Hello all. 123nd.Lion from my discord channel found a bug in the profile, in the comm1 channel selector. I really don't know from when this bug is over there, but well, thats happens! I fixed and reuploaded the UPDATE 3 profile to MEGA. Anyway, if you want to fix it by hand just drag and drop this two outputs on the comm1 rot: Thanks a lot for all your feedbacks ! ..

Thanks for testing. Please be sure to use the Helios 1.4.2019.1005 Thanks

UPDATE 3 HELIOS 1.4.2019.1005 or above REQUIRED Hello everyone! I just released the Update 3 for the F18 helios profile. I fixed the issues due to my last changes on the Helios interface, and all the switches updated by ED And at last i rework some of the art of the profile, extending the 16:9 background version to fill the full screen and adding new art for all the switch types. Hope you like it ! Here you got the change log: -LIR switch -LTD/R switch -LST/NFLR switch -AntiIce/Rain switch -HMD bright rotator -Fixed all the isses due to the last A10C interface changes (yes, that profile uses the A10C helios interface). -Extended the cockpit art to full screen on the 16x9 aspect resolution -Changed the art of all the switches for the actual F18C cockpit ones -Added the new kneeboard panel with all the existing maps on DCS -New export files organization ..

I started to work on the F16 several weeks ago, but right now i am very bussy trying to pass a official teacher certification by Epic (i am a Unreal Engine teacher in an academy). Next week, probably i finish all my task with the certfication, and then i can continue with the F16 project.

From my last published profile, i reextructured the way export files control my helios profiles. Right now the export.lua do not manage the helios export directly. It call a helios export file, with a series of includes that support the airplanes independently. In that way we dont need to have all the planes toghether in the export.lua Now you got a export file for each airplane inside scripts/helios/mods. you can even, uncomment the lines on the includes to eliminate airplanes ! The generic interface is used in several profiles taht do not have n actual interfcae in Helios. That the case for the F14 for example. So if you take a look to the F14 file, inside scripts/helios/mods you can see how it works.

Welcome back Ian ! We missed you a lot ! Hope you find a new job soon!

Hello all. I am preparing the update 3 for the F18 profile. I fixed the 3 flir switches, and some others that has been afected for the new A10C interface ( yes, the f18 profile uses the a10C interface) if you remember something that dont work, and want it to be fixed.... this is your moment!

- The ufc button is side by side with the Top and CDU buttons. You can see the button? or just dont work? - My F18 profile uses the A10C original helios interface, yes, thats correct. - To be compatible with all the profiles, always use the latest export.lua i got on my site. -Tonight i am going to revise the F18 profile, I made some chanegs on the A10C interface for my latest profile, and is posible that F18 as been afected.

Hello everyone! I just published a brand new A10C Warthog Helios profile! You can follow the official post here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4064613#post4064613 Hope you like it !! ..

