Why do I keep getting a low rpm warning when I go into a hot Apache and try to hover? When I am in the CPG seat and try to control the Apache with George, I get the George command circle and George's voice, but the Apache does not go up. What am I doing wrong?

Bunny Sorry to keep bothering you, but when I first open my Apache profile, your interface does not appear on a shortened list. If I open a new profile, your interface appears on a longer list. So how do I get the two to work together? In the module format, do I put helios drivers generated by this interface or basic telemetry only? In the DCS vehicle do I put AH-64D or your DCS AH-64D? In either instance, your interface does not appear.

Just checked and I think it might have been added with the update that recently happened. It seems that this will make life easier.

Bunny I downloaded your json file but could not find it on the interface list. Where do I initially place it?

That is a massive project to do so quickly

Bunny Clark Are you using the generic interface from CZ?

SparrowHawk I thought it was in the zip. Don't let the names confuse you. sound.ap.10.bak sound.ap.10.hpf sound.ap.10.hply

For the time being, I have left my Helios profile such that in the CPG seat, my second screen has the CPG MFDs and TMU. In the pilot seat, I have to use the MFDs from the game cockpit with zoomed snap views making them more readable and usable.

I am having issues saving my Apache controller profile in the saved games>config>input>AH-64D_BLK_II_PLT. I don't know where this folder came from but I think it was created by DCS. So where is the CPG folder? I also tried to save to Saved Games> inputuserprofiles with the same bad result. For the time being, I am using the folder in the DCS main folder for aircraft>AH-64D>input>AH-64D_PLT, but I have to save this folder each time there is an update. Is anyone else having these issues?

Attached is my monitor config file for the pilot ((1920x1080) x 2), my changes to the init lua files to enable the exporting of the view ports and the Helios profile. Note that the Helios profile does contain a sound file which is discussed in the Capt Zeen Discord>Helios support>march 14th>look for my discuss with Linknet. If the zip does not work, i can load the separate files. ZIP.zip For the time being, I have left my Helios profile such that in the CPG seat, my second screen has the CPG MFDs and TMU. In the pilot seat, I have to use the MFDs from the game cockpit with zoomed snap views making them more readable and usable.

Today's experiment. I renamed the MFDs of the CPG and kept the current names of the Pilot MFDs. However, nothing changed. I am going to put together a zip file of everything I have done so others can try their own experiments. Someone did get the Pilot MFDs to appear in Helios, but I have not yet been able to do so.

Horus. Could you please explain what you did to the CPG MFDs

First Helios test results It appears that for the view ports, there has to be one set for the Pilot and another set for the CPG. For example, I have the MFDs and the TDU working fine for the CPG but when I go into the pilots seat, the TDU does not show up and the MFDs that show up in the pilot seat are those of the CPG and not of the pilot. Further testing required. Subsequent testing. It appears that until a mod like the lantirn mod for the F14 is developed, only the CPG will be able to view the TMU (the middle screen). In the CPG seat, everything appears to work. HOWEVER, IN THE PILOT SEAT, the export files appear to only pick up the MFDs for the CPG and not those of the pilot. The result is that when you are in the Pilot seat in the Helios profile, you are only getting the MFDs of the CPG. However, the MFDs of the pilot work fine in the actual game cockpit. I am not sure why the export file is only exporting the CPG MFDs and not those also of the Pilot. One possible explanation is that alphabetically, cpg comes before pilot and therefore it only picks up the cpg mdfs. I tried to name the MFDs differently for the pilot and gunner, but that did not solve the problem. Here is the CPG Helios profile.

Mapi Was your keyboard view port that was exported, just the top part of the keyboard or the entire keyboard? As you can see from my Helios profile, I had assumed that only the top part was exportable? What lua file did you use for the TEDAC? Have you tried to export the flare and chaff count in the CMS?

pellelil It is going to take me some time to digest your profile and integrate it with my Helios profile. However, I like the diagram of the HOTAS and would like to get a copy of the diagram without the keys labeled. Did you make this yourself or is it on the net? Thanks.

A little to early to celebrate. I cannot get into Options>kneeboard profiles>modify so I cannot set up an apache profile. I don't believe it but after I sent the below message I deleted the config file and now this program works. Here is the error. The problem seems to be in the line System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\13057\Saved Games\Mods\aircraft'. which is obviously the wrong location as it leaves out DCS world openbeta. Here is my kneeboard config file and it has the right location. <add key="SavedGamesPath" value="C:\Users\13057\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta" /> So for some reason the program is not picking up the correct line in the config file.

If you can still use this mod, you are very lucky. Whenever I try to load it, I get the same error and it dies. I really miss this mod.

Floyd1212 Good idea but it does require a third party software or target. I have gone another way. I use a shift (modifier) key and a switch key. By using both types of keys, you can theoretically get 16 commands on a 4 way button. When I do the diagramming for this, the black print is regular, red is shifted, green is regular-switched and green/red is shifted-switched. You do need to dedicate a key for shifting (I use the lever on the joystick for shifting and centering my Trackir) and a key for the switch command (which I will use to switch to the cockpit of the CPG). Fortunately, a number of commands are duplicated for the Pilot and CPG so that makes diagramming a little cleaner.

Apache 64 Please do.

Attached is my "gold" version of the Apache profile prior to the official release of the module. Obviously, until the actual key commands are released, this profile is only a guess as what the buttons/switches do. I ended up putting a number of commands located on the HOTAS on the lower left portion of the profile. These commands do not seem to be needed to fly the helio and therefore, do not seem to be needed on the HOTAS. By doing so, and by my using both shift and switch DCS commands, I was able to place all of the remaining buttons and switches described in the manual that are located on the HOTAS on my WH TM HOTAS. This includes the commands for George, changing the cockpit for the pilot/CPG and the TEDAC.

I just noticed a separate folder titled InputUserProfiles located at Saved Games>dcs.openbeta>InputUserProfiles . I normally place my profiles for my HOTAS etc in the folder DCS.openbeta>Config>Input>MODULE.NAME. What is the difference in the two folders and which one is correct for a DCS module and for a community mod module?

The latest version. I added some controls for the UFC in the lower right and cleaned up some of the other stuff. I am hoping to put some buttons in the lower left that would otherwise go on the overloaded HOTAS.

Dumb as a rock. Please give me an example.

Bailey Where is DcsInstalLocation located or do you create one and if so, where?
