Mykey1202 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Can someone help me? Back in the day i used Helios but cannot remember squat now. All I want are the MFDs to be on my second screen on my left. The big screen is screen number one so it is the top left of the combined screens. Both are running at 1920x1080 so when i scale my resolution to 3840x1080 it splits the image like in my pic below even when flying. What am i doing wrong here??

Adixylian Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hey, it's a great thing what you did Thank you dude! Is it possible to export only the UFC from your profile? I bought a tablet only to do that, other sensors (your helios profile) are on 2nd screen [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Zeen Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yes. It is posible. But you need to setup your tablet as an aditional monitor in your windows. Capt_Zeen_HELIOS PROFILES_WEBSITE Capt_Zeen_Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adixylian Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I did that already and I exported the info for the UFC (it's easy, just edit the .lua and put the correct pixels and width x height) Now I just need the keys from your Hellios to be able to make an input for UFC, but don't know how to do it... Is it possible to cut out your UFC and put it on other screen? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Zeen Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Yes. It can be done. You need to select all the ufc switches and buttons from inside the main panel and then copy all of them inside a new panel. Probably youll need to copy the background part of the ufc using photoshop or something similar. Right now i'm not at home. When i come back next week i can prepare a ufc module alone.

ilikepie Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 can anyone help trouble shoot a problem? I'm trying to figure out why the ins and radar rotaries do not respond to the touch input? info is being sent to helios from dcs as they move when clicked in game? all the other switches and rotaries respond to touch input except these 2. if there is a more appropriate place for this question please let me know and i can ask there, cheers Action After Contemplation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snacko Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I set this up when it first came out, but I know there have been several changes.. Has the first/original post by the Capt. Z been updated to reflect the current setup procedure? Not sure if I can find all the changes that have been made in this thread.. :book: How 'stable' is the current setup? Have the changes settled down.. Just not sure if I should do this setup again now, or wait.. Thanks!

HeavyTemlar33 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I use WinRar which is pretty reliable. The 2 files still won't extract but everything else from the site does. I resorted to the UnArchiver tool on the trusty Mac which recognized that the rar files have issues but still extracted them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobe Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 AMPCD lua file issue In doing the update to both the DCS F18 and to CZ's F18 profile, I noticed that I had some additional wording in the AMPCD lua file.

sobe Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Further thoughts on Post 245 above. It appears that the additional language that is in bold/italic that appears in this lua file is from the latest update from DCS. When I used DCS's update for this file, but changed the viewport name to conform to my monitor config viewport name, the AMPCD screen appeared on my game screen and not on my Helios screen. So there appears to be a conflict between DCS's lua file and and my monitor config file as to the location for this screen.

Capt Zeen Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) OK... ED added ( 08/29/2018 ) the lines to export the AMPCD in his code, so we don't need anymore my extra lines. And they asigned the name "CENTER_MFCD" for that viewport. Soooo.....You can use the actual ED code instead my code for the AMPCD ( we still need it for the IFEI, RWR and UFC ) If you use JSGME or other mod manager, delete the folder "Multipurpose_Display_Group" from Monitor configuration\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group in your mod manager files and activate it again. And change the name of the viewport in your configuration file! replace "F18_AMPCD" by "CENTER_MFCD" ..

Capt Zeen Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 I actuallized the UPDATE 2 with the new changes on the config files, for the AMPCD, So the web package is up to date with all changes and improvements. Do not overwrite your monitor config file! use yours, simple change the name of the "F18_AMPCD" to "CENTER_MFCD" Capt_Zeen_HELIOS PROFILES_WEBSITE Capt_Zeen_Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
