I'm not sure if you're referring to my pictures of the Huey panel, but if so and you're talking about the set of white squares in the middle of the left column then no, that is not a keyboard. In the Huey center console there is a radio that has preset channels and that is simply a placard where the technician that programmed the channels would label what frequency is assigned to which channel. This is simply a display item on my panel for completeness. Highspeed

Here's the alpha 0.1 release of my Huey Panels for LEA Hey guys, I've attached a quick and dirty package of my files for the LEA Huey input panels. Please review the readme.txt file as it has some important notes. Of particular note - I have included an updated default.lua file that has the Input Configuration mapping updates necessary to fix the incorrectly mapped circuit breaker (CB) input fields. Without it, you would have to match up the CB inputs to the actual panel one-by-one on a trial and error basis. For example, in the Input Configuration screen in DCS World if you were to map a button to a specific CB you that button would activate a different CB that what the input description says. (e.g. the HOIST POWER CB input would activate the NAV LIGHTS CB instead!) The included default.lua file will fix the mapping so that there are no surprises. Also bear in mind, I built this and tested it on a 4.5" cell phone screen. It should work fine on a tablet, too. In fact it will probably be even better on a larger screen. Let me know if you have any issues. Anyway, I wanted to get this out to you. Let me know how it goes. The screens are built to be run in "Portrait" mode so you may have to poke around in LEA to get that set up. I'm not sure if the Import of the .ppk file will set that for you. I'm going to start a new thread for this project but until then, I'll be watching here for comments or you can IM me. Thanks, Highspeed DCSWorldUH-1HLEAPanels.zip

UPDATE: The last CB (Ignition System) now works. It was 0.64 for the "value_down" value. This makes sense in a 4X16 panel configuration. It looks like this panel has gone through various stages in development and some of the items got moved around? The additional three CBs in the upper row were possibly moved from some of the six empty locations on the four rows. These empty slots minus the additional 3 in the upper row account for the three missing values (0.15, 0.17 and 0.46) from the table in the default.lau configuration file. In any case, my panel is 100% working now. No work-around fudging to get the CBs mapped correctly. Highspeed

Hi folks, Love flying the Huey! I've made a lot of progress in my skills and almost feel that I might be able to fly the real thing. :megalol: Anyway, on to the issue. I've been working with a program called LEA Extended Input to build input panels for controlling most of my console functions via an Android device (cell phone for now but looking for my tablet which would be a more appropriate size.) I've built the Center Console and Overhead Panel screens and programming all the buttons to respond to joystick buttons. LEA adds four "virtual joysticks", each with 8 axis inputs and 128 button inputs for a total of 32 axis and 512 buttons! Here's where the challenge came in. I've included the circuit breaker panel and wanted to make that usable for managing those devices as well. (I know, ultra-geeky but what can I say - I like realism!) Well, in programming all of the buttons I discovered that the input configuration mapping was incorrect! Mind you, this is not a button to input configuration item error, but it is an input item to actual function issue. For example, I map a button to the "HOIST POWER" circuit breaker but when I activate that button in the sim, it would activate (toggle) the "NAV LIGHTS" circuit breaker instead. There were also three breakers that would not work at all even though they are listed in the configuration page and I can map buttons to them. These are: HEATED BLANKET 2, VOLT METER NON ESS BUSS, and IGNITION SYSTEM IGNITER SOL. I have fixed most of these issues and wanted to pass on my findings so that it can be corrected in future releases. The fix was an edit to the default.lua file in the ..\Mods\Aircraft\UH-1H\Input\UH-1H folder. Below are two snippets from this file - the first is the original file and the second is my modifications. Notice that each configurable input has a numeric value and each is associated with "Button_18" so my guess is that Button_18 is an array with each member represented by the numeric value. 0.0 would be the first item in the array, 0.01 would be the second and so on.

able to get all the functioning breakers correctly mapped. Then I started tackling the ones that would not function and found two of the three that had higher numbers - specifically 0.61 for the HEATED BLANKET 2 and 0.62 for the VOLT METER NON ESS BUS. I tried 0.63 for the IGNITION SYSTEM IGNITER SOL but that did not work. Looking further at the panel layout shows that it might be 0.64 (4 rows of 16 CBs) or 0.80 (5 rows if you count the top row with 3 CBs and the RADAR ALT switch with each row having 16). I'll try those two values and if not successful I'll start counting up (to a reasonable number) until I find the right one that makes this work if there is one.

trouble with but again, I'm going to experiment with different values to see if I can find one that works. Also note that there are three numbers that have been skipped; namely 0.15, 0.17 and 0.46. These were originally assigned to these three breakers that did not function under mapped input control. So at this point, I have about a 97% functional CB panel on my LEA input screen. Hope this helps the devs at Belsimtek improve their product. Thanks, Highspeed

