Hello all. Yesterday, exporting the frequencies from R863 and R828 i notice that the R828 always export me the value of the Channel nº1, even if i have selected another channel. The R623 work correct, every channel export the corresponding freq, but not the R828. I extract the data from: local R828 = GetDevice(39) freq_828 = R828:get_frequency() There is something i am doing wrong? or just the program don't return the correct value when you change the channel ? Thanks in advance.

Hello Sobe. They were not implemented (WCP and RWR) when i did the profiles. I just made the holes to put external tool behind it. Right now, and after working on the su27 , i got all the information i need to do the WCP very easy. The RWR is another thing, I got all the data to create it, ( like de beryoza) but the representation is something i cant do in Helios, so is needed another tool to create it. I know some people work on it, some time ago, but dont know if they finish it. In my plans are redo all the old profiles width the new implementations, but need to finish somethings before.

Hello all ! This week i was playing around width the posibilities of a MI-8 helios profile, and i reach at this point : Using the FC interface i manage to export everything from DCS to Helios... Switches, lamps, instruments! and for the first time i manage to syncronice everything ! In other words, if you click in the cockpit, Helios syncronice their switch and viceversa. The same features you get width the ka50 or a10C interfaces. I show you the three panels i am working at the moment...Everything is working and syncronized. Hope you like ! Ah, yes, i know, i need to finish the su27 one ! main Pilot panel Running a lamp test in the cockpit Starting engines from upper panel . . . UPDATED: New screenshots below! .. . . .

Hey ! Thanks Etcher and Predattak! you opened my mind! and it works ! Now i need to find free keys combinations to include all the unlisted switches. Allways more work ! Sobe, the su27 profile is ready for the 16:10 monitor configuration, now i need to convert it to the other resolutions before publish it. The art part is done, so i just need to find a little time to implement. And yes, i have plans to create new versions of the su25T and f15 ones, width all the additions and improvements. Again, thanks to all for your help. every day i learn something new.

Hello all. Need some help. I am working in a MI-8 Helios profile, but there are a lot of switches on the cockpit, that don't have a key assigned or even they don.'t appear in the list in the option/control panel. I can get from the clickabledata.lua the information i need, for example: elements["PTR-CPE-TMB-PUMP-L"] = default_2_position_tumb(_("Left Engine Shutoff Valve"), devices.FUELSYS_INTERFACE, device_commands.Button_1,427) i read here you can add commands to the joystick default.lua. I am not at home, so i can't look for a keyboard/default.lua or something like that so... ...now my question: There is a way to assign a keyboard to a unlisted command, modifying any lua? Thanks a lot !!

Thanks a lot, i am going to use in my next mission.

if i dont remember bad, there is a executable in the repository, i remember running it width a Extended FC interface i did some time ago,

the left console is a panel. the list are the objects inside the panel. to copy the panel you need to doit selecting the left panel from the main monitor view. dont click twice on it , or you enter inside the panel. just click once on the panel on the main window. then copy, click in the desired monitor and then paste it.

I do not have experience width this A10C profile, but probably the left console is a helios panel. If thats the case you can copy it to the other monitor, but helios is gona rename the new panel. So, if you copy aswell the launch handle, you need to check the outputs binds of the handle, and point it to the new panel name. For the Background problem, check if the image is the background of the panel itself, or if is an image decoration, usualy need to be in the panel itself, or inside the panel as a image, but, you now, there are no rules on that. if you dont find it, just add a new image at the bottom of the panel hierarchy (or top, depens how Gadroc did) and select the image of the background from the hd. Hope thats help.

for this cockpit i exported all instruments, including the weapons pylons, Beryoza, fuel gauges, mechanical info, etc... Some alarm lights can not be exported, at least i dont know how, for example the autopilot disconection. You can modify the profile, just moving the instruments where you want, but i made a single backgound image for all the cockpit, width holes where the instruments are, so if you can do some extreme changes, probably you need to change the background image in photoshop.

are you using the correct export.lua ?

Sorry guys, i was a bit busy those lasts weeks, creating an online roster for the squadron and some missions to fly. The SU27 helios profile is allready finish and full working in 16:10, i just need to prepare the other resolutions versions before publish it. I hope this week end i can have a bit of time to do it !!

