Leavu Misbehavin! Running Win7 64bit. Up to date version of Java 32 bit!!! Anyone have any suggestions to get LeavuEri_2.1 working on Steam based FC3? However, I also have A-10C module as stand alone, so how does Leavu, determine the path to the app? I understand the export folder is in the app saved games subfolder for stand-alone, does Steam and Stand-alone module share the export.lua file? For me Leavu starts only displays three available instruments: MFD HUD ADI After clicking "No Frame" a moveable sizable window pops up, after positioning and sizing the "Add" button doesn't appear to do anything, no active window appears. I tried running as Administrator but the result was the same, as normal user. I suspect a path problem or older version of Java perhaps. Appreciate any help. LaLa

One technique used by Helios to interact with DCS World is through the use of "Send Keys", essentially this means that all the Keyboard bindings can be used by Helios to change parameters in DCS World just as if you pressed the keys combinations in DCS World. See below for a list of key combinations that can be used with "Send Keys" Note: DCS World will make a local "web page" copy of all these commands by clicking the "Make HTML" button. Below is a profile containing one panel, containing a rotary encoder. Below the panel alone with the Rotary Encoder selected in layers. Note bindings added while on the properties tab. Bindings are made by dragging the "send keys" and dropping on "encoder incremented" or "decremented" followed by entering the appropriate values. Note the value source is Static One saved this Helios profile is capable of dimming the back panel lights of....ooops Ka50. Text Keys which will be sent to the foreground applications. Below are some brief instructions for using Action Values in Helios Action Values Whitespace separates key combos allowing multiple keystroke commands to be sent. "{LCONTROL}c" will hold down the left control and press c while "{LCONTROL} c" will press and release left control and then press and release the c. Special keys can be sent by using there names in brackets, ex: {BACKSPACE}, {CLEAR}, {PAUSE}, {TAB}, {RETURN}, {RSHIFT}, {LSHIFT}, {L&RCONTROL}, {L&RALT}, {NUMPAD0-9}, {F1-F24}, {UP}, {DOWN}, {END}, {HOME} many more. The some of images used in this tutorial were borrowed from Capt Zeen's profile, one must respect the effort he has put into his well designed profiles, I recommend support both Helios Gadroc and Capt Zeen for their contributions to our passion.

I've just completed a tutorial on use of "Keys Keys" with Helios, and thought people should know that remapping DCS keyboard shortcuts may cause loss of functionality of Helios, since it uses those short cuts to communicate with DCS. Most people probably don't re-map their keyboard short-cuts, but just something to be aware of. LaLa

That's what I first thought too, but my attempts to reset monitors from within Helios didn't work, I can tell it to exchange monitors 1 and 2 but they dont change. If I place 1 monitor over the other they do change, it the Windows setup has changed. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, always glad to hear of an easier way! As a side note: I see that when my Dell monitor first turns on at boot (1st thing displayed on the screen...before Windows has started) it says "Auto Select DVI-I" Maybe hardware or monitor driver selection.

Helios want your monitor to be 1 on the left and 2 on the right, this sometimes is inconvenient depending on monitor size, shape, etc. If you have a problem with how Windows assigns numbers to your monitors you may be able trick Windows by doing the following. Windows seems to assign the number 1 monitor to the fastest latest technology. HDMI > DVI-D > DVI-I > VGA I was able to use an adapter to connect my DVI-I output to a VGA in, on my old monitor, now it is number 2. Prior to this the old monitor was identified as 1 because the input cable was HDMI. My newer monitor, connects directly using DVI-D. So it would seem the cable determines monitor numbering, where cable types differ. A DVI-D connector on a graphics card sends out a digital signal only, while a DVI-I connector, which carries both an analog and digital signal, can send out a digital signal (for digital displays such as flat panel LCD monitors) as well as analog signal (for older displays such as a CRT monitor) using a DVI to VGA adaptor shown below. The DVI-I connector contains more pins than the DVI-D connector. The extra pins on a DVI-I connector carry the analog signal which the DVI-D connector does not have. DVI-D and DVI-I connections shown below. There is also a bios video priority setting , which may or may not be helpful.

I wanted to post a web based step by step tutorial on use of Helios with DCS A10 using pictures, is this possible on this site? I didnt want to create an easily copied PDF for the WIKI. If possible, what are the photo dimension and file size constraints. LaLa

Below for DCS A10, Win 7, and Thrustmaster Warthog Control of hidden panels is easy with Helios and HOTAS input (single button press) from Warthog, but how to add a CTRL + HOTAS POV or similar to control Helios hidden panels.

Thanks so much! After your comment regarding modules, I just modified my MonitorSetup.lua and AN_ALR69V_init.lua as per [FSF]Ian and now everything in my Helios 2nd monitor cockpit works perfectly.

Thanks John, that got it!! I tried a different monitor configuration file without RWR_SCREEN = { x = 1000; y = 1245; width = 170; height = 170; } Bingo lit up right away! Must be incompatibility with system name RWR_SCREEN! Thanks for the feedback, I didnt expect that secondary monitor export to corrupt the primary monitor 3D cockpit, but it did!

RWR test Thanks everyone for the suggestions, still no luck, I get shot down. Must be something basic, like game play options or something. See my mission I created with Osa (SA-8 ) or a Tor (SA-15.) set to ALERT = RED, but I still only get missile launch. My jammer says off (near RWR) but at the CMS panel it IS turned on (middle position) RWR says on too, maybe not really ON, since Jammer switch in ON position but displays OFF on display by RWR, the surely the jammer wouldnt effect the detection and RWR display. testRWR.miz

I'm a noobie, and just built a new cockpit with Helios... so fun. Anyway my new cockpit has a RWR and I wanted to test it, sure easy just fly over a SAM... wrong! I built a mission (starting in the air) placed a S6 – 2S6 “Tunguska” there, but it shot me down (they were not asleep) and had no in detection other than the red missile launch light. What no radar? Same experience in the Quick Mission: East Georgia Spring Easy, at the bridge. RWR is ON MWS is Active The 3D cockpit gauge is dark not lit...... Seems such a simple task, wazzup

OK, great I found this Obviously I do need those interfaces but how do I add them to Helios? Ok getting there! Page 23 of Helios Users Guide https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=70879&d=1348447459 OK got the DCS Interfaces visible in Helios now, progressing. Wow this is great! Very versatile, but now how to change the background template with a button click? Maybe place .png template as hidden object and toggle visibility for different templates depending on objects visible on screen!

Helios Triggers and Bindings Helios working great for me on DCS 1.5XX and Windows 7. I'm trying to add a dummy button in my cockpit, that when click will allow another panel to become visible. This works great for my right and left consoles etc but I need another. Easy to place the panel and a dummy button but how to trigger the visibility of the hidden panel with click of the button on the dummy panel Where is the Triggers list? What are you actually dragging? Dont see Airspeed changed. Where is the binding point? Are these the interfaces referenced below? https://github.com/Gadroc/helios/tree/master/Helios/Interfaces Do I need to use this, to accomplish what I want to do? Answer NO dont need these just add interface to profile from the Profile menu item...Add Interface. Could anyone expand on use of triggers and bindings! As seen in image below my only interfaces are Profile and Keyboard, should something else be displayed here? http://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxbF0egbrdnHT09TZ2R5MHp4dkU Any help greatly appreciated. :)
