jamesb Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Hi. I installed 2.5 and absolutely love it. However it porked Helios and it no longer works at all. I knew it would happen eventually but now I’m stuck. I’ve got no programming experience and all my controls are hooked into with Bodnar boards. The thing I loved with Helios is the ease of use and the off state for switches that don’t have an off signal. So long story short, is there any other alternative to Helios?

Capt Zeen Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I am using Helios with 2.5 and no problems at all. So you probably miss something, perhaps the correct export.lua Capt_Zeen_HELIOS PROFILES_WEBSITE Capt_Zeen_Youtube Channel

Hansolo Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I got Helios working with 2.5. Didn't do anything but to copy all the files from saved gamed scrips folder of 1.5.8 into 2.5. Cheers Solo 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
Ragtop Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Yep, the new install will not contain your scripts file (generally there isn’t even one there at first). Just grab it out of your old install directory and copy it across. All works fine on my system. 476th vFG Alumni
jamesb Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I’ll try your recommendations when I get home from work. Hopefully all will work out. Keep ur fingers crossed
mhe Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Helios still works in 2.5 no problem, if you want to look for an alternative, go for Ikarus (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=179525). | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.
jamesb Posted February 5, 2018 Author Posted February 5, 2018 Found out what the issue is but don't know how to fix it. It seems that Helios is not seeing the boadnar boards (button boxes) at all. Windows sees them just fine but Helios does not recognize them. When you add new interface they don't even show up. I have all the latest windows updates...anyone have any ideas why this happened. By the way I did a clean install of Helios and DCS 2.5 to no avail.
BlacleyCole Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Try unplugging them rebooting then plug them back in keep trying rebooting with them unplugged you may need to rename directory’s till you are starting from scratch but work backwards with the boxes unplugged each time BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.