Well, i was making some test creating a new function using mist.getLeadPos() and then passing the position to ctld.spawnDroppedGroup() But when i call the function nothing happens, so probbaly i am doing dsomething wrong. This is the function, if you want to check: function ctld.spawnGroupAtGroup(_groupSide, _number, _GroupName, _searchRadius) local posicion = mist.getLeadPos(_GroupName) local _country if _groupSide == "red" then _groupSide = 1 _country = 0 else _groupSide = 2 _country = 2 end if _number < 1 then _number = 1 end if _searchRadius < 0 then _searchRadius = 0 end local _groupDetails = ctld.generateTroopTypes(_groupSide, _number, _country) local _droppedTroops = ctld.spawnDroppedGroup(posicion, _groupDetails, false, _searchRadius); if _groupSide == 1 then table.insert(ctld.droppedTroopsRED, _droppedTroops:getName()) else table.insert(ctld.droppedTroopsBLUE, _droppedTroops:getName()) end end

In the profile i am working right now, (su27) i implemented the pylons, beryoza, mechinfo, and a lot more things. As soon i finished, i am going to make a new version of the su25T one, width all those improvements.

Yes, you need to do some code in the export.lua You have two options: 1- Capture the needed data from the Hawk in the export.lua and then, send it to Helios across the FC interface (like i did width the P51) 2- Create a new interface for the Hawk for Helios, then figure how to implement it in Helios installation. Then you need to extract all the data in the export.lua to send it to Helios across the Hawk Interface. The first option, is more or less easy to do, if you got some knowledge of programming. The second one, need support from Gadroc, and of course if you want to publish later, the users need to install the new Helios installation. Is something i want to test width the Mi8. Create a new interface and talk width Gadroc, but, i need to finish the SU27 first !

Muchas gracias ! This is more or less what i am doing, The bus only stops when the 2 scorts are eliminated, and then is when i want to spawn the hostages, near the bus. i was thinking about the posibility to teleport the hostages from a diferent side of the map. but i am really new to the mision editor, and really dont know if i can teleport to the position of one unit, using Mist or something else.

Hello all ! I discovered this scipt two days ago and i am testing width it. It give a new dimension to de helis misions ! Thanks a lot and congrats for your work!! And now, a couple of cuestions/issues... I am making a mission where you need to rescue some hostages, those are transported in a enemy bus width some scorts vehicles. The idea is eliminate the scort and then, the bus stop. In that moment i want to spawn the hostages outside the bus, and then rescue them width a helo. The thing is.. i never know where the bus is going to stop, so i can't use ctld.spawnGroupAtTrigger() becouse i dont have a trigerzone. I can preload the bus with the units(hostages), using ctld.preLoadTransport() but how i can drop they when the bus stops? And probably, i will need to setup the coalition of the dropped hostages, or they probably want to shoot me down ! I was thinking to have a function that permits drop the units widtout triggerzone, and the posibility to select the colation of the dropped units. Something like : ctld.spawnGroupAtUnit() Another posibility is a function that create a triggerzone at the position of one unit, and then spawn the hostages in that triggerzone. Any ideas how to make something like this?

This is still broken? no one fixet it yet?

Hello all. As i promissed, here you got a screeshot of the actual version : Take a look and compare the cockpit and helios Beryoza, the fuel gauge, the mechanical panel, the weapons stations, and the shells, chaffs and flares counters ! I still need to work on some instruments, but the hard part is done !

Yes, you need to replace the original files width thi s ones, that permits export the other devices to the second monitor. like the rwr, digital clock, etc. I recomend you to replace the files using JSGM o similar program, becouse every time ED update the game, youll need to do it again. I dont remember where exactly you need to put the files, i am not at home, right now, but if i remember well is in dcs/mod/aircraft/a10c/cockpit/scripts/ and then each init in his folder.

Serial # 0293 Location: Palma de Mallorca, Spain

You need to be sure you are using a correct export.lua I dont have experience width Steam installation, but in the standar one, this file is in C:\Users\yourusername\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts, Probably you need to overwrite some aditional files aswell if you want to export to the second monitor some devices of the A10C. I recomend you use the CapLoz profile for the A10c, there is all the files and information you need for it. IMPORTANT: And rebember, some versions ago, ED change the name of the folder "aircrafts" by "aircraft", so if you download a old profile, check for this folder on the package and rename it before copy to your dcs installation.

After a couple of weeks working on other projects, the Beryoza has been implemented on the SU27 profile ! Now all the complex part is done, i need to clean up a bit the export.lua and prepare the diferent aspect ratio versions of the profile. This weekend i am going to post some screenshots. See you all !

hehe, yeah !

Hi my name is Capt Zeen I own the KA-50, A10C, Mi-8, UH-1H, C101, Mig 21, CA and FC3 My videos can be found on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH3vOMBzNRnTliVQmhhrjng I like creating instructional and howto videos about the ka-50 and Helios. At the moment i got some videos in spanish, but as soon as possible, i want to start producing in english. My next series of videos are going to be about Helios, how to install it, how to use it, create/modify profiles, and even manipulate the export.lua to create new extended profiles. You can find my work, too, in http://www.captzeen.com I'm from Spain and speak Spanish, a bit of English, French and German.
