Cowboy10uk Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Hi all. Ok, I've currently got almost everything exported, thanks to PeterP's get LUA file, to the stunning Spike-BS Helios profile. The very last part is to get the Rnds, Remain and Store LEDs to display on Helios. I was wondering if this is even possible, as it wasnt included in PeterP's setup and that looked pretty conclusive. Also I can't recall seeing it being displayed in any of the Helios videos that I've seen with Blackshark. Could someone please let me know or at least point me in the correct direction.

JG14_Smil Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) it is simple to do in Helios. You just create three "labels" and drag the proper binding over for each. Quite easy. You will need a 7-segment font installed in Windows to look realistic, but any will do. Use center/center for the alignment, Use "Trigger" value binding ('text','text' for the type display. Use 'numeric', 'text' for other two displays. Ignore the warning you get with 'numeric', 'text' bindings). Set background color, set font color, type and size. Leave the line blank in the "text" category That's it. Edited January 10, 2013 by JG14_Smil
JG14_Smil Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 To make getting set up easier, use "88" in the text category of the labels. It will show the fonts without having to start DCS up. When all is finished, set the text back to blank.
Cowboy10uk Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the reply, Ive tried to follow your instructions and I think Ive got the right settings. However I still cant get anything showing, Is there a export I should be setting up in the LUA files as well.

JG14_Smil Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 No, Helios takes care of that. I know I had trouble when I first tried it. Delete them and try just one at the start. I'll go back and see the exact steps...
JG14_Smil Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) It works fine. Delete your old ones. Go to "Toolbox"/"Panel Decorations", choose "label" Drag to monitor tab, set a square size. (leaving text and colors default). Set "Text" to "88" Use background with the checkbox. Use center and center for alignment. Save Profile. Highlight Label, click Input tab, point to DCS Interface, go to PUI-800. Drag "Cannon rounds changed" binding to "set Text", choose "Trigger Value", with "numeric" trigger value, "text" as action value. Ignore red warning. Save Profile, exit. Load Helios CP and run profile. You will see "88" on your black label with white numbers. Start DCS BS, unpause and it will change to "24" or go blank if a cold start(!) Repeat for other two labels, using text and text for trigger/action value for the weapon type label. When all is well, set background color to a custom dark green color, fonts to the brighter LED color green. You can get fancy and use a picture background in your gui to make it look like reflected glass. When all is well, leave "Text" blank so it will be blank when you enter DCS and save the profile.

Cowboy10uk Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks for such a in depth reply, sorry I'm not very good at this sort of thing. Was just wondering if my issue was because I hadn't changed the monitor LUA file to export the numbers as I have done with the others. I will delete everything and start again, as soon as I get back from work tomorrow. Those instructions above are stunning, if that dosnt get it working nothing will. Many thanks for taking the time to help me.

JG14_Smil Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) You're welcome. :) No, Helios and exporting viewports are two different things. No other changes are needed, but you may have to make room on your GUI to see the labels. You are probably covering them up with another graphic. This is all done in Helios. I don't use a GUI, I use a CPUI :) I can't help with GUI setups in Helios. Others probably can though. Edited January 10, 2013 by JG14_Smil 1
Cowboy10uk Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 Woohoo, Success, Huge thanks mate, Turned out the Font was too large on original profile hence it was hidden behind the background, all changed found font 30 looks just about right. Now working like a charm. :) Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:
