softth May i ask why you didnt make it with softth. In one of your threads you said softth works far better , better fps and it allows for multiple monitors with diffrents sizes. I also have some problems with eyefinity when enabled with more monitors it starts to flicker on one monitor so i tought maybe with softth that problem would be resolved because of the low frame rate. Let me know what you think Regards clyber

Yesssssss thats it finally thx peter tomorrow ill start with it

Hello, How r u now. Yeah i know what i want even though you made it hard for me with those diffrent options. I need the first option : 3 x portrait and the rest Helios. Especially because my monitors r fixed in my simpit i cant turn them any more for lets say the second option. the thirth option would be nice because here i would use the original DCS cockpit instead of Helios but i want the controle panels to be steady instead of moving around when i turn my head. and i guess when using Hud view only mode the cockpit panels would not be available. maybe in the future i can use this it could be very handy when having problems with Helios. the fourth option looks like the first . correct me if iam wrong but i guess the diffrence is helios is included in the three main screens. this is not that i want. the fifth is no option. So ill go with the first. i have some pics of my simpit i can send you but only in your pm. if you want to have a better understanding of my setup.

Ohh thx for your reply Thats fine do your thing man next week is okey at least i know now what is going on. Take care Regards Clyber

Monitor Setup Hello Now this was the reason why i also leave pm,s for you because for days ive send you an new thread but no response so iam not sure if you know i posted you the new info or maybe you got mad for some reason or maybe your too busy i understand your a busy man but can you pls let me know if this info was sufficient or if i miss something pls ? Iam still waiting for you i ve tried to give as much info as i could i hope you understand also that i cant provide all the info as i dont have helios ready yet i dont have the layout finished i am working on it but not done yet. i tought most important would be to know that DCS should span across the first 4 monitors the rest i thought wasnt that relevant sinds those have nothing to do with dcs really. But i might be wrong so if you need more info please ask. Tell me how or what info to provide. dont think iam an expert and i should now what info to send coz iam not. with a little guidance tough, i can get that info for you Regards, Clyber

I know your not going bannanas man i was just kidding.

Relax man like i said iam nw here and didnt know you would receive an notification if i send a thread here on the forum so to make sure i send you a pm no need go bannanas ill keep it in mind. Anyway ... yeah i can turn those screens around no problem i tought you wanted me to turn them just to get eyfinity working Like i said i got it working in portrait mode all ready i just needed to attach the first 2 monitors and than he last monitor when initiate Eyefinity not all three at once and i used a passive kable type instead of all 3 active mini displayport to dvi but those problems were solved now i have it all in portrait using eyfinity Mode But if You want me to turn those screens like your example [ 3 monitors 90 deg. And Monitor 4 on top of monitor 5] thats fine but why ?.. and what next coz its difficult working like that hahahaha.

Multiple monitors Hello, No matter what i try i cant get the monitor setup as how i want it to be.

Hello

Hey Guys, Is there any one there who know his way arround Helios ? I need to know how to insert a copy of the DCS Black Shark cockpit in the Helios Profile editor to make it as realistic as possible. dont want to use Helios Stock items. First i need a way to extract a copy of the cockpit from the DCS KA-50 game ...but what tools do i use to do this ? Because the animation feature must be kept to work in Helios. [ must still be able to flip a switch etc etc ] Now I ve heard i can use Dtxbmp - Modman and a Photo editor to edit the CDDS Cockpit files. I explored with the modman cdds explorer but the cockpit parts and panels are shuffeled and some i cant recognise. and after extracting and pasting the textures they turn to be static. Is there someone out there who knows how i can cut pieces of the DCS KA 50 cockpit with clickable feature to pate it in Helios. Regards Clyber

Hello All, I am so getting hopeless with this issue coz my plan was to add 2 keyboards to Black Shark I have tried that HID Macro program but i have a few problem with it. It seems i can create a macro but i cant assign it to a certain /random button. then i have noticed that the Program (HID Macro) doesnt record the macros as it schould. lets say Shift + 1 this is the macro for the PRTZ datalink button (1) Target Vehicle but the Application records Shift + 1 ... as ! Exclamation mark. DCS doesnt know this command. I also tried to check in the Game controle panel if i could see the second keyboard but no luck. coz on the controle panel you can assign one feature to diffrent controllers even to a mouse i've noticed. do you have a solution for me ?? Gr Clyber

I have trackir but made sure the F8 key is not configured. Maybe i was wrong i tought F8 [enemy view] is the function / key for a picture in picture film of the target i have locked on. Check This link [[ ] ] I tought for this function i needed to press the F8 Target vieuw key. I want to activate this feature annyone who knows how to do this ??? Gr Clyber. Buy the way thanx for your reply you guys i really appreciate it.

Is there anny one who can help me out here ? The F8 button is suppose to be the Target view key, but when i hit it after locking the target with my Skval nothing happens. I have no functions assigned to this key so i should work. Can anny one help me out ??