Hello all ! For several years the CapLoz profile was a standard on the DCS simmers but several changes on the ED A10C code make some of his systems stop working, like the radios, TACAN, IFF, etc. I made some changes on my exports, long time ago, trying to fix the issues, but i think is time to make a revisit to the A10C, and create a new updated and full working profile, he deserves it! Several weeks ago, i started the projec. The first thing i did was revise the Helios interface of the A10C, over those years some of the code become obsolete or changed, so several system on it stop working long time ago. Doing that i decided to add other missing systems to the interface, with the idea to create a complete new profile, adding all the panels on the cockpit. Meanwhile i started working on the art of the profile, creating the panels, lamps, switches, etc. Taking the CapLoz profile as a reference, i start working on the profile, adding the new panels, new controls, revising everything and at last finishing it last week. So... here you got! a brand new A10C Helios profile! IMPORTANT NOTICE for CAPLOZ USERS: This new profile uses the latest version of Helios, with all the convenient changes on the interface, so we dont need the fixes for the radios and the TACAN i made long time ago. So i removed those fixes from my export files . I am going to leave old versions (as always) of the export files, with those fixes included, just in case you still want to use the CaptLoz profile with the changes for radios and TACAN. Probably with the new changes on the Helios interface, some of the broken systems on the Caploz profile, become active again!, but I can't assure that all systems work now, and some of then probably need to change some values on the switches. Anyway, later in this document, i am going to make a realtion of all the changes i did on the interface, just in case you need it for your home cockpit. THE NEW CAPT ZEEN A10C PROFILE: For this profile i exported all the instruments, lamps, selectors, switches and levers in the A10C cockpit. Of course i added the navigation panel from others profiles, so you can check airport charts, tactical maps, ndbs, etc - HELIOS VERSION NEEDED: This new profile uses the new A10C Helios interface, so you need to have the Helios version 1.4.2019.1005 or above You can donwload from here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3302014/ And yes, for the first time in Helios, you can use the mouse weel to rotate rotarys and pots, thanks to BeamRider! main panel Left A and Right A panels Left B and Right B panels left C panel CDU and UFC panels New Kneeboard Nav panel - PROFILE FILES: A10C_V1.0.hpf .....................16:10 monitor resolutions A10C_V1.0b.hpf .....................16:9 monitor resolutions - EXPORT FILES: In this version i included a new file organization for the export. Thanks a lot to Crivi, who reorganized all the files and functions by planes. Now, new airplanes can have their own files and do not interfere with the helios main export functions. You need to install those files in your scripts folder. - MONITOR ASPECT RESOLUTIONS: I made two different profiles, v1.0 for 16:10 monitors and v1.0b for 16:9 monitors. Use the one better fit width you monitor resolution. - Thanks: I made the entire graphic art, based on screenshots of the simulator, using the Ricardo's mod to improve the cockpit visuals, and the textures folder of the game. I used the airport charts from http://www.virtual-jabog32.de I used the Persian Gulf Kneeboard pages by Pellelil - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303320/ I used the Nevada/Arizona Airports diagrams V2.3 - http://www.476vfightergroup.com I used the DCS Normandy Aerodrome Charts V1.0 by Capt Zeen - http://www.captzeen.com For the export.lua i used the Loophole version, compatible width KA50, A10c and FC3 as a base for all my implementations. In the export.lua i include a couple of functions by [FSF]Ian to export the digits of the UV26 for the MI-8 Thanks to Crivi, who reorganized all the export files by airplanes and functions. I want to give thanks to Bluefinbima, for let me include the new helios controls and features, and the new A10C interface. Thanks to Rashmaninov, for implementing the new helios Trans-rotate control.¡Gracias amigo! Thanks to Cylution, yzfanimal, Damien022, Derammo, Piet Van Nes and BeamRider for the good work done implementing new Helios features. And of course to Gadroc for creating Helios, this great software.

Change it before copy to the game folder, and save a copy of this structure, cause DCS world rewrite this files every update! To calculate the correct position of each viewport, run Helios and start the profile. Take a screenshot and paste the image in any art program. Paint from Windows works well. Put the cursor over the left-up corners of every empty spaces and write down the coordinates. Drag a box from that point to the right_down corner, and take the width and height of the rectangle. Modify the 2_monitors-A10C.lua width your correct numbers. and you can now copy the complete "DCS Monitor Configuration" folder to the DCS game folder, or use a Mods control program like OVGME to do it.

Hello all ! Just for your information, i am working on a brand new A10C Helios profile!. For several years the CapLoz profile was a standard on the dcs simmers but several changes on the A10C code make some of his systems stop working, like the radios, tacan etc. I made some changes on my exports, long time ago trying to fix the issues, but i think is time to make a revisit to the A10C, and create a new updated and full working profile, he deserves it! I am updating aswell the Helios interface for the A10C so the old problems are fixed on Helios too. The art and programming work is very advanced right now, i hope to finish the profile in a week or two, but i am going to publish it with a new version of Helios, with all the changes and new crontrols i am adding on it. Well... now some fun... here you got some actual screenshots of the new profile, working on my computer.... main panel Right panel A, with the new CDU exported viewport Of course, if you got problems with vision (like me) you can use the big CDU panel, too. Yes! TACAN working perfect ! And the radios too ! well, hope you like it ! ...

If , RWR UFC and IFEI are ot working probably is because you don't use the modified .ini files. Check yout installation and confirm that those files are installed

i made a fast test with your profile. on the send keys you can´t use capital letters so M is not going to work You need to use m. The capitals letter need to be used only in the special keys, for example: {TAB}m ..

Thanks to all the HB team, the airplane is fabulous!

Thanks for the profile, i am going to take a look this afternoon.

They can not be copied from one profile to another because they dont have the same interface. The old one was FC and the new one is the Generic interface. But as far as i know you can add new buttons and use the keyboard interface if you want.

Thanks a lot Overalien. Files updated on the web. I removed the "1-" on the formula or the needle goes inverse direction.
