As Scott is no longer developing LINDA I wonder if there is any solution to fixing the radio tuning panel part of the VRInsight MCP Combo (I have v1) to support VATSIM's new 8.33 kHz spacing of the radio frequencies? Can it be found and fixed in the lua files somewhere? I'll try and look myself, but just wondering if other people have already done that... I love my MCP Combo - it's just too bad the software support for it is so bad...! 😧 UPDATE: I found something in for example LINDA\system\common.lua around line 2710 (Default_NAVCOM_plus) but I don't really know what to do with it...

Original Post from F.Skywalker (moved to LINDA Support) Hi Scotflieger, thanks for the update. I use the MCP1.(orig) After this Update the CRS Knob ist only working on the left side. The right side do not work. my Linda Version (3.4) PMDG NGX works smoother. The syncronisation ist very fast.(3.4) In 4.3 when you turn the HDG, ALT, SPD fast it is not syncron whith the Display. You must make very time a little korrection. CRS work only left, if you press right the diplay says right without work. Sory about my bad englisch. Frank Response Hi Frank Thank you for reporting the issue with the latest module 4.3 with MCP1. I have reproduced your question here for answering your support question. I have compared the code between versions 4.3 and 3.4. Apart from the readability changes, the code for HDG, ALT and SPD are identical and there should not be any difference between the response on your MCP1 (or other panels). I did find the _incfast and _decfast functions too vigorous (changed too fast) and changed the repeat count from 4 to 3. Can you try editing your copy of version 4.3 as follows: In SPD, HDG, ALT _incfast and _decfast functions change: for i = 1, 3 do ipc.control(PMDGBaseVar+???, PMDG_???) end to: for i = 1, 4 do ipc.control(PMDGBaseVar+???, PMDG_???) end The CRS R (FO's course selector) operation will be fixed in the next update.

I have recently answered several queries from owners of the original VRInsight MCP1 panel. They report that LINDA is not working with their MCP1 with advanced aircraft like the PMDG 737NGX and Aerosoft Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321. The reason is twofold. First, the config-mcp.lua file has been generated from the default aircraft configuration for SPD/HDG/ALT and these are not suitable for more complicated aircraft like PDMG and Aerosoft products. You need to go through the specific module menu and assign functions specifically written for your aircraft. Second, because your MCP panel is no longer sold, neither I nor Guenselli, have this panel to create a specific config-lua.default file for MCP1 users. However, I have been working on this problem. Using 2.9.x there is now a method of copying the MCP2 configuration to work with your MCP1 panel. The procedure is as follows: Open LINDA and manually select PDMG737NGX or other aircraft from the dropdown. Go to Setup MCP. Select MCP2(Boeing) and save. Select the Combo MCP page. Click twice on the EFIS Mode 3 tick box at bottom (or make any other change) to highlight save button. Hold down CTRL key and click on SAVE. You will see a confirm message that MCP1 config-hid.lua file has been created. Go to Setup MCP and change back to MCP1 panel and save. Start your flight sim and load the above aircraft. Select FSXSync ON (orange box). You should now have functioning SPD/HDG/ALT knobs and buttons. Please note that not all LINDA aircraft modules will have a config-mcp2.default file. The default aircraft supplied with your flt sim (eg. Beechcraft 58) will work with the default functions included in the default template and the library LIB-FSX Default.
