Helios stopped working with DCS World 1.2.1.

FIXED - PLEASE IGNORE

 

Hi Guys,

 

My Helios is working with DCS World, but I cannot see anything behind Helios apart from the Left and Right CMFD. My primary monitor is 5904x1080 and my 2nd touchscreen is 1920x1080. DCS is configured at 7824x1080.

 

My MonitorSetup lua is to blame I'm sure, but I can't for the life of me work this one out. I wish there was a way to upload a file here on this forum. Instead here's my lua.

 

_ = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('BMFCD');
Description = 'BMFCD'
Viewports =
{
Center =
{
	x = 0;
	y = 0;
	width = 5904;
	height = 1080;
	viewDx = 0;
	viewDy = 0;
	aspect = 5.466666666666667;
}
}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
	x = 7454-144;
	y = 120;
	width = 445;
	height = 445;
}

LEFT_MFCD =
{
	x = 6115-144;
	y = 120;
	width = 445;
	height = 445;
}

CMSC_SCREEN =
{
	x = 6904-144;
	y = 141;
	width = 230;
	height = 49;
}

CMSP_SCREEN =
{
	x = 7123-144;
	y = 190;
	width = 270;
	height = 70;
}

RWR_SCREEN =
{
	x = 6648-144;
	y = 161;
	width = 175;
	height = 175;
}

DIGIT_CLOCK =
{
	x = 6528-144;
	y = 830;
	width = 122;
	height = 122;
}

UHF_FREQUENCY_STATUS =
{
	x = 6683-144;
	y = 565;
	width = 120;
	height = 30;
}

UHF_PRESET_CHANNEL =
{
	x = 6796-144;
	y = 477;
	width = 30;
	height = 30;
}

UHF_REPEATER =
{
	x = 6704-144;
	y = 695;
	width = 110;
	height = 30;
}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

Hi,

 

did you unchecked the 'fill background' box in Helios? Have you repositioned and resized the RWR, Digit Clock etc. to the right coordinates?

Fixed it, just a small rookie oversight about the order in which I needed to apply my changes to DCS to get Helios to work correctly. New to the software, but getting better each time I need to tinker with it. Thanks for your help.

I was having the same issue getting the gauges to work in HELIOS and "run as administrator" was the fix for me
