Helios Display problem

[Leysard]

Hello,

 

I,ve configured Helios with a new profile I made myself, to Use with DCS World, A10C module 1.2.2.7570.

 

When I set the profile to display ADI and HSI it works. If I add the altimeter or any over gauges, the display does not work properly.

 

In fact, the gauges appear and disappear, change size and other kind of funny things.

 

My config is : Win 7 | HP 64-bit | i7 870 quad-core @ 2.93Ghz | 8Go Ram | ZOTAC GeForce GTX 680 4Gb | Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog | Saitek Rudder | TrackIr 5 Pro

No one experienced this problem ? No one to help me out ?

Hi,

 

Sorry haven't ever experienced this but try and reset the monitor in Helios, so they match the setup in Windows. Also please try and post your profile as well as your monitor setup. I won't be able to try and load it until Sunday but am willing to try and take a look at the profile if you like. Not an expert though but have been using Helios for some time.

 

Cheers

Here is a zip file with profiles and desktop.

 

For the Helios Profile, works with 2 gauges, not with 4.

Hi Leysard,

 

Got a little extra time today and have tested your 4 gauges. I can't find anything wrong and have tried in a free flight mission. No problem, all four gauges are working. The only thing I have done is to reset the monitors in Helios to suit my setup.

 

How is your settings in the DCS control panel for monitor? I have for reference attached my monitor setup in Windows, the settings in DCS control panel as well as my monitor settings in LUA.

 

My suggestion is that perhaps the settings in the control panel does not match the monitors setup in Windows or maybe you are running full in DCS control panel.

As you can see I have 1920*1080 as top left monitor (main), my CDU monitor is 800*600 on top right and Helios monitor 1680*1050 is running bottom left. This gives totally 2720 (1920+800) x 2130 (1080+1050).

 

Hope this is of some assistance.

 

Cheers

Have you got your desktop at default size? Having it larger or smaller can create issues

[Leysard]

So, I've been trying different options. I've uninstalled and erased Helios folders. Re-installed all of it. The problem is still the same.

 

You can see here my config in Windows and in DCS, I think that everything should be ok.

Hi,

 

Well, I haven't got a clue. It looks fine. The only thing that separates your DCS setting from mine is resolution of cockpit displays. Mine is only 256 whereas yours are 1024.

What happens if you change your resolution of cockpit displays to 256?

 

Cheers

Tried with resolution 256, problem is the same. Really a shame as it could be really cool to have instruments on a second screen