Sure can! It's still a work in progress, but I've moved it forward quite a bit in the last couple of days. The circuit breakers in the Huey are working components and I have them running on the LEA panel. I'm still testing all the functionality and I had some challenges with getting the right ones to respond to my inputs. Come to find out, the assignments were programmed wrong in the Huey module within DCS! Found the LUA file that had those mappings and fixed it so there's a couple of files that will need to be added to your DCS install to fix this. I'd like to include the button mappings in my distribution package but I'm not sure how best to go about doing that yet. Assuming that you have some understanding of the LEA Extended Input system, you know that it creates four virtual joysticks but the naming is odd. It seems to use some sort of GUID designation in the device name and that may change from machine to machine. So it's not a simple matter of copying a definitions file into your user/saved games folder. Could you do me a favor and let me know what the exact names of your virtual joysticks are so I can compare to mine? In the meantime, I'll work on packaging up a distribution file I can send to you. It may be a day or two with the holidays but I'd love to get your input on it. Thanks, Highspeed

So I've gotten the LEA Extended Input program and have been spending some time getting familiar with it. Now I'm working on panels for the UH-1H Huey! Coming along nicely, but still very early alpha. However, I want to share a couple of screen shots with you (hope you don't mind me "hi-jacking" this thread). I've captured each of the individual sub-panel images for the Center Console and the Overhead Panel and placed these as a background image for each of the panels I used to create each screen. Next I added the buttons and edited them for the correct panels. (Actually, the buttons came first for a quick layout and test, but I've redone them since putting in the background images.) I'm making the buttons transparent with no labels so they become "hot-spots" on the screen and you can use the actual panels as guidance for where to touch. In the following images, you can see there are still quite a few buttons that are not transparent so you can compare to those that are to see what I mean. In the first screen (Center Console) the top half of the panel is done with transparent buttons as well as the intercom panel. The armament/countermeasures panels do not yet have buttons but they will. On the Overhead Panel, I'm even adding the circuit breakers and yes... they will be live! Additionally, the lighting controls (as well as some of the volume controls on the Center Console) will be sliders that will be usable via joystick axis control. One final note, I've turned off the top menu on all screens except the Misc. screen for more room to put stuff. I've left it on in the Misc. screen so that you can access the Edit button to exit the program. But the screens are selectable by buttons at the lower left of each page and the current page is indicated by "lighting" the appropriate button. Let me know your thoughts on this and if one of you wouldn't mind, I'd like to send the project file to test the distribution process for when the project is more ready for prime time. Highspeed

One USB. The throttle is physically detachable and has an interconnect cable to the main joystick but from the computer perspective, it is all one controller and all axis are assigned to this one controller. Highspeed

Already have one. I picked it up at Fry's Electronics. So far pretty good. One thing I did notice is that the slider can tend to stick slightly if you rest your hand to heavily on the handle. Lift up and it slides nice and smooth. Lots of nice four-way buttons and a full 8-way hat switch, but limited number of single buttons. However, two nice touches are a mini-joystick (x-y axis) and two extra axis ("rudder" axis and rotary non-centering input) to boot. Build quality seems around the same as the HOTAS X flight control system. Highspeed

Good starter setup to get you going with most everything you need to fly, but somewhat limited on input buttons so fighter setup will not be optimal. However, this system DOES have a rudimentary rudder axis built in so you can "get away" with not having rudder pedals, but it would be recommended to get a set if you can afford it. Two minor complaints I have: 1. The springs in the joystick are not very smooth and seem to sometimes "catch" (for lack of a better word) near the center of the movement. 2. The cable connecting the two separable parts (stick and throttle assemblies) is a bit too short for my liking. I also wish the throttle section was completely removable as I have since added the TWCS throttle and have an extra component just sitting around getting in the way since the cord connecting it is permanently fixed, at least without going inside the device to remove it. All in all, I'd say it's a worthwhile setup on a budget. Hope that helps, Highspeed

Works fine for me. Flying 2.0.3 almost exclusively at the current time. Have you verified that the Force Trim switch is turned on in the center console? Highspeed

Ok, thanks. I was hoping I WAS doing something wrong and I could operate it completely on an axis. Ah, well. Is there a "wish list" topic for the Huey? :music_whistling: Higshpeed

I'm checking this application out at the current time. Works great with my cell phone, but now I need to dig up my old tablet so I have some good screen real-estate to work with. Just getting started so it will be a bit. To answer your question, it looks to be wireless only at this time but if you have a method of making the USB work as an IP connection you may be able to get it working that way. YMMV, of course. Thanks for the tip on this one, zbmtwo! Highspeed

Am I doing something wrong then? I have to have buttons mapped since I cannot get the throttle (analog axis) to respond when I'm in cut-off (below the idle stop) so I have to throttle up via button until I'm past the stop then I can rotate further using the analog. Also, when coming back down to shut off the engine I can use the analog to bring it to idle stop, but when I release the idle stop I can only go lower with the throttle down button, not the analog. Yes, I've tried it without the button mappings and no joy. Cannot get the throttle to respond it's below idle stop. Highspeed

