MAdkreator, hi. i have used f15e plugin succesfully for a while now, but since last helios update I had a problem and it gave some unexpected errors.. i had to roll back to previous verison of helios.

Hello all,
I am on the lookout for a Helios Profile for the Hind. Capt Zeen has done a brilliant one for the Mi-8, but sadly there seems to be nothing out there for the Hind.
Have seen some chat about exporting the map, but flicking switches and Circuit breakers would be fantastic too!
Cheers

hello all,
Does anyone know of a helios profile for the Mi-24, that rivals the Mi-8 profile by Cpt Zeen?
i am desperate for a Hind version..... so good (the mi 8 one)thanks!

Multi crew is something we would like to do for the Mi-8 but we have no news to share currently.
thanks
Hi @BIGNEWY & @NineLine - Are there any further developments regarding MC for the HIP? I've just renewed my love for this beast, fairly fast, powerful and door gunners! Now flying it Multiplayer makes it a lot more fun. MC would be just fantastic.

hi all, is there an easy way to get the pink dot to a specific screen? i have my main viewport on one screen, but dot appears on screen 2
cheers!

@Asto My sincere gratitude to you for sorting this out.
I have a vertical setup, so was worried that it wouldn't work, but I copied your code and it works! haven't manged to see if the target list will work, but optimistic.
I was worried as I am using display tables in my monitor config file, which i havent seen many people use.
cheers again, great stuff!!!!

Just a quick info - i have KU screen export visible on my tablet, and when switching to CPG i see only central TEDAC display....No left no right MFD for pilot or copilot...What am i missing here?
I suspect it is the X and y coordinates of your viewport exports (like the MFD's). Are they correct? What is the resolution of the touch screen you are using?

Thanks to Bunnys profile,I adapt it to my equipment.As for PLT，I hidden the KU to get more space to MFDS and EUFD.But for the lastest version Helios，changging pannels is very slow，sometimes just losing response，unless I minimize the DCS...
Hey Flankersea, could you share your profile too? Curious as to how you hide the keyboard and the viewport for the KU? is that possible?
-
sobe, in order to look at your new profile, could you also please share the edited interface that you mention with double coded MFD buttons?
-
Ares, thanks for this!! been a big help for me..
Bunny has made a helios interface!
cheers!

Sobe and Bunny,
Been following your discussions, deliberations and efforts closely! Well done sirs..... Especially with the headache cause bij the CPG and Pilots MFD exports issues.
I am going to try both your profiles out and also hope that there will be a hotfix at some points for the exprts. I do hope they find this important, but wondering if this is more complex then any other aircraft they have done before....
Personally I would change the layout of the Helios profiles, especially for the Pilot's seat I would make the MFD's as big as possible, have the UFD top right, keeping the layout like the real cockpit and have a floating keyboard that can appear with a button as well as comms and lighting.. stuff you dont use all the time.... But hey, i am not nearly as clued up as you folk so i might have to borrow from you
or take it real slow
cheers and hope more people will help!! -
Another link to view ports export if this is helpful

ah, i see! thanks!

Attached is my monitor config file for the pilot ((1920x1080) x 2), my changes to the init lua files to enable the exporting of the view ports and the Helios profile. Note that the Helios profile does contain a sound file which is discussed in the Capt Zeen Discord>Helios support>march 14th>look for my discuss with Linknet. If the zip does not work, i can load the separate files.

For the time being, I have left my Helios profile such that in the CPG seat, my second screen has the CPG MFDs and TMU. In the pilot seat, I have to use the MFDs from the game cockpit with zoomed snap views making them more readable and usable.
Would you mind sharing the Helios profile also?
-
thanks, let me take a look! much appreciated

just found this on another thread
" The viewport names are mentioned in <dcs folder>\mods\aircraft\ah-64d\cockpit\scripts\displays\MFD\device\MFD_device_IDs.lua.
PLT_LMFD, PLT_RMFD, CPG_LMFD, CPG_RMFD (I believe, the center monitor viewport is named TEDAC)"
not sure if this helps.
If you had a button to switch the profile from CPG to pilot and Visa versa, like the capt zeen one for the Huey?

