Damn that's a stunning update. Quick question though, Is the ejection handle going to be a standalone product or is it only available with the seat mounted stick? I'm planning on getting your TM F18 and Quite possibly the F14 Handle but my stick is already centre mounted, and I don't really want to have to replace the entire setup, The ejection handle though would make a fantastic addition. Also any idea what price range the ejection handle would be looking at? Quickily off topic sorry, The waiting time for the Huey collective is increasing daily, If you want one and have the money, I would order now and get yourself on the list. I ordered mine last month ;) Cowboy10uk

Just stunning work mate, thankyou very very much for taking the time for doing it. Downloaded onto the iPad ready for next flight. Cowboy10uk

Mmmmmm ok mate, I'll delete and re download and install. Sorry I did forget to say, it's when I start in the slick and then add weapons once in sim via rearm menu. Not sure if that would make a difference. Not tried it starting fully loaded. Many thanks for testing though Cowboy10uk

Hi Abnaxus, just getting back into the Helios setup, after dismantling everything for space reasons, just installed V1.7 which looks great, however I seem to have an issue getting the weapon controls to work. All other switches work no problem, but the arm, weapon select, missile amount switches sadly don't move in sim when I'm using them on the profile, if I use mouse in sim then they work with no issues. Do we know if the key commands have changed since 1.7 was released or have I done something wrong? Any advice would be great fully received. Cowboy10uk

Hi guys, I'm currently using Helios when using the Huey, live baits profile which allows me access to the switches. I also use Helios when flying the A10 and Blackshark, so because of that I use a resolution that covers both screens. However when using the AI menus when flying the Huey, these are displayed on the lower monitor behind the Helios panel. Is there anyway I can move the panels so they display on my main monitor, without changing the resolution? I'm guessing it will be a similar process to moving the A10 and Blackshark panels, however I downloaded a profile which moved them and I've no idea where to start with regards to the Huey panels. Can anyone help? Cowboy10uk

Yes mate, tried both. 16:9 Cowboy10uk Edit : it's ok forget this, I was being an idiot. Didn't look under the weapons button, which brings those switches up. All good. Sorry bout that.

Hi guys, currently trying this profile and it see,s to work great. The only issue I seem to have is like the photo on the first post here, my ignition and rocket switches are too low down on the screen to allow me access. Is there something I'm missing or some button I need to press to pull that bottom panel up. Cowboy10uk

Yes, contacted them a fortnight ago, as I wanted another mount for my G27. Replied within 12hrs and I had the mount within 48hrs. Never had an issue I always use this address. wheelstandpro@wheelstandpro.com Cowboy10uk

Woohoo, that's not too far past my own setup. This is gonna be stunning. To be fair, it's the multicrew that's got me the most excited. Can't wait to fly her with full multicrew. Cowboy10uk

Just a stunning news letter well done guys. That Vegas video was mindblowing, but what were the PC specs, rather concerned my current PC that runs dcs world at the mo fine, may start struggling with all those buildings. IF. You've managed to keep the specs the same, that is some programming right there. Can't wait to enjoy the Huey on that map. Cowboy10uk

Cheers S1man, that worked a treat. Everything now up and playing nicely. :) Damn I forgot how good this is. :) Cowboy10uk

Thanks for that, on that basis, I've connected my monitors and got Helios loaded up again, Lozs A10 profile is back up and running happily, just trying to get the BLackshark profile working now. Got all the monitors working, but I'll be damned if I can get the gauges to work at the mo :( Made sure the Blackshark inteface is looking at the right install and followed excatly the same steps as I took for the A10, when it worked fine. Ahh well. Off to bed before nights tonight, and I'll have a closer look tomorrow morn. Hopefully I'll be able to see where I've gone wrong, I'm sure it's somthing very simple indeed. Cowboy10uk HANGON - sorry just had a thought pop into my head as I was dropping off to sleep, am I right in thinking, I need make sure my export.lua is a combined one, KA50 and A10, as just by setting them up in Helios as I have been doing today while only output to one aircraft. Mmmmm ok I think I remember having to do something similar last time.

