and add the following line to the [General] block: UseAirLocForProfiles=Yes and ensure that the [WAPI} block is added: [WAPI] EnableWAPI=Yes Starting Everything It is strongly recommended that you start MSFS, load the desired aircraft ready to fly and wait a minute before starting FSUIPC7 and LINDA.You should also click Restart LUA Engine as the last thing. Ensure that the correct aircraft appears in the top box outlined in orange. When everything is running, you can check that the Lvars, Hvars and Events are loaded by selecting LINDA Tracer. The number of Lvars is displayed in top left corner (under Lua Variables). For Fenix A320 this should read around 2177/2177. The Hvars are listed under the Hvars tab (top right). Only the FBW A32NX uses Hvars and 220/220 should be listed. Each .EVT file is listed under the Events tab. Changing Aircraft Should you experience issues when changing aircraft I have found the following procedure resolves issues with the visibility of Lvars. Open MSFS and load new aircraft. Start FSUIPC7 and LINDA. In FSUIPC7 window click Add-ons / WASM / Reload. In FSUIPC7 window click Add-ons / WASM / List Lvars. Close and restart everything. Performance Experience with FSUIPC7 / WASM / LINDA has shown some impact on performance compared to previous versions. For example when a button is first pressed there can be a slight delay before that operation is passed to LINDA for action. Subsequent presses tend to be actioned more quickly. Reporting Issues and Problems Should you experience problems please carefully read and follow the Fault Diagnosis Procedure (under LINDA Support). Then email the fsuipc7.log and linda2.log to me at linda @ awginfosys dot net. Include these configuration files if they relate to a problem with your joystick or VRI MCP setup: /linda-cfg/aircrafts/{your aircraft}/config-hid.lua and config-mcpX.lua renaming the extension to .txt.
  13. Can you please advise how I can obtain download to allow installation of 737MGX onto FSX Steam?
  14. Greetings from Colombia, new user here. I have recently bought the Steam Edition Carenado C90b, and overall I think it is a good model but I've had a couple of issues that are bothering me. When I climb to a cruise altitude, or during the cruise climb, my EFIS screen will shut down (It shows as if I've just started the EFIS) and all the lights in my announciator panel will illuminate. This happens every time I climb into a cruise altittude, for example: 15000 ft. The other problem, is that the GEN TIES wont close. doesnt matter how hard I trie, but the switch wont go into the CLOSED position. Any Ideas?
