Helios gauges and a new F-16C profile - no output?

[GPatricks]

This is a new 1.6 Helios profile for the F-16C. Loading several gauges on the lower section of my 600x800 MFD screens. The MFDs work perfectly but every gauge is static. I have followed the YT instructions on Bindings (though it is 2 years old, for an F-18), and it all "looks" right, but I get no output to the gauges at all. Pretty sure it's something i'm missing, hopefully some help here from you experts. I've attached a pic of the current setup for an AoA gauge. The "Properties" column self-populates and the YT video doesn't touch it, but maybe there is something there I need to change? Thanks for any input, I would rather not try and take Cpt. Zeen's profile and hack it up to remove all but the few gauges I need, think I would rather just hav ethe MFDs if thats all that is possible..

EDIT: I broke down and imported Capt. Zeen's profile, cut\pasted the viewports and gauges I wanted on to my MFD monitors, and deleted all that was left on the main monitor, and everything worked as expected... until the next day.. lol. Then back to crashes or black screens. For now i'm just going to use a DCS custom monitor .lua file export for the MFDs, will see what develops with Helios at a later date.  I did notice that Zeen's Interface is "DCS Generic impersonating F-16C_50" and my interface is "DCS F-16C_50", so it looks like he wrote a custom interface.