Hi guys, after 18 months away or so from using Helios and a tri screen setup, I'm getting a strong urge to reset it all up. Mainly after showing a old video of it working, the reaction from my workmates is that is absolutely amazing, and realising that yes it was excatly what I was after, and why on earth did I dismantle it all. ( well that was to try the DK2, I know, but why did I dismantle the entire setup for hardware that wasn't ready to replace it ) Anyway Im sat here, looking at all my old monitors in the corner of the room, and wondering if I could get the old setup back. So the most important question I guess I need to ask, is A. Does Helios still work with the latest DCS Build, as I'm aware Gadroc has moved on from Helios? B. Has anyone managed to get any other craft working with it, I've got profiles for the KA50 and A10 which were perfect, and a workable profile for the UH1 which at least allows access to most of the switches but not working instruments. Would be stunning to get profiles for every modules I have. ( I.E. All of them ;) ) Basically, do you guys think it's worth me, pulling all the cabling back out of the attic, and getting this setup again? As I appreciate its not a two minute job. Cowboy10uk

+1. :lol: Cowboy10uk

Hey, if he's well enough to tell us, he's got Bronchitis, he's well enough to get on and get the report out. ;) All joking aside, take it easy and get well soon mate, I know there's some bloody awful bugs floating around at the mo. I think a few bottles of whisky, purely for medicinal purposes you understand, may be in order. ;) Cowboy10uk

Well Best things come to those who wait. :) We have to remember this isn't Richs full time job, I understand he's actully a full time helicopter pilot ( lucky sod ), so obviously he can only work on these on his down time. That said I've met and spoken with Rich several times as well as tried out his cyclic and collective at the Weston Flight sim show. They really are great products, hoping to get the Huey collective ordered myself later this year. I appriciate I will have to wait a number of months to get it, but I also know it will be worth it.

It's certainly going to be an intresting time, and now other companies are on the scene snapping at the heals of Occulus, then maybe they will pull their finger out and finally get the headset out to the public. I'm fairly sure for most of us and certainly myself, this tech is too new to have a Favourate manufactor that you are prepared to wait for and only buy their products. It's still a very open market, and to be honest I couldn't care less what company produces the VR headset, so long as it provides me with a working resolution where I can read my instruments and spot the target at the same clearness that I currently have with my monitor, and has 1 to 1 head tracking that is at least as good as the DK2, and of course the price and pc requirements are reasonable, I.E. Not having to run a flight sim at 120 fps, then that's the one I'm gonna buy. Vice is certainly very intresting and one I'm certainly gonna be watching closely, the Oculus Rift is of course a great peice of kit, but it does need to significantly upgrade the resolution and reduce the FPS needed to make it useful to us. No point have a $300 VR headeset if I need to spend $2000 on Graphic cards just to get the damn think to work correctly. The one thing that the DK2 has got right already and dosnt need changing is the head tracking. That is damn right perfect already. :) Cowboy10uk

A stunning list for all of us, can I just ask though about one, UH1 Huey V2 - IVR never heard of the Huey getting redeveloped, may I ask where this info came from, and if we have any more info on it. Very very exciting if it's true. Cowboy10uk

Intresting, never heard of a V2 being developed. Finders crossed Belsimtek will pop on here to confirm or deny soon, rather than keep us in suspense. Cowboy10uk

Can't say that I have, although I do tend to turn my graphical settings from high to low when using the DK2 to crank up the FPS. Cowboy10uk

No Rush, we are not going anywhere mate, and of course, we are talking about F18 Throttle and Grips here. I think we have a bit of time to play with before she turns up in the hangar. ;) I'm just loving reading these updates every week or so. The best things come to hose who wait. Cowboy10uk

Polaris sir, you are a damn genius, I can't believe how easy those profiles are to use, been flying around in the Blackshark for the last 2 hours, hell I've not flown that helo since god knows when :) Tomorrow, I'll be trying out the Huey and the FW190 I think. Thanks again. Cowboy10uk

Been staying away from these disappointed as for some reason was convinced they were target only and I don't use it. How surprised I was to read on a previous post that they are for DCS Direct, what a fantastic surprised. Downloaded and installed straight away. A huge THANKYOU, I can't wait to try these later tonight. Oh happy happy days. Cowboy10uk

Sorry guys been rather a long while, I'm using a Warthog. :)

Hi guys, I'm trying to get my Brothers Blackshark installed in DCS world so we can fly it again, however ever since we switched over to DCS world, he has never been able to get his Blackshark 1 and Blackshark 2 upgrade to work. It keeps returning the incorrect key error shown above. Has anyone got a clue how to get it working, I've sent a PM to Razvedchik but don't know if he's still about. Will be great to have Him flying with me again. Cowboy10uk
