Thanks for this thread OP. I have been on the fence with this for a long time, primarily because of what it will cost to upgrade, and the uncertainty of what headset to get. All of this chatter seems to be revolving around Single player activity, yes? If so, is there a more concerning impact when it comes to running in Multiplayer? I ask because that is primarily what I do. Thank you,

download Capt Zeens F-18 Helios profile and extract it. Open the readme file and there are instructions in there you may have to read over a few times to get the picture, but it is very helpful. Search Youtube for DCS Helios,,, there are a few great tutorials. This takes time! ALOT of time to figure out, but once you get it figured out, its well worth it in my opinion.

I have to respectfully request the same for JTAC timer sir. It takes a long time to get 1 set for it to be gone in an hour. I'm sure you have reasons, but it would be greatly appreciated if you considered extending that time to 2-3 hours perhaps?

Thanks Snacko & thrustvector

Im sorry I cant help you Snacko, I am interested myself in reviving this Profile as I just started flying the Huey again last week. I will be following this for development.

Glad I found this, thought it was my PC,,,,,,

Moving onto another matter, I have been unable to extract just the right & left DDI panels by themselves. I was in the midst of creating a new F18 profile that just has them, but they wont highlight by themselves to copy? I can do the UFC though? Is this because the DDIs are part of the entire front panel?

Is anyone using this Helios Profile in Open Beta successfully? Thanks

HUH! I did find that thread, but its read only? https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=170049

Yes, I did see that, but I had no idea what he meant to be honest. Modded the game? Sounds pretty deep to me. And yes, I will try and find that thread you referred to, this is getting outside of the realm of the F18 now. Thanks Snacko

Well, a quick couple of tests proved problematic as you mentioned there Snacko. Are we stuck in the mud here where we need a separate monitor config file for modules? Later I will delete all others and try to complile for just the F18 & Huey and see how that works. I dont know what to do about the duplicate MFCD statements?

I agree with you, oddly enough, when I last used this file about a year ago, those modules worked fine. Im not a coder, so I cant explain the functionality. I will have to run some tests but all I was trying to do at the moment was actually to get a common file to run the Huey and F18 for now. The others to follow at a later date. Maybe we cant do that anymore? Thanks for the advise though, I will peck at this over the weekend.

Thanks Snacko, the unit comment made me realize I was using the obsolete file, I found the last version that IO used a year ago and pasted the F18 info into it from Capt Loz and it exported fine it seems at this time. I am posting it up in case anyone else is having difficulty. Thanks

When I run the CaptZeen Monitor config file that he includes in his Profile, it works just fine. I have not used Helios in about 1 year, but when I did, I had a monitor config file that incorporated many modules, I have not run any of those in about a year so I honestly dont know if they work because I uninstalled the older version of Helios a couple of weeks ago to install the latest version of Helios. All I was trying to do is copy over the data from CaptZeens F18 Monitor Config file to my older one, but there are Lines in the old Monitor Config fille that IDENTIFY each Specific Aircraft. I tried to figure out what that line should state, but without looking at someone elses file, Im not sure. Thats all I need to see, is someone elses file that has the F18 and at least one other module.

Is anyone else running an all in one MonitorSetup.lua so you can have a variety of modules running under 1 roof? If so, I am trying to add the FA-18C module by adding it to my existing all inclusive monitorsetup.lua, but I think I gaffed it! If I could take a peek at someone elses I would be able to figure out what I am doing wrong, thanks.

This profile works just fine for me, however, I already have a "MonitorSetup" config file that allows alot of other different modules to use 1 single file for Helios, I just want to ADD the F-18 to it, but I did that and its not working. Can someone post up their Monitor Config.lua if you have the F-18 and other modules in the same file. I will then likely see what I am doing wrong.Thanks

:notworthy:

I agree, this is a complicated learning curve as the instructions are scattered about. I had to do alot of Google searching to figure this out. Youtube has good Introductions to Helios setup, and the Readme file that is included if this F18 profile will lead you in the right direction.

In OpenBeta, type "104" in the search box

Thank you Opy!

BUMP,, anyone have these top share? Thanks,

I know I am rusty, but I cant seem to figure out why I cant take Capt Zeens F-18 profile and fit it to my screen size? Using "Reset Monitors" in Helios did not work, nor did clicking on the graph then "Control-A" then holding shift to try and drag the graph and stretch it to the left, it wont move? Any help would be appreciated.

Outside of the original 2 Youtube tutorials on how to install Helios, I am looking to get back in the game with the new version of Helios(I have not used Helios in about a year). is there a summary of revised instructions on what I need to change or add in addition to what is indicated in the Youtube tutorials? Im talking stuff like what lines need to be in the .lua, any other objects that need to be added to the new Helios file to get instruments etc? Thanks,

Will- that is just SO invalid

Thanks,, I was expecting to see this from a VR perspective,, I mis interpreted the point I suppose,, but thanks
