Helios setup help

[HiFly62]

Hi Guys!

Need some help. I'm trying to get Capt_Zeen's excellent Ka50 profile running. Two monitors (1920,1200 and 1680,1050) side by side, Helios on right. Installed everything and got as far as displaying the profile correctly on the second monitor, the gauges are working, the push buttons are working.

 

The viewports are not working. There is a DCS Monitor Configuration folder but don't know where to copy the content or how to edit the lua files for shkval, abris etc sizes.:cry:

 

I've red a lot of very good advice on the forum that is how I got as far as I am but this is the end of the line for me :helpsmilie:

 

Thanks in advance

Hello HiFly62

 

To get the viewports you need to copy the content of the folder "DCS Monitor Configuration" inside your game folder installation, but before, and this is important, read the next:

 

Several versions ago ED changed some directory names, so you need to fix that, in the olders profiles:

Once you extract the files in the "DCS Monitor Configuration" folder, in a temporal place, search for the directory "aircrafts", and rename that directory for "aircraft" removing the "s".

Then you can copy the content of "DCS Monitor Configuration" on your game installation folder following the instructions on the package.

 

In case you need to change the position of the viewports and size, edit the ka50_2_monitors.lua file and use your sizes and coordenates.

Hi Capt Zeen!

 

Thanks for the reply. Could you give me the path where the content of the "DCS Monitor Configuration" has to be copied?

 

As for the viewport coordinates - do I only change the the size adding up my horizontal and vertical pixels?

Figured it out, works like a charm.
