Capt Zeen Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Here you got it ! Using similar techniques i used before width the F-15C profile, i managed to send a lot of data from DCS to helios using just the FC2 interface. In the future i want to create a new interface for Helios that cover all the clickable data, but for now, i use the FC2 profile to export as many data as posible. For this profile i exported Radio Indicator Compass, Ias, clock, suction indicator, manifold pressure, altimeter, gyroheading, Flight Indicator ADI, Horizont caged, coolant temp, rpm, carburator temp, oil temp, oil press, fuelpress, Gmeter, Gmax and Gmin, VVI, sweep ball, turn needle, back radar light, landing safe light, landing unsafe light, high blower light, oxigen flow, oxigen press, hydraulic press, Anmeter, left tank fuel, fuselaje tank fuel, right tank fuel, rokets counter and all vhf radio lights and buttons I also included switches and buttons for the front Dash, right panel, weapons panel, fuel panel, radiator panel, K-14 gunsight selector-dimmer panel and the VHF radio. I included, aswell, a new keyboard configuration of several switches that don't have a key asigned in DCS, so to enjoy at 100% the profile, you need to configure those keyboard in DCS. Of course i added the navigation panel from others profiles, so you can check airport charts, tactical maps, ndbs, etc The profile works in 4 aspect resolutions: 16:9, 16:19, 5:4 and 4:3 and 5 diferents international keyboards You can download it from the web page: http://www.captzeen.com/helios Hope you like it ! !

klem Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks CaptZeen, looks beautiful,it releases my instruments monitor from DCS graphics and gives me 20% increase in fps. One problem though. It works fine off-line (Instant Action) but I can't get it to work on-line. I have tried starting the Profile before and after starting DCSWorld before then selecting MP. I have tried starting the Profile, then going directly to starting DCS Multiplayer. I have tried starting it off-line (works ok), then Escaping back to main menu and then going to MP where it doesn't work. I also tried two different servers. In all MP cases the instruments stay frozen at their 'Start' positions. Is there something I should be doing for MP use? Sorry for the questions. klem 56 RAF 'Firebirds' ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F mobo, i7 8086A @ 5.0 GHz with Corsair H115i watercooling, Gigabyte 2080Ti GAMING OC 11Gb GPU , 32Gb DDR4 RAM, 500Gb and 256Gb SSD SATA III 6Gb/s + 2TB , Pimax 8k Plus VR, TM Warthog Throttle, TM F18 Grip on Virpil WarBRD base, Windows 10 Home 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereminqblank Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Nice work, thank you! I'm hoping to try this profile out over the weekend. Excuse my ignorance but is this so you can have all the gauges on a second monitor? Helios provides that ability, but it also allows customised switches that can be clicked via a touchscreen monitor. So all those switches you see in the screenshot (I'm assuming all!) can be clicked by touching the screen, which will interface with DCS.

FSFIan Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 It works fine off-line (Instant Action) but I can't get it to work on-line. Are you running anything Export.lua-related besides Helios? Check dcs.log for errors. By default, a server setting removes "LoGetWorldObjects()" from the export environment. Maybe one of your add-ons that uses Export.lua stumbles over this and takes the rest with it.

Capt Zeen Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Fixed ! ! ! ! V1.01 Now you can use the profiles in multiplayer too, and corrected the starter switch. If you got the v1.0 just download again the new version and replace the export.lua and profile files.

milesk Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Help - no interface! You have done some terrific work w/Helios, but I have a problem. I have A-10C, and P-51D. A-10C works great w/Helios, but I dont have any Flaming Cliffs to use with P-51D Helios Interface. Is there anyway to work around this, other then purchasing FC? And FC2 is NO LONGER available; Flaming Cliffs 3 is now out.

Mr_Burns Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Did you add the library your DCS install is in on the Helios page editor? If your P-51 is installed elsewhere other than DCS folder it might not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klem Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Sorry, I must be missing something. I can enter the profiles into helios just fine, but how do I interface the P-51D with DCS? "I can enter the profiles into helios just fine" Profiles are to be kept in "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Helios\Profiles\. Open "Helios Profiles Editor" and go to Profile.. Open.. to ensure Helios sees the profiles held in that folder. Open the P-51D profile "P51_v1.01b_eng.hpf" and check the Install Path which on mine is in the box named "Flaming Cliffs 2.0 Setup" (?!) I think this is where your point about not having Flaming Cliffs comes from. Check that the install path points to your DCS WORLD INSTALLATION, usually "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World". If it doesn't, fix it and Save it. Close the Editor and run the "Helios Control Center" to activate Helios and select a Profile to run. The Control Center automatically interfaces to DCS due to the Install Path you pointed to.
