Help with Helios

[SrSosio]

Hi. I have a couple of Apache MPDs that I built, with two working LCDs. I created two different Helios profiles for the Pilot and the CPG. My expectation would be, from what I've seen Helios can do, to be able to switch from one another just changing the profile in the Helios Control Center, but I must be doing something wrong, because it's not working for me.

I have these two profiles in the Monitor config in the setup:

and they work normally if I select them from that dropdown list, but every time you switch from one another, it restarts the game. The Helios control center seems to not be able to change the profile in game. What am I doing wrong?

Can you tell us what you want to achieve and we may be able to help.

The Left and Right MFD exports do automatically switch between pilot and gunner seat, but I'm not sure if external programs can detect which seat is being used.

The Helios Apache profile I use just switches the overlays correctly. I only need to use one Helios monitor file for all my modules.

I think that may be my problem. I set this profiles a while ago and I don't remember how I did it, but I believe I can have all the modules in one file, instead of a file for each module, but I don't remember how to revert back to just using the Helios.lua profile file.

I have this. I don't remember how to move my profiles to Combined:

I'll keep trying

Nevermind. I moved them to combined. I'll re-test now

Nope, now it only loads the CPG screens, for some reason, when I switch seats, nothing happens. See attached my helios.lua file

Helios.lua

Hi! I'll look it up whenever I get home. But have you searched the forum for Apache profiles you can test. I believe I use some Bunny's profile
As for using only one Helios file. I use the one generated, which gets generated when you save a profile

Cheers!

Thank you @MAXsenna. That actually gave me a hint of what needed to be done and seems like it's working now. I had to overwrite some files in the aircraft folder, I didn't remember about that.