First Helios test results
It appears that for the view ports, there has to be one set for the Pilot and another set for the CPG. For example, I have the MFDs and the TDU working fine for the CPG but when I go into the pilots seat, the TDU does not show up and the MFDs that show up in the pilot seat are those of the CPG and not of the pilot. Further testing required.
Subsequent testing. It appears that until a mod like the lantirn mod for the F14 is developed, only the CPG will be able to view the TMU (the middle screen).
In the CPG seat, everything appears to work. HOWEVER, IN THE PILOT SEAT, the export files appear to only pick up the MFDs for the CPG and not those of the pilot. The result is that when you are in the Pilot seat in the Helios profile, you are only getting the MFDs of the CPG. However, the MFDs of the pilot work fine in the actual game cockpit. I am not sure why the export file is only exporting the CPG MFDs and not those also of the Pilot. One possible explanation is that alphabetically, cpg comes before pilot and therefore it only picks up the cpg mdfs. I tried to name the MFDs differently for the pilot and gunner, but that did not solve the problem.
Here is the CPG Helios profile.
Hi Sobe,
Good work! nice to see you have done some extra work on the profile. more buttons.
I used your initial draft and noticed the same problem. I think you need to find the names of the specific viewports that DCS uses to recognise the all the MFCD etc etc.
The terms "Left_MFCD and RIGHT_MFCD" can work for all planes, but as you can see from my monitor.lua file some planes have their own specific naming convention. Like for the gazelle and the 10C II, but also F18 and F14 will have this. see below from my Lua
LEFT_MFCD = { x = displays[2].x + 328, y = displays[2].y + 1466, width = 625, height = 625 }
RIGHT_MFCD = { x = displays[2].x + 1431, y = displays[2].y + 1466, width = 625, height = 625 }
A_10C_2_LEFT_MFCD = { x = displays[2].x + 278, y = displays[2].y + 1224, width = 430, height = 430 }
A_10C_2_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = displays[2].x + 1425+217, y = displays[2].y + 1224, width = 430, height = 430 }
A_10C_2_CDU_SCREEN = { x = displays[2].x + 1223+217, y = displays[2].y + 1723, width = 222, height = 163 }
A_10C_2_RWR_SCREEN = { x = displays[2].x + 631+217, y = displays[2].y + 242, width = 185, height = 185 }
SA342_FM = { x = displays[2].x +1877-1377, y = displays[2].y +1540, width = 180, height = 30 }
SA342_NADIR = { x = displays[2].x +1753-1377, y = displays[2].y +1670, width = 339, height = 185 }
SA342_RWR = { x = displays[2].x +2194-1377, y = displays[2].y +1101, width = 231, height = 231 }
SA342_TV = { x = displays[2].x +1697-1377, y = displays[2].y +1085, width = 455, height = 360 }
SA342_UHF = { x = displays[2].x +1831-1377, y = displays[2].y +1804, width = 150, height = 32 }
SA342_WP1 = { x = displays[2].x +1827-1377, y = displays[2].y +1621, width = 195, height = 30 }= { x = displays[2].x + 328, y = displays[2].y + 1466, width = 625, height = 625 }
Could you share your new profile again so I (try to) can help?

PS: I can always get a deterministic result by just including the whole desktop or at least the left edge in the layout. That's not the question. There are folks who have a left screen they don't want to have DCS draw on, so they can use it for other stuff.
Hi derammo, i am trying to achieve and understand very much what you are asking for and have had no luck. I also want to have other "stuff" displayed on part of my left screen. to make it more complicated, that screen is also my secondary monitor as my touch screen has to be my primary monitor in order for it to work.
have you had any further luck? cheers!

Hello All,
I think I am quite the expert on Monitor.lua files and can move just about every view port to where I need it to be.
What I CANNOT achieve is to project the main game view in the middle of my secondary screen. This is what I am trying to achieve:
The Primary screen is a touch screen that I want to use for Helios. It doesn't really matter where it sits, as long as I can get ALL DCS views to sit in the middle of my whole screen setup. I would like to have space on either side of the GAME view to open other files and software.
Can anyone help?
-
Gents,
did you have any luck with this?
I have 3 , 1920x1080 screen next to each other.
I want DCS to work in the middle of this setup, so that I have space on either side of the DCS window for other windows programs.
does the GUI view define where the whole game window starts? -

Good day,
I have a touch screen I want to use for Helios.
However, I seem to have a Windows problem. If you do not want to set the touch screen as primary monitor then there is, supposedly, a windows tool to set it as a touch screen. It is called calibrate for pen and touch input. This is missing in my windows version and I wondering if anyone know how i can install it, or use it?
How do I get windows to recognise my touch screen without setting it as the primary monitor?
Cheers!

@sobe thanks a lot! much appreciated