BTW, it was a simple matter of learning the comms menus. Once I figured that out, the F8, F2 was the right sequence. Still very much a NOOB here and you guys are awesome with providing assistance. Highspeed

Hve you had a look at their TFRP Rudder Pedals? Steel rails and seems to be linear bearings as well. This throttle looks like the same setup from what I can tell in the pics and it also looks like the pedals can plug directly into this for a unified single setup. Highspeed EDIT: The pedals actually would plug into the joystick depicted on one of the pictures (the "Gladiator" if I'm not mistaken) so the unified connectivity may or may not be an option after all depending on what stick you have.

Hey guys, Thanks again for your input. I've got it working now. I even tried it by doing a start-up with the throttle in the cut-off position to drain the batts a good bit, confirmed with the throttle in the idle stop position and no successful start. Then I called for ground power and it started. I even noticed the gauges showing a different reading when the ground power was connected. Cool stuff! Now to work on my stick control -- particularly in ground maneuvers -- and I should be set. Just looking to fly the Huey with command. Not much of a combat guy myself. But this all helped a lot so thanks so much. Highspeed

Hmmm, cannot seem to get this to work. Is it in the comms menus? If so, how do I communicate with the ground crew? Thanks for any additional assistance, Highspeed

I don't have the Saitek so I'm not sure exactly how that will work out. I have the ThrustMaster T.Flight HOTAS stick/throttle with the ThrustMaster T.Flight Pedal System. However, at the very least you will need to assign the axis movements to the cyclic fore/aft and the collective. You should also have a rudder axis available (it could be a twist grip on the joystick, but you will find it's more controllable with actual rudder pedals) otherwise it will be VERY difficult at best to control the helicopter. As for the key mapping, a lot of that is dependent on your style and preferences. I have the hat switch assigned to panning the view in any direction, some buttons on the throttle (collective) to run the throttle itself, a button combo to activate the idle stop release and another button for the starter. There are a few other miscellaneous commands as well. ONE NOTE: I was confused at first (fairly new to DCS in general) in that I configured the axis assignments in the general profile and didn't realize there are a different set of configurations for the individual aircraft so I had conflicting axis assignments at first. What I ended up doing is removing all axis assignments in the general configuration and set them up in each individual aircraft configuration. That way I have proper control setups no matter which aircraft I fly. Hope that helps, Highspeed

In the excellent Huey Guide by Chuck, he mentions the GPU on more than one occasion. I've also seen in discussion that you only get one, maybe two attempts at a start-up on the battery and you will otherwise need to use the GPU. But I cannot seem to find any GPU options either in the cockpit or in the controls setup menu. Does this actually exist in the sim and if so, how does one engage the GPU for start-up? I've had an occasion or two where I needed it (bad start-up procedure - missed items) but had to exit the mission and restart to get a fresh battery. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Hope I won't need it but it would be nice to know. Highspeed

I haven't found an aircraft yet (only the default ones, my purchases are terrain and helicopter) that DOES have a wheel brakes axis, particularly differential wheel brakes. Highspeed

Yep, that's what I found out. Ran the installer and it defaulted to a second directory. I let it run there and it copied files from the original instead of downloading it all as new. This lets me fly the old areas in 1.5 and Las Vegas in 2.0. I've been having a blast (missed the sale by 12 hours, arrrgh! :) ) but used my points from the Huey purchase and still got a great value. I've flown over the Hoover Dam (and did some hovering around it, too), did the "obligatory" Vegas Strip tour and then finally did some long range flying by instrument navigation. I also modified the default "Free Flight" Instant Action mission for a cold start on the ramp. I love realism and doing a start-up/shut-down is a big part of the simulation for me. In just over a week of flying this Huey, I've become quite familiar with the aircraft and am just about ready to go full simulation mode (been flying in game mode until now) and work on really honing in my skills. Now if only someone would let me fly the real thing... :music_whistling: :megalol: Anyway, thanks for the help guys. This is a great community. Highspeed

Excellent! Thank you, sir. Highspeed

Previous purchase questions... Hi! So I am new to the DCS World and just came into the forums today. Loving 1.5 and flying my newly purchased Huey! (Free-flight only right now, still learning a lot about it.) But I would like to get in on 2.0 so I can use the Nevada module, too. My questions are: 1. Is the Huey module compatible with 2.0? 2. I plan on running 1.5 and 2.0 as separate installs. Will I need to use an activation for the Huey when I set up 2.0 or will it recognize it being on the same computer and allow it to operate in either version? I appreciate any answers and hope to hear from someone soon as I'd like to get in on the weekend deal for the Nevada module for 50% off. Thanks in advance, Highspeed
