Thanks so much for the info. Very informative and helpful.

I noticed on the airport schematics that there are triangles to aid in approaches to the airport. I'm kinda confused as to where to get the coordinates for these triangles. For example in the attached pic I've highlighted / circled one of approach triangles. Which coordinates listed on the diagram page apply to this approach triangle. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance. null

never mind....I figured it out. I went into the mission editor and made sure I selected the nvg option.

I tried "Right Shift+H" and nothing happened. Maybe I don't have NVG installed? Is it a Mod? Thanks in advance

Awesome. Will do. thanks for sharing.

No. the heading was entered under CRS as shown in pic.

Thanks for the replies. I know the ILS is on the correct freq from the info on the map (F10). I also know it is the correct freq because it is the same one used in the DCS ILS training video. In the screen shots you can see I'm using the same freq as the training video. I'm also coming in on the same approach heading as the video. As far as being in the correct mode, I am seeing the ILS bars appear on the HUD so that tells me that the ILS is on and looking for a signal. Lastly, it was just a free flight with no threats or damage to the aircraft. I'll try the headwind thing and see if that works. Thanks again for the replies!

I'm a bit frustrated. After watching the online videos about using the ILS in the viper I can't replicate the results. I feel I've setup up everything correct but the ILS won't come to life. I've attached 2 pictures. One from the DCS video and one from my system. I'm on approach to McCarren and the ils bars are "dashed" and not responding. The ILS shows on, the freq is set to McCarren ILS. I know I'm missing something but not quite sure what. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I did a full blown reinstall of windows and Helios now works! However, after loading Loz's A-10 profile I couldn't get the binding working to my gauges. For some reason the export.lua file wouldn't work. Finally after reading alot of forum post's I tried using the export.lua from Capt Zeen's web page and boom! The gauges started working just fine. Hope this helps anyone who has the same problem.

I have 4 monitors setup with a resolution of 7680 x 1080. The main view is 5760x1080 with Helios using the other 1920x1080. When DCS world 1.5 boots up the splash screen takes up the entire 5760x1080. As I tweak controls, modules, options from the start screen, I have to move my mouse across the entire 3 screens to access all the menus. Does anyone know of a way to control the resolution of only the splash/startup screen (i want to set it to only 1 screen at 1920x1080) leaving the other resolutions in tact? Thanks!

I've come to love Helios and won't fly without it. My old Acer touchscreen broke so I bit the bullet and bought a new one for approx $350. I then upgraded my computer will new M/B, ram, and cpu. I installed a fresh copy of windows 10, installed all the windows updates and video drivers for my GTX 980i. Now Helios won't work. The editor won't even start. The Control center launches, then crashes. I've read as many of the posts as possible and tried solutions that worked for others. But I have yet to find success. Can anyone offer ideas of possible things to try? Is anyone aware of any incompatible elements of windows, direct X, Nvidia or anything else that could be causing the crash? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ok. I'll give that a try

I've been playing around with my snap views and default 13 view settings by tweaking sever.lua snapviews.lua In the process I have lost the ability to use Rctrl + Rshift + num(x) manuver the camera around the cockpit. I still can use the numkeys to look around. Am I missing a setting somewhere? attached are my files I've been using: Also, where can I download the these files so I can restore to the original config condition. Thanks so much. Server.lua SnapViews.lua SnapViewsDefault.lua

I want to program my TM Warthog joystick so that when the shift lever + DMS up command is pressed (the shift lever will be a modifier), the result would emulate a keyboard F12 key. What I'm trying to do is to use my hotas to center my trackIR. However, with DCS, there is no "center TrackIR" built into the commands available to program. I was hoping I could do this within the DCS software. Thanks for any help.

Thanks so much. I can't thank you enough for the help you gave me by sending me your design. It was such a fun project.
