  1. The Helios panel program would be the easiest solution for you. You could either use an existing panel profile or make your own to suit your needs.
  2. I've done several repairs. Issue is with both the OB and the Release versions. I had hoped to find a solution without editing files, however since I could not find in the lua file where the issue is, I just modified the file to move the panel into the main view port. I also edited the controlsindicator.lua to move that to the middle of the view port while in HUD only mode.
  3. I believe if you look in the /DCS/Mods/Aircraft/aircraftname/Cockpit/Scripts/devices.lua You'll find what you're looking for
  4. I'm not having any trouble with it crashing. Might you have the NS430 Navigation System installed. Its been know to cause some to crash.
  5. Ok, I give up!!! At first I thought the issue might be with DCS, next maybe its Helios 1.6 (since before I got the F-16, I was mainly flying the UH-1 which doesn't have any exports, so I was always using just 1 monitor in the configuration.) However, there is nothing wrong with Helios monitor configuration, and after going over the g_panel_page.lua, on the surface it looks like DCS is compensating for multi monitors and making calculations based on the viewport. So what is my problem... First some facts about my setup. I'm using two monitors, #1 the main monitor is 2560 x 1440, this is my main viewport, #2 1920 x 1080, used for my Helios panels. This gives me a total resolution of 4480 x 1440. In the g_panel_page.lua at line 10 is where the calculations for a multimonitor are made. But somewhere along the way DCS is reverting back to the Full Resolution for its placement. I have checked this against the other monitor setups in DCS's MonitorSetup and the results are the same. Primarily this concerns the UH1 AI panel. But if you want to check whether the placement is figured correctly on your multimonitor setup... When in an aircraft of your choosing, open the Controls Indicator on your screen, is should be on the left side of your screen, at the (top, center or bottom). Now press LAlt + F1 to enter HUD only view,(which is how I fly when using Helios panels), if the indicator is not in the center of your viewport (top, center or bottom), but slightly off to the right of center, then the calculation is using your full resolution also. Good luck and Happy Flying to you all.
  6. Found the issue. Its not an issue with DCS but with Helios. When using Helios 1.6 with the Helios Monitor configuration, if you go from an aircraft that has exports, ie F-16, A-10 etc, to something that doesn't have any exports like the UH-1. The Monitor configuration can't compensate for the lack of exports and DCS sees your full screen width and height. My main monitor used for the view port is 2560x1440 and 2nd monitor used for the Helios panel is 1920x1080, DCS sees this as a screen resolution of 4480x1440. Since the AI panel is normally placed in your lower right corner, this is sending it to an area that is off the bottom of the 2nd monitor, rather than using the view port resolution for its placement. So I'm off to fiddle with the g_panel_page.lua to try and change where DCS will place it.
  7. Did something get changed? My AI panel won't open, pressing LWin + H does nothing. I've tried remapping the keybinds to something else, but it still won't open.

    Helmet

    Quick answer...Yes. However, if the helmet you want to use has a different name then the one you're replacing it with you need to give your new helmet the same name as the one you are changing. otherwise you'll need to edit the description file.
  9. Hi, found the problem, Nothing wrong with your programing. Fault lies in the in the DCS command function of the freq tuning, the values are backwards, decrease actually increases and increase actually decreases. To solve this issue with your profile, In the 6 lines that call for the key commands tobe sent to DCS just swap the letters around... Change the W to E, E to W, F to T, T to F, J to U and U to J. And it works as it should. Also make note in you pdf, to have the user change the "Decrease 1MHz" keybind from "LCtrl+LShift+R" to LCtrl+LShift+F" Since the keybind "LCtrl+LShift+R" actually doesn't do anything Thanks again for the profiles.
  10. Hi, First let me thank you for the wonderful VA profiles you've made. I'm having a little trouble with the Huey UHF tuning. The log shows your profile is hearing what freq I asked for but its not tuning to that freq I think there maybe fault in the calculations in the UHF Com command. I have been using your example of '369.55', and have tried it on the sim's default uhf radio setting of '251.00' and its tunes to '343.45'. I've also done a 'quick reset frequencies' with a radio setting of '300.00', and it tuned to '241.45'. The log shows 'Tuning: [36] [Not set] [Not set]'. Tomorrow I'll take a closer look at the command and try and decipher if there is a problem or the problem is on my end. I am using the Sim's default keyboard.lua, and I didn't notice a difference between that and the keyboard file you had included in your zip file. But any help you can give will be much appreciated. Thanks
  11. Did you assign a loadout for the door gunners. If your loadout doesn't have any weapons then you won't get door gunners.
  12. The reason it won't allow you to assign a button is because that command doesn't exist in the default joystick file. So right now the only way to assign a button to it, is for you to add that command to the joystick 'default.lua' file.
  13. Don't click 'solo fight' but do change your aircraft control priority to 'ask always' or 'equally responsible' otherwise you won't be able to leave the pilot seat
  14. Know that any time you leave the pilots seat while flying alone, the heli will switch to autopilot, so you'll want to bind the lever flight and orbit to buttons or remember the keyboard shortcuts. The only thing you need to do different then before, is to set the aircraft control priority to ask always or equally responsible, otherwise you won't be able to leave the pilot seat.
