tallen1250 Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Okay, I download the new Helios 1.6 and the new Capt. Zeen A10c Profiles. Watched the videos and set everything up and had all green on the dashboard. When I stared DCS I picked my resolution of 1920x2160 since I have two monitors one above the other and selected Helios as the profile. The system started fine and all the MFCD's and clocks were in the correct place on the lower monitor, but the profile from Helios is small and half on the top monitor and half on the bottom. Not sure where I went wrong. Can anyone help. Okay, I went back into Helios editor and found the issue, (See second photo), but I don't know where it is getting that information from or where to go and change it.

mongo52 Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Try using the A10C_3.0B profile. That one is set for 16x9 monitors.
tallen1250 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Posted July 30, 2020 I tried the “b” version and it is the exact same size and location and wont show the mfcds.
mongo52 Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 When you selected your resolution did you also change it from the old 2 screen a10 monitor setup to the new "helios" monitor setup?
tallen1250 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Posted July 30, 2020 Yes. I even went back and removed the old version from the config file and removed OGMEV from the computer thinking it might be causing the issue but nothing changed.
VirusAM Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 You probably have screens with different dpi settings R7-5800X3D 64GB RTX-4090 LG-38GN950 N/A Realsimulator FFSB MKII Ultra+F-16 grip+F/A-18 grip, VKB Stecs Max, VKB T-Rudder MKV, Razer Tartarus V2 Secrets Lab Tytan, Monstertech ChairMounts
tallen1250 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Posted July 30, 2020 That would make sense, but both show to be 1920x1080 even in the display settings.
mongo52 Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 He's not talking about resolution. Just above that in display settings you've got a box for "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" you should have both monitors at the same percent.
tallen1250 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Posted July 30, 2020 Ohhhh. I will check on that as soon as I get to the house. Someone also sent me a link to github about this issue that I will check tonight. Thank you for all the help.
derammo Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 correct. Helios 1.6 currently doesn't scale the monitor setup correctly if you have multiple different display scaling / DPI values on your different displays tracked here: https://github.com/HeliosVirtualCockpit/Helios/issues/151
schuey97 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Just found this thread as I seem to be having the same issue due to DPI values. I have checked that both monitors have the same DPI, however Helios still states the DPI values are different. Is there any way around this or just need to wait until a fix has been completed for Helios? Thanks

I have checked that both monitors have the same DPI, however Helios still states the DPI values are different. Is there any way around this or just need to wait until a fix has been completed for Helios? Thanks Helios currently doesn't have the ability to tell if you have different DPI values. It just always tells you that message that you should check (not that they are necessarily wrong.) I had thought this message would be there short term while we wait to implement it correctly, but then it got de-scheduled for a while. If your DPI values are all the same, then you can safely ignore the message.

Ok, so just to confirm, even though I get the message (attached screenshot) that this profile can not be displayed due to invalid monitor configuration, all will still work?

All good .. just checked again and was loading the 16:10 and not 16:9 profile for the FA18 :thumbup:
derammo Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 All good .. just checked again and was loading the 16:10 and not 16:9 profile for the FA18 :thumbup: Glad to hear it. Just to close on the previous question for posterity :) : The DPI thing is just an informational message and unrelated to the warnings or errors you are seeing. But it looks like you worked it out.
