Update: Got it working D'oh! I couldn't use my old profiles to test it, and I didn't realize that the new profile I made didn't have the values set correctly. Working fine now!

I was hoping to get back into DCS A10 after a long break, and needed to upgrade DCS World. I was using Helios with 2 monitors before, and not using steam. I have installed DCS World through Steam, made sure it is up to date, and got my monitors displaying correctly. But when I use Helios, my gauges don't move. They display, but nothing actually functions now. I deleted and reinstalled Helios. I made a new profile and added new gauges since my old profiles were for a different monitor setup. I have done "remove setup" and "setup DCS A10" in helios and made sure the path is correct. Ran as admin. What can I do to try to get these gauges working again?

Does anyone have a link to this profile? The forums are currently down.

Thanks again for the help. I already had my MFCD's exported so I just needed to line things up. Took me a few minutes to understand how the binding works, but I did a few gauges and OSB's and they all work! I know what I'll be doing tomorrow :P

Thank you Avilator!

I certainly wouldn't mind a UH60 to play with, but I really feel like the Apache would be the best choice. Give us an AH64!

First of all, is there anywhere I can download Helios from? This link: http://www.scsimulations.com/showgroups.php Has been down for a few days, and with the Hawgtouch page down for now I was worried that maybe Helios is no longer supported as well. After having some issues with Hawgtouch and the last few updates, I wanted to try Helios. I just want to use my MFCD's on my second monitor, and display the CDU and some gauges. Is there any other software for this? I hope this in the right place, mods please move if it's not.

Is HawgTouch still working? I had to reinstall DCS World, and there was an update for A10 since the last time I played. There is nothing in my config/export folder now. I am having the same issue as Cybermann. I tried copying my old DCS World files for the config/export folder and it says the export is outdated, and none of the gauges work. Edit: Found this thread which was helpful: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=102034&highlight=tars+helios After adding a "Scripts" directory in my save game folder, all of the gauges appear to work. In HawgTouch 1.6 if I click anywhere that isn't an assigned button, it says there is an error but I can continue. 1.5 seemed to work fine. Now I need to update all my keys so my buttons work...

Thanks everyone. I didn't change the SU-25T so I should be alright :)

I have 1.2.0.3205 right now, so I understand I need to uninstall to do this upgrade. I recently got all my keys set up for HawgTouch and some changes to my WH HOTAS, is there any way to back these keys up so I don't lose them?

I can't figure it out. My MFCD's work fine with modifiers. My rotary switch works great with one key, but I haven't found a single modifier that works with it. I added commands to the test/showcase profile rotary, and get the same results.

Update: I've tried using existing KeyCommands in the Rotary Switch options, that I know work. So far nothing with a modifier works. I've tried 1.5 and 1.6.

We've all used it on a regular basis since HL2 came out, so that's about 8 years now. Although you seem pretty set on not listening to what anyone else has to say. Not all software works wonders for everyone, but Steam has proven to be a solid means of digitally distributing games. If you don't like it, you don't even have to use it with DCS A10 as others have pointed out.

Still nothing. I tried "g" for one of them and the gear worked, so I must have done something wrong with the commands. It seems like anything with a modifier won't work. I've tried RCONTROL, RALT, LSHIFT - no luck. If I remove a modifer, it seems to work. But I don't have enough keys. <Button> <Name>Right MFCD switch</Name> <Image>\Images\KNOB1.png</Image> <Type>RotarySwitch</Type> <ID>28</ID> <Y>490</Y> <X>50</X> <Options> <Option> <Rotation>70</Rotation> <KeyCommand>{RCONTROL}r</KeyCommand> </Option> <Option> <Rotation>90</Rotation> <KeyCommand>{RALT}r</KeyCommand> </Option> <Option> <Rotation>110</Rotation> <KeyCommand>{RALT}{RCONTROL}r</KeyCommand> </Option> </Options> </Button>

Sorry, but what do you mean by "If you have the graphics for it?" I guess you mean the graphics for the switch, and for now I just used the one from the showcase. I put it over top of the MFCD's, and it moves like it should. However whatever I put in the <Keycommand> line does not work. Any thoughts? It shows up and rotates fine, but it doesn't actually execute the command. I've tried changing the command to make sure it wasn't a modifier that didn't work, but even if I put <Keycommand>R</KeyCommand> it won't do anything. Any thoughts? Thanks for all your help.
