Loz Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I thought I might do a bit of flag waving for the Donation Ware program HELIOS. I use it on a touch monitor below my Eyfinity setup and I gives me all I need for flying and operating the Hog without changing my external view. A lot of you will already now this and I would recommend that those of you that haven't should take a look. One thing that I wasn't so keen on was the utilitarian look of some of the panels, dials and switches. So I've been busy with photoshop and Helios to make my Radio Panel look more like those in the sim. After a lot of work, with still a lot more to do on the main instrument panel but this is the finished Radio Panel. This panel is one of those extra to the main instrument and MFCDs panel that you normally view while flying. When you need to make any radio changes, you just press the RADIO button on the left and this panel slides out, disappearing from view with a similar button press. No apologies for the size of the file as this is full size as it appears on my extra monitor, so that you get an idea of the size of the buttons and switches. All the switches, buttons, rotaries are fully working just as in the Sim. (The only exception is the IFF panel which will be sorted soon. Once I've organised the bindings for that, then I will be putting this up on the SCSimulations.com download page, where it will be freely available. (I have no affiliation with SCSimulations or it's owners. I've just payed my donation like many others and wish to spread the news about this great piece of Software that adds so much to our hobby. :) ) 1 i9 9900x at 5.1 Ghz // ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula EK Bloc // 64Gb Corsair Vengence 3600Mhz DDR4 Ram // Gigabyte Aorus 3090 Watercooled block//Samsung SM951 M2 x4 SSD // Windows 10 64 Bit //48inch LG48 @ 3840x2160 120Hz//Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ 3440 x 14440 144Hz // TM Warthog HOTAS (Ser.

Barrakooda Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Nice job Loz, I started on the IFF as well until I read the manual so got rid of it. I have left KY58 panel in (also non functional) hoping I could intergrate TARS when it gets updated somehow.
Loz Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Looks good Loz....same idea that i've got...make my helios profile look as close to real.the sim as possible Thanks Paul I have to be honest and say that your profiles posted on SCS and Gadrocs Single Monitor profile, were the inspiration for my attempt at "realism" it's just that now I am determined to get it looking spot on. (Damn I've even made a copy of the clock background) PS. Just struck me that if I had your job I would be photographing "Scratches" to include in the profile.

Loz Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 My latest. I just can't stop finding and making new bits to my panel. The latest here has simlike Fire Handles Landing Gear lever and improved pullouts for the hidden panels. Must finish off the hidden Left and Right consoles now. i9 9900x at 5.1 Ghz // ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula EK Bloc // 64Gb Corsair Vengence 3600Mhz DDR4 Ram // Gigabyte Aorus 3090 Watercooled block//Samsung SM951 M2 x4 SSD // Windows 10 64 Bit //48inch LG48 @ 3840x2160 120Hz//Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ 3440 x 14440 144Hz // TM Warthog HOTAS (Ser.

Nice...I've been working on the fire handles as well just haven't had time to finish...

Loz Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 Nice...I've been working on the fire handles as well just haven't had time to finish... PS...I just noticed you even put the AC ducts on the bottom.... Yes. I was thinking for a long while how to make the buttons for the various pullouts to look more "A10" like when that idea dawned on me, so they are pratical not just decorative. (Airflow from them is poor though. LOL) Same deal with the pullouts for left and right panels, which are the edges of the panels themselves, the separater between the Fire Handles pulls down the UFC and then to finish on the same theme the ring binder is the pullout for the Airfield Charts. (I've got too much time on my hands.) :megalol: PS.

Snoopy Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) I need to get off my butt and work more on mine. I'll post updated pics. I have "stolen" a few switches from your last profile upload at scsimulations. About the sig....I created patches for the 25th based on lift graduation, flight times, air refueling and have to finish up night ops and AFAC patches.
