  1. I used the 3rd party app reshade and boost the color green brightness in DCS. This worked well enough.
  2. It has been years since I used Helios. I downloaded the latest version and was able to set up a profile for the DCS F18 , which was easy enough to do. What works seems to be the 3 MFD's, the UFC and the IFEI. What doesn't work is any of the gauges and the RWR. My monitor configuration has 3 Touchscreens under my main monitor where I would like to export the DCS cockpit data to. I am doing this using the built in gauges and viewports in HELIOS. HELIOS says nothing is wrong with my profile but the gauges and RWR do not work. I must be missing something or Helios is having some sort of problem with the latest version of DCS (2.7..). I have attached my setup and HELIOS profile. Can someone give me hand and point me in the right direction to fix? Just one other thing, my MFD viewports were very dim. I used the third party program reshade to boost green colors. This makes the MFD export to my monitors usable. Is there a better way to boost the brightness of the MFD exports or are we waiting on a fix from ED? Thanks Walt Watson F18-FA-C.hpf
  3. I haven't had any problems. I am using 4 USB screens. I have been learning A10C with this setup for weeks now and all is good...
  4. What did you do? Buy something from the boneyard.... Nice setup! I wish I something like that sitting in my house!
  5. Thanks YoYo for the profile! I had implemented in my setup. I used your MFDcougar profile as wallpaper on my screens. I use this setup for DCSA10C, KA50 and Falcon BMS. It will be better if Helios would support Mig21 then I would have active gauges. Right now I have a active radar window. Thanks for the TM MFD Cougar and Warthog profile! Doc60
  6. Here is a mini pit I use for A10c. I thought I would share it with the group. I am looking for comments and suggestions on possible improvements to the set up. Features: 1) AMD RADEON driven triple monitor set up for the simulator. 2) A fourth monitor on the triple screen simulator computer for export of MFD's, RWR and CMSC as well as a custom HELIOS profile. 3)A second computer which drives the 4 touch screens since the display port driver for the USB touch screens proved incompatible with the AMD Radeon setup. 4)I used TightVNC server and viewer apps to send the simulator computers fourth monitor information over my LAN to a secondary computer which drives the USB touchscreens. Both MFD's, RWR, CMSC as well the HELIOS profile. 5) TightVNC also allowed me to send my touch inputs from the USB screens over the LAN to the HELIOS profile on the simulator computers fourth monitor. Touching a button on the touchscreen clicked it on HELIOS profile on the simulation computers 4th screen which then sent it on to the simulator. Everything works with no delays or stuttering. The MFD's render just fine and the gauges are all active and my touch inputs are recognized. It's a lot of fun flying the A10c simulator this way. I cobbled together a custom Helios profile from Gadroc's and Loz's profiles. I used there hidden RADIO,UFC, and CDU panels on the larger central touchscreen. The editor made it easy to adapt their already excellent profiles to this setup. One other application I used was Border Stripper which allowed removal of the window borders around the TightVNC viewer windows. So with this hardware setup I had I managed to export a pit over the LAN. I also have done a Black Shark pit this way and it works great. Constructive comments and suggestions welcome! I am sort of new to this virtual pit scene, I imagine there is a lot more to it than what I did here. Doc60
  7. Hello everyone, I set up the DCS AC10c v1.27 (latest patch as of this date (02/22/2014)) on a triple monitor screen using AMD's eyefinity. Using a fourth screen I exported both the left and right MFD's to it per the instructions on the DCS developers journal website. My intention was to use the Iris screen viewport utility to send the information to another computer which I used to drive all 4 of my touchscreen monitors. After this was working I was going to implement Helios. This all works but I keep getting Microsoft.Net framework Unhandled exception errors: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit the application will close immediately. A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself." Is there a setting I need to change to keep this from happening? I found that if I hit the esc key the program will keep running and it successfully exported the MFD information to my touch screens. Pretty neat. But the error notices keep on sporadically popping up during flight. The size of the MFD windows I exported are 550x480 pixels each. Nice rendering size for my 700x480 touch screens. Any help would be appreciated. I am new to this and I was surprised I got it working at all. Doc60
