Helios Help needed

[mickt014]

Hi Gents, I have struggled for 4 days now with Helios and appear to be getting no where. I can get the profile to run on my touch screen but cannot get it to mirror the sim in any way. I hope someone can point me in the right direction of a step by step guide for Old Brain dead Dummies. I have watched god knows how many videos/guides but get nowhere. I have a 34inch main screen 3440x1440 to run the sim on and a 21inch 1920x1080 touch screen. Also have 2 27inch 2650x1440 either side. I have no idea what to do with Lua files so I am stuck. Hopefully someone can help.

 

Thanks in advance

Regards Mick :cry:

probably you are installing the CapLoz profile for the A10C.

Or an old profile.

ED made changes on some code time a go, and all the old export.lua dont work anymore.

 

Just go to my website:

www.captzeen.com and download the latest export.lua from the download section. With that one, everything works again.

Hi Capt, thanks for the response. I already have got the latest lua Nov 17. I still cannot get anything to work, I have made my own gauges as per YT videos and still nada. I put the lua in the DCS World folder and a copy in the scripts just incase :-) is that ok?. Do I need to edit the lua in anyway?. I have tried just about every recent profile I can dl. I'll keep trying, really want the gazelle on my touch screen. Thanks

 

Just found a newer lua in the Gaz folder, but yet again no joy. I have tried just one or two gauges on all screens and nothing. Can you confirm where the lua should go exactly. I am sure I am missing something with the luas but I don't know what. Am I supposed to edit them or are they PnP ?. Thanks again :-)

Found latest lua

The export.lua file you downloaded from Capt Zeen website goes in the Scripts folder in your saved games folder. Looks something like this...

 

\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\export.lua

 

If you don't have a Scripts folder there, create one and place the export file in it.

Hi Capt, still no joy, I have added a link to my profile to have a look at and a screen shot. Sorry for taking up your time, but I am ready to bin this idea soon

 

Cheers

Thanks DeJohn, as you can see I'm still failing miserably

[Capt Zeen]

Looking at your profiles, i dont see nothing wrong.

Run DCS, start a mision with the A10C, and then, exit from the mision.

Then go to DCS/logs/dcs.log and check if there is a error related to the export.lua

If you want, send it to me and i can take a look.

error log

 

Hi Capt, here's a copy of the log file. There is an error on line 351, hopefully it will mean more to you than it does to me. Really appreciate your time on this

dcs.log Helios error.txt

Send me the export you are actually using.

here's the export file, I am going to install a new copy of 2.5 with just the a10c on it and try that, as I had noticed lots of errors in the last log

 

Cheers

Export.lua

[mickt014]

Hi Capt, have just ran clean install of 2.5 with A10c and it works !! :-). Excellent piece of kit, thank you very much for your help and the effort you have put in to this program. Finally is there a separate process for the mfc's, I am just about to drag the web and look for a tutorial / guide.

 

Many Thanks from a very happy A10c Pilot :pilotfly:
