Dcs Bios And Helios?

[linden]

Hi.

 

 

Quick question, is it possible to use dcs bios and helios at the same time?

[Warhog]

Don't see why you couldn’t. Each one has its own lua code which the export.lua file would reference. But Helios, from my own experience, created lag issues when I used it with DCS. It was so frustrating, I removed it entirely from my PC. It’s also what motivated me to use DCS BIOS for my cockpit as it was so easy to program Arduino boards and there was excellent documentation for DCS BIOS.

Warhog thanks for the reply.

 

I do use dcs bios for all the switches, but i need somthing to export all the gauges, i know i can export some gauges from the f18 but not all, so i was gonna try them toghter.

 

 

I have try to edit the export.lua by adding the lines so both är in the same

 

export.lua file but i cant get it to work.

 

 

dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]])

dofile(lfs.writedir()..'Scripts\\Helios\\HeliosExport.lua')

 

 

 

But i cant seem to make it work.?

 

 

Thanks

I wish I could be more help Linden, but lua is way beyond my pay grade. I don't know why it wouldn’t work since all it’s doing is exporting info much like Tacview and Helios would do.

lua is way beyond my pay grade to:) hope someone can figure it out:thumbup:

I use helios and dcs-bios without problems.

try to put the Helios line, first in the export.lua, then the DCS-bios line.

Thanks for the info Capt Zeen , i will try this

Definitely can be done. I use both.

I also use both and it works fine. I will get some lagging response in Helios if I neglect to restart my machine prior to flights.
