True i haven't tried testing the exact frame rate i'm loosing but with helios running it is def slower. Not sure it thats because i have to run DCS in windowed mode and for helios you have to run windows with aero active. Another reason is i also use FSX which doesn't like Aero etc. Now in FSX i can use panel builder on a seperate laptop. I have to keep messing about with swapping the 2nd monitor over as a extended monitor with DCS and a seperate monitor with FSX so it's more to do with standardising my setup rather than performance. I'm sure someone on a forum posted you can export the gauges from DCS over a network just can't found out how to do it. Be interesting to know how many are using helios as i think there will be a new version soon.

I have a dual monitor setup and am using the excellent Helios. Both monitors currently run off 1 PC but for performance issues i would like to run the Helios on a laptop i have. I have a home network with both the PC and Laptop connected through a router. My question is how do i set DCS to export the gauges etc to the laptop across the network. I'm guessing i need to set up some IP parameteres somewhere. Probably the export LUA but i'm not sure what to add or change. I can't seem to find info regarding this. If anyone has the answer or a link to some info that would be great. Regards Darren

Thanks for the advice guys but i have already tried the switches suggested. I will continue to investigate what i'm doing wrong.

Hello All, Just getting back into DCS BS and i'm having a bit of a headache with one problem. Its the ATC. I have set up a mission with just myself sitting at Sochi Adler and have followed the startup procedure (switch on vhf2 etc) but when i request startup clearance i hear myself speaking but i dont get an answer. Same with takeoff clearance. I have the radio connected to ground crew ok and can connect external power. Just no reply on the ATC channel.I know i have to taxi to the runway to get takeoff clearance but when i request it i still get no reply. I expect its something im doing wrong. Dont remember having this problem before.
