Nobody answering. I changed my hard drive recently. Made a fresh install of OS and everything. Installed DCS and Hellios, and the problem is still present. With BMS Helios works fine.

I can't make gauges to work with helios. And can't find the reason. I even made a test profile, with three instruments (altimeter, ADI and VVI) and the DCS F-16C_50 interface. But it does not work. Data is not exported. I have... - Latest version of Helios (1.6.6120.0002) - DCS F-16C_50 interface loaded and for example ADI pitch and ADI bank binded to the gauge. - No error on the interface status. - Export.lua file present and on folder C:\Users\rwros\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts -HeliosExport16.lua file present on folder C:\Users\rwros\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Helios - Visual C++ packages installed as described on this video I don't know what else to do. Viewports work fine, with other profile i made, but the gauges stay static. The only thing abnormal i see is that with all bindings i see on the PROPERTIES section the message "Disregarding Units - Scaling may need to be adjusted by another control or Lua script". But i have noh idea where te "adjust" that. On the video that i saw about creating profiles and gauges, that message does not apper on the video's author profile. I attache to images, one to show that i did the biding of pitch and bank on the ADI. The other show the message on the PROPERTIES section.

Great idea. Don't remember any sim from the past covering this scenario.

Hi, Does anynone know exactly which connector is it? The "Y" axis is dead, i want to make a new pcb and replace the ministick with an ALPS RKJXP microstick. I only need the conector type to make it pluggable and not having to deal with changing also the female conector (very thin and short wires). Thanks in advance!!!

Do you know which is the conector of the microstick pcb of the Cougar? It is a 6 pin male connector, JST for what i see, but i cant be sure if it is 1 mm pitch or 1.25 mm pitch. Or maybe it other type of conector?

It was. I just found out. Thanks for the help.

I can´t beleive that was the reason. It works now. I never imagined there would a keybind to export the mfd. It was no necesary with the other planes. I feel so stup......

Not sure i get what you are asking. On this folder C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit\MPCD\indicator I got a MPCD_init.lua MPCDL_init.lua MPCDR_init.lua On neither of those three files there is any "render purposes" or something similar to change. And as i said, Helios made some changes to lua files to get the MPCD extraction, and it works fine withe F16m F18 and A10. But not with the HArrier.

How you guys extract the MPCD? I can´t make it work the extraction to me seccond monitor, though it does work with the A10, F16 and F18. I tried changin te monitor setup lua files, and with helios, but neither of those method worked with the Harrier.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but i can´t extrac the MPCD image un a second monitore on the HArrier. It works well with the A-10, F-16 and F-18, But with the harrier i don´t get any image. I tried with the "LEFT_MFCD" and "RIGHT_MFCD" code lines on the lua file for monitor configuration, and it didn´t work. It did work on the other planes. Then i tried using Helios, using especific aircraft code lines on the lua file, and same result, noh image extracted, but it did work with the other planes. Is there something special to do to get MFCD extraction on the Harrier? Monitor Setup LUA file code ut be used with Helios: leftmonitorwidth = 1946 leftmonitorheight = 1080 centermonitorwidth = 1946 centermonitorheight = 1080 rightmonitorwidth = 1946 rightmonitorheight = 1080 intrumentmonitorwidth = 1600 intrumentmonitorheight = 900 F_16C_DED = { x = 5840+1125, y = 0, width = 300, height = 102 } F_16C_RWR = { x = 5840+220, y = 0, width = 256, height = 256 } F_16C_EHSI = { x = 5840+685, y = 669, width = 230, height = 230 } F_16C_LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5840+20, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 } F_16C_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5840+1175, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 } FA_18C_LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5840+20, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 } FA_18C_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5840+1175, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 } FA_18C_CENTER_MFCD = { x = 5840+1600/2-200, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 } FA_18C_IFEI = { x = 5840+1600/2-315, y = intrumentmonitorheight-564, width = 430, height = 167 } AV8BNA_LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5840+20, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 } AV8BNA_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5840+1175, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 } A_10C_LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5840+20, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 } A_10C_RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5840+1175, y = intrumentmonitorheight-395, width = 400, height = 400 } A_10C_RWR_SCREEN = { x = 5840+220, y = 0, width = 256, height = 256 } A_10C_CMSC_SCREEN = { x = 5840+634, y = 452, width = 334, height = 84 } Everything works, only exception is the harrier. Edit: spelling mistakes.

Starting with Helios, i manage to make my own F-18 profile working. Since i don´t have a touchscreen, i only need some instruments extraction. But i can´t do it with the F-16C, because there is none interface for the F16. How do you add working F-16 gauges in this case? I can add the Fuel Flow indicator, but i can´t assign it an INPUT to that indicator. Is it even possible?

Do you stille have ministick raplacements available? I want to buy two before February, since a friend is going to Spain on that month, and would like to send them to him. I sent you and email.

Hi, After reading a few post and pdf, and watching some video i managed to get DCS to work with my two monitors, and get the left, right and central MFCD on my right monitor. I want to add specific aircraft viewports to my custom made lua file, but i dont know and can´t find a library that tell me how are they called. For example Left MFCD sintax inside the lua file is "LEFT_MFCD" Right MFCD sintax inside the lua file is "RIGHT_MFCD" Center MFCD sintax inside the lua file is "CENTER_MFCD". Only available on the F-18. What about the HSI for the F-16? RWR for F-16? UFC for F-18, Harrier, F-16? Engine panel for Harrier? And so on..... Is there are a library for this? Can i get this info from a specific file on the DCS folder for each aircraft or in general? Just in case, i run several searchs on the forum, but couldn´t find anything. Thanks in advance.

Awesome, thanks for sharing. What font did you use on the panels?

Thanks!
