    Capt Zeen P-51D and TF-51D Helios Profile ! ! !

    in PC Hardware and Related Software

    Posted

    Nice work, thank you! I'm hoping to try this profile out over the weekend.

     

     

    Excuse my ignorance but is this so you can have all the gauges on a second monitor?

     

    Helios provides that ability, but it also allows customised switches that can be clicked via a touchscreen monitor. So all those switches you see in the screenshot (I'm assuming all!) can be clicked by touching the screen, which will interface with DCS.

    UH-1H Helios Profile?

    No problem, I'm glad I can help :)

     

    I've worked out the lines in the AI Panel .lua file (..\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts\AI\ControlPanel\g_panel_page.lua) that need to be edited to move the AI Panel - see the attached screenshot.

     

    You're looking for:

     

    FontSizeX1

    local size_X

    local size_Y

    base.init_pos = {aspect + shift_X,firstLineY + shift_Y} (this can be changed to use co-ords similar to the Control panel co-ords, but the 'scale' seemed completely different)

     

    The values in the attached screenshot result in the AI Panel fitting in the provided window in the Helios profile, but the lines seem a little squished together for some reason. I'm still playing with the values.

     

    I'm also hoping to change the position of the weapon status panel so it's a little less obstructive, but haven't started on that yet.

    UH-1H Helios Profile?

    Fakum, I have been searching for this lately too. I found the answer in this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1753910&postcount=2

     

    The co-ordinates are strange, they don't denote pixels. I have a 2560x1280 main monitor and a 1920x1080 touchscreen monitor, so to get the controls indicator to fit in this Helios profile, I used the following changes in the ControlsIndicator_page.lua:

     

    Line 12: local size = 0.22

    Line 44: base.init_pos = {4.275,0.7}

     

    I am still trying to work out settings for the AI panel

    nothing works now

    ^ If XP is really the issue, then it should be removed in the 'Minimum Requirements' list for both of those products in the ED E-shop.

     

    Some questions:

    1. What's the Microsoft error you're getting?

    2. Are you running more than one monitor? (If so, check that Full Screen is disabled in the options).

    That's cool, I'm not sure I'd want to ride around in a Death Star built on only 20 million pounds

     

     

    Personally, I'd love to tool around in one of these:

     

    And not one of these? Highly disappointed in you :P

    Progress...

    in DCS: A-10C Warthog

    Posted

    I have owned Warthog for a long time, but didn't have much time to devote to it, and felt daunted by the seemingly huge amount of info I'd need to learn. But I decided to have a crack at it recently and have found that it's surprisingly easy to pick up the basics of weapons deployment and navigation.

     

    It all seems to centre around the concept of the SPI - once you get the hang of that and can slave sensors to it, nothing will withstand your onslaught :evil:

     

    Unfortunately, I wouldn't have a clue what to after losing a system, and sometimes I can't find my targets!

     

    Now...such addiction. I play Warthog almost exclusively at the moment :joystick:
