Gizzy Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Now that I have a better rig and moving onto other rotary airframes ..... This one I got back with the enemy destroyed and the engines cut out 2m above the runway and I landed just fine :) Anyway I digress..... I had another look at Capt Zeen’s Helios as against the Hogtouch variant Ikarus for my usage. I found that Capt Zeen’s profiles for the Mi8 and more importantly the Ka-50 with the display screens really do make a difference to my flight enjoyment with my layout which is 3 screens - 2 vertically stacked for DCS and repeater instruments, and 1 off to the side for TS, Notes, Web, Manual etc... Exporting of viewports is really required for the Ka50 screens and requires me setting DCS to a resolution of 1920 x 2160 with the GUI set at 1920 x 1080 - this does cause a few problems with the sizing of the control indicators as these are based in the lua files as a function of the DCS resolution rather than the GUI... Using some pointers from Hawkeye, for my 2 monitor vertically stacked configs with DCS set at 1920 x 2160, I modified the lua files for the Huey, Ka50 & Mi8 to place the control indicator at the bottom left of the top monitor, sized appropriately and the indicators transparent background removed... Just my taste that's all.. I have them in JSGME compatible folder structures here if anyone wants to use them... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7FaeRwacSmPYmdDYnRvYlJRZDQ/view?usp=sharing Capt Zeen is working on a Huey profile and hopefully this will be out soon... There is a lot of work in these... he has a 'donate' button on his website http://www.captzeen.com/helios/index.asp - if you like and use them, maybe consider some beer money... :) Below are some pics that may make some sense of this and 2 videos, 1 KA50 & 1Mi8 demonstrating Capt Zeens profiles in use with 2 screens - both monitors are 1920x1080 but remember in RL, the top one is 32” and the lower one 24” R06-hwk0V-M GwdT7uC1MAM Edited April 18, 2016 by Gizzy
