How do I download the AV-8B Helios file. All the links are in (presumably) Korean.

 

Use chrome and let it translate the page for you, that worked for me.

I uploaded it to the DCS files page with the title "Av8B NA Helios File by Sicario"

It's just awaiting a moderator to approve it.

It will show up at this link eventually

Thanks, Airdog. I will wait it’s appearance.

 

I translated the page, but for some reason, I was unable to see the download on the site -possibly my anti-virus being a bit paranoid.

Sicario, nice job on the profile. Can you confirm the monitor resolution that you are using for the Helios screen? You stated 24" before, but can you tell us the resolution? The background image file is a nonstandard size of 2500x1444, and this aspect ratio (1.73) ends up making the image slightly off when Helios Profile Editor stretches to to a more standard 1.78 aspect ratio, like that seen on a 1920x1080 monitor.

 

Again, thanks and nice job on the profile.

I have downloaded this Helios Profile and edited the "AVBMFD.lua" to accommodate my monitor config. Note I have only set the MAIN monitor screen size and aspect, along with only the Left & Right MFCD’s. I used JSGME to load the “DCS World” mods folder contained within this download, selected this monitor config in DCS but nothing exports to my touchscreen? No other MODS enable at this time. What would cause no exporting of MFCDs for example? I do have an "Export.lua" that handles my other Helios Profiles, located "C:\Users\MyNameHere\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts", I assume that must be ammended? But with what?

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('AVBMFD');

x = 0;

y = 0;

}

}

Can someone help me with this please? MFCD's do not export? I assume its because I need to add an export.lua or edit the current one I have? If that is the case, can someone post up their export.lua so I can copy & paste? Thanks

OHHh WOW! That was it! I had no idea that even existed. I have Helios profiles for A-10C, KA-50, UH-1H & F15,,, never came acroos that at all. I spent about 2 hours on it today trying to figure out what I needed to do regarding an export file with no luck. Many, MANY thanks sir! Do I have to turn these on every time I load up or is there a way to keep them enabled on? Thanks again sir!

No worries, glad I could help.

 

Unfortunately, at least for now you have to turn them on each time you launch a mission.

I have not tried myself. Ikarus should have a profile for us in the next week or so

has anyone been able to separate out the mfd buttons in here for the av-8
That should be as easy as putting on a little button and sending a keystroke. Helios can be confusing at first. But just sending keystrokes is fairly easy once you figure out how to do one. Then you can do all of them quickly. And there are some basic tutorials on how to use Helios on Youtube.

I agree with Snacko, Im quite rusty with creating these buttons, but as I recall, once you get in the grove, its a piece of cake. The only reason I have not attempted is because Ikarus will be releasing their profile very shortly, which should be all inclusive and high fidelity.
