Good job! grats.

Added a Troubleshooting section on the first post. Check there, first, if you got problems ! Probably there is your solution. ..

I just downloaded from the website and opened with Winrar. No problems at all, here.

1- Export.lua inside the folder \Users\xyz\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\ HelioCore.lua and HeliosExport.lua inside the folder \Users\xyz\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Helios\ 2- ED changed in the last patch the order on the device numbers and that cause some system to be directed to another controls. Download again the export files from the site, those are ready for the update and fix the problem. You dont need to change the profile, only the export files.

Lets see... Wen you install a Helios profile, and you got a problem, try to identify exactly what happens. Usually two issues can show up: 1 - The gauges, switches, lamps, etc, don't work 2 - The diferent viewports from DCS, like DDIs IFEI, RWR, etc, do not work. In the FIRST case: Helios is probably not getting the DCS info needed, and thats because the export.lua is not doig his job. So... - check if the export files are you using are the correct ones - check if the place where you installed is the correct one: Export.lua inside the folder \Users\yourusername\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\ HelioCore.lua and HeliosExport.lua inside the folder \Users\yourusername\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Helios\ - then double check again ! - and of course, always use my last export files. If you are using a system with more than two monitors, - check the FAQ on the site. There is a bug on Helios that can asign a incorrect monitor to all bindings on the profile. There you got a solution for that. If everything looks correct with the export files and still no joy, - run a mision, and exit DCS, - then check the dcs.log ins savedgames/dcs/logs and look for errors in the export.lua . If something wrong happens in the export.lua the log tell you where to look at. If you are using other tools with Helios, like: Simpleradio,Tackview DCS-bios etc, you can try to change the order of the lines in the export.lua. Those ones do not give problems, but some tools can, so give it a try. In the SECOND case: Ok, this is important to know, Helios do not export the viewports, is DCS who do that. Some DCS modules are ready to export some of his viewport, but not all of them. That's the reason we need to change some .luas to make that module ready to export the viewports. In the F18 case, and at this date, only the 2 DDIs are ready to export. The AMPCD, IFEI, RWR and UFC are not, so we need to overwrite those .luas with other ones ready to export viewport. Usually, in my profile packages you got everything you need to do that operation in a folder called monitor configuration. So... -Check if you installed the files in the correct place. I recomend to you use JSGME or OVGME to do the job, because in every DCS update those files are rewriten again - Then edit the MonitorSetup file to adjust the viewports to your monitor configuration. (2_monitors-FA18C.lua ) - In DCS options, put your max resolution - In DCS options, uncheck full screen option - In DCS options, select the monitorsetup file to use (the one your just edited) if you got other problems, check the FAQ on the site If still you don't find a solution, you can use my discord channel too: https://discord.gg/sS66aJf And of course you can ask in this forum too !! ..

Check if you got installed the files needed for the viewport export. You got the files in the profile package, inside the folder: monitor configuration.

Well, i don't know how people with 4 monitors arrange them in windows, but as far as i know, if you make a T layout, you need to configure your total resolution in DCS as 5760x2160. But if you arrange the monitors to be the 4 in horizontal line in Windows, your screen total can be 7680x1080 instead of 5760x2160. 7680x1080= 8294400 pixels 5760x2160=12441600 pixels Anyway other people with 4 monitor configuration can help better. I am still using only two Dont forget to deactivate the full screen check on DCS options too. And if you put the actual size in the viewport instead screen.width and screen.height you can be sure the numbers are the correct ones, even if the resolution is not well configured in options. so use: Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 5760; height =1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 5.3333; } }

Thanks mates, this little program save my life! :pilotfly:

With the new update, the name of the viewports are LEFT_MFCD and RIGHT_MFCD. check that in your monitorsetup config file, probably you still got the LEft_F18 and Right_F18 from my first version of the profile.

Start a mission, and exit. The send me your DCS.log from \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\log

Just for your info. In the last update (18-JUL-2018 ) ED changed the numbers of the devices from the 38 till 56. So probably youll need to fix that in your DCSBios code ..

OK, here you got the Fix for the OpenBeta. ED changed the order of the devices from the number 38, so from that device number till the 56, all the buttons points to a wrong device numbers on the export.lua. I fixed the problem in this new package. You only really need to change the new export files from the package. No changes on the profile itself. http://captzeen.com/helios/downloads.asp ..

Well, what airplane should be the next Capt Zeen Helios profile? :music_whistling: .. So far ( 26/08/2018 ): Viggen 3 Harrier 6 M2K 3 SU25update 2 C101 1 ..

Yes, we use it every mision we fly

Yesterday i updated the profile files on the site, if yours are olders, please dowload again. Are you using more than 2 monitors? check the FAQ on the site, there is a bug in helios about this, there is the solution.

send a photo of your setup when you finished !

check the FAQ on my site, there is a bug on helios when converting to more than 2 monitors, there you got the soution for that case

probably you need to use 5760x2160 but better if you arrange the monitors to be the 4 in horizontal line in Windows. In that way you screen total can be 7680x1080 instead of 5760x2160. 7680x1080= 8294400 pixels 5760x2160=12441600 pixels anyway other people with 4 monitor configuration can help better. I am still using only two ...

KA50 for ever! The F/A-18C is just a summer love!

Finally i got the Radio panel! We got support for the F/A-18C ?

:thumbup:

Revise where you installed the images of the profile. if you see red boxes with X's in them is because the images are not in the correct place.

Check the faq on my site. There is a problem with helios when usin 3 or more monitor. There you got the solution and how you need to fix it.

For the GAzelle problem... I deleted a line by mistake on the f18 profile, So use the new export on my site. it is corrected.

How many monitors are you using?
