pii Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hey everyone, I've been reading about Helios for 3 days now and I have yet to find any documentation. I found a manual but it just tells you what all the options are but not really how they all tie togeather. SOOO what I need is some document that tells me how to actually set it up, something with a small walk through like the "dummies guide to multimonitor" that would show me how to get to display the MCFD and running on a different screen and interact with it. Also can you use Helios with a normal monitor and if so can you "click" on the buttons or is it only touch screen? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can put the MFCD on another screen (I read the dummies guide:pilotfly:) But being able to build the A10 or BS2 cockpit to a T looks like a far better solution. (not to mention its just awesome looking) I just need a dummies guide to Helios and I think I can figure it out, maybe. I'll check out threads. Later: PERFECT! just what I needed. That's some cool software, I couldn't believe how easy it is to make those dials and switches work. Now where can I get a cheap touchscreen? I can see this whole thing getting out of hand First Helios panel controller then I'll need two new monitors to match then I'll need a new hotas, then I'll have to build a pit, get a hydraulic moving flight seat, probably will need a second, maybe third, video cards to drive all those pixels a real flight suit and parachute and an ......... LOL anyways thanks (I think) Edited February 3, 2013 by pii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pii Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 it definetly has nothing to do with third party projects sorry if this is wrong place. all I know is I saw "How to" and since I wanted to know "how to" setup helios I touhgt I'd post. Didn't notice the third party thing. Feel free to move it. I think I got my answer anyways. :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
