Just got my X55 so far so good profile works okay I have not try really using it yet one problem or maybe not is I have no Throttle control of the engines using the Hotas throttle. I see that it is not mapped or Binded to any keys. I look at other profiles that are the same. The throttle control work in the Saitek software but does not function in DCS. Any reason why not functioning or why throttles not mapped to keys? EDIT: Figured it out, My Bad throttle working now.TY

Great and I just got mine yesterday :mad: Im happy to get it but if they come out with a new model just when I got mine that sucks!

Thanks guys, Yea was staring me in the face did not click, I cleared out the conflicts and it cleared up, A10 has left and right brakes now for toe brakes and removed the pitch conflict in Huey all good now. Now just need to practice my huey landings no excuse now. :doh: Thanks!

Could not find anywhere else to put this question. I still a new pilot and just now got Pro Combat pedals waiting on the Hotas still :joystick: my question is the pedal rudder function works fine but I cant not figure out the function of the toe brakes in A10C and Huey. A10C using toe brakes has no function nor can I assign it, any help there? Huey using toe brakes seems to violently control the stick and snaps the main rotor off, I cant find a where to disable this in game. Does the tow brake need to function in these two sims or no ? Any help appreciated. Admin: sorry I see now where I could have posted this move if needed, thanks

No worries, but I'm ordering the same stick I may need to know too!

Interesting, I have a question, I have not played multiplayer yet and not sure how long a plane stay in world, In multiplayer is it acceptable to ditch/crash land a plane on the runway or if ditching only done off of airport ? Just curious wanting to play nice with others.

I new to this myself but when playing with the lua files I deleted a ; by mistake and had the same effect by not showing up on the list. Perhaps compare your file with a file that is on the list and see what is missing. Good luck

Thanks a lot, Still more or less in the middle on those two choices, price maybe the deciding factor in the end I can get 2 pcs of kit for the price of the thrustmaster. I do want to fly the Huey later and taking out the resistance spring on the X55 looks interesting. But still thinking it over. With the great help here I got Helios 99% working so a Touch Monitor is being added to the list I will hold off on the Cougar MFDs since Helios more than covers that. Very excited.

Yep there they are thank you! Okay now next set of unclear items. Per post 1 instructions I am to copy that code supplied into that lua after that certain line. 1. Code looks like maybe possibly 2 parts? am I to use all of it or just the half I need? 2. To be clear this code gets pasted into each indicator file I want displayed? and the only thing different is the name reference at the bottom for each indicator code? 3. Do I use the lua files in the game or use the lua files supplied by Loz SM V2.1 and copy them over? Why do we have these indicator files with the profile? Should I have placed them elsewhere already? right now they in the helios directory. Help appreciated!

Still reading posts but trying to get this to work for me. I got a problem with the instructions as follows: Here is the way to do that : - First go to S:\DCS A-10C\Scripts\Aircrafts\A-10C\Cockpit - Then go to the indicator folder you want to use (Eg : AN_ALR69V\indicator - then open the init.lua file of your indicator (Eg : AN_ALR69V_init.lua here) - find this line : Problem That directory as is does not exist for me I can find that files under: E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\DCSWorld\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit There is no reference to A-10C directory in aircrafts, I tried it anyway but not working not sure if wrong file or I still have another issue. I have further issues with the instructions but until I get answer on this Im stuck. any help appreciated

Okay after some sleep I think I got the basic understanding and was able to setup 2 screen side by side with main screen left and the 2 MFCDs on the other screen. Its just a matter of putting them where I want.

Need a bit of help and maybe a lua example. I'm just starting to play with Multiple Monitors and Helios and getting the basics although have not got anything to work right yet. When final I like to have 2 monitor setup top the main view and bottom the Helios cockpit as I seen in many setups. For now I have 2 - 1920x1080 monitors side by side and like to test and get all functioning to prep for the final build. Anyway I'm a little confused and it maybe late and I'm playing with too many different tools, Now the questions. Can I get help or an example of a 2 1920x1080 lua setup? Also to make sure I'm going in the right order: 1 Multi-monitor setup 2 Do Export Viewport instructions 3 Helios setup I been playing with the virtual cockpit software is that in the mix or stop using it? any help appreciated

Getting back to the Joystick anyone with a Thrusmaster or X55 can tell me if the stick yaw, twist of the stick able to be locked or disabled in software?

Thanks a lot I will do so as soon as get setup here.

Hey thanks all for the great feedback a lot of info there cant wait to get home and start configuring Trackir and other things properly. The Helios thing is VERY interesting and considering it. I don't see myself using keyboard commands its just too difficult to do while flying for me if I can do most or all on a touch screen and the Hotas I will be golden. Thrustmaster, I do want it and it looks like I may go that way, It maybe the first item I need to get and the most expensive. I got the A10 Manual ordered today, cant wait, for now looking over the PDFs and smaller guides. The forum here has just so much to read, I'm diving in fully.
