Hi guys, I recently tried to get my VRinsight equipment up and running again. Unfortunately the CDU II is not displaying (the screen) anything, not windows or FSX in the sim. The odd thing is, the VRsim program (that connects the hardware to the sim) shows the CDU II as a usable device and I tested the CDU II with the NGX and the buttons on the physical CDU hardware, interface fine and work with the FMC display in game, so I know that the keyboard/USB portion of the CDU II is still functioning. Whats left is the display is black, as in the monitor won't show any video. So I have tried a few things: I thought maybe the VGA cable was the issue, so I borrowed a friends VGA cable, no luck. I thought the graphics card was the issue, updated all the drivers, rolled back. no luck With my main monitor, I took out the DVI cable, and connected the main monitor (an HP) to my GPU with the same VGA cable. Monitor worked fine with the VGA cable, so the cable is good. Tried to connect the CDU VGA cable to the DVI input in my GPU (with the VGA-DVI converter) and no luck. The CDU's power cable: I have tested it with my VRinsight MCP, and the power cable provided power to the MCP panel. Power cable is fine. (the CDU and MCP cables have the same voltage) Also, the CDU II is recognized as an "analog" display. The computer recognizes the monitor, but for some reason no video shows on the physical CDU II screen. I had this working last year, and installed it the same way this time, and followed the VRinsight CDU II manual to the letter. No luck. I should add: This CDU worked 100% on my previous graphics card, my GTX 560, last year. I recently downgraded to a GT 730 (560 fried), so I am not sure how that would affect the video portion of it. Switched to windows 10 a few weeks ago. The CDU worked great on windows 7. Also not sure what affect that would have. All other PC hardware from last year to now = no change. My biggest fear is that the monitor/screen on the CDU II is somehow broken. Sorry for the long post, and thanks to anyone who can provide any input of some kind. I really do appreciate it. Kind Regards Chris Kennedy -
Hello All, I am having a nagging issue with my VRInsight CDU II, which looks like other folks have had it as well. In a review post, the author noted "The only remark I have here is that the CDU II sometimes sends double inputs to the pc upon pushing a button only once. Sometimes annoying, but nothing terrible." Here's a link to a YouTube video showing it happen. At 2:13 (ish), you will see the user enter "LFMP", but it puts two L's in place. This also happens with the CLR and DEL keys, which you can understand why THAT gets a bit difficult for someone, especially a newbie at working with the PMDG 737 NGX FMS like me. http://youtu.be/aLjFdRGudXl?t=2m13s Also, here is the review I refer to earlier in the post: http://www.simflight.com/2012/08/12/vr-insight-cdu-ii/ Has anyone else seen this, or found a resolution to the issue? Best Regards, Brad -
I am a HUGE fan of Linda, and in the past, Linda got along just great with VRInsight's VRiSim software and Serial Port drivers. However since getting the latest and greatest from VRinsight website, all of a sudden, Linda stops working (the key assignments on my WARTHOG throttle stop functioning! Puzzle: 1. Start FSX - Linda autostarts with FSX 2. Select default airplane PMDG 737NGX and default location KLAX airport ramp C8 3. Show FMC on Virtual Cockpit and open a Seperate undocked FMC window 4. Start VRinsight's VRiSim software to control the VRI CDU-II and V737 Overhead units. 5. Linda controls the VRI MCP-combo II plus the Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG throttle/joystick combo 6. Latest version of FSUIPC 4.853 is installed 7. Initialize the PMDG 737NGX from cold & dark using V737 Overhead and CDU-II 8. Commence flight operations During flight, without warning LINDA will suddenly stop responding. I have to forcibly restart linda and even then the results on my Thrustmaster equipment are not 'instantaneous' or immediate. This tells me something must be conflicting with the Serial Port that the MCP Combo II is on (this is my guess). While nothing new has been plugged in or removed during flight, I can count on this pheonomenon recurring, multiple times during a flight. Something is wrong, and I have no clue how to fix it. Any suggestions from Linda team gratefully accepted! Robert
