UH-1H Helios Profile?

[Abnaxus]

Ok.

Today its impossible. Possibly tomorrow.

[Abnaxus]

Im working on new version of the profile.

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for the wait.

 

 

 

a preview...

 

[Abnaxus]

Coming soon.. v1.6

 

[stcj]

Thanks Abnaxus, looking foward to the next version, looks great!!

[Abnaxus]

I have some problems with the countermeasure controls. I assign keys to the new controls, but does not work well.

 

Do you work well with countermeasure keyboard controls?

[sondo214]

I have instelled it and using it at a second monitor, which is not touchscreen. Can I use the mouse to click because now the mouse does not move to the second screen.

 

Thanks

[sondo214]

I was wrong, it moves but cannot click anything!

Thanks

Yes.

You have to configure (On Windows properties) the 2º monitor position.

 

 

If the second monitor is set to the right of the main monitor, you have to move the mouse to the right...

 

Hope that helps.

[Abnaxus]

I was wrong, it moves but cannot click anything!

I do not understand why. Should working.

[sondo214]

I can for sure move the mouse but cannot click anything, that's true...

[sondo214]

I can see in the input interfaces only keyboard, should be a mouse as well there?

[Abnaxus]

No.

The tactile monitors work like a click with the mouse

Abnaxus;

 

Really nice panel, well done.

 

 

To users of this panel, if you fly using the HUD mode as I do, you may have noticed that the controlsindicator shifts to center when you enter HUD mode. To keep the indicator on the panel all the time you need to edit the ControlsIndicator_page.lua.

 

Line 51 reads...

 

base.controllers = {{"show"},{"screenspace_position",2,-(aspect - (size+collec_shift + rud_shift +3.0*line_width + ds)),0},

{"screenspace_position",1,0,0}}

 

Change it to read...

 

base.controllers = {{"show"},{"screenspace_position",2,-(aspect - (size+collec_shift + rud_shift +3.0*line_width + ds)),0},

{"screenspace_position",1,-(aspect - (size+collec_shift + rud_shift +3.0*line_width + ds)),0}}

[Abnaxus]

Thanks!

I had not noticed that problem.

 

I changed the file attachment for you can download it corrected.

 

 

Controls indicator error Fixded (By A229th Reaper):

- Throttle position.

- Panel position using the HUD mode.

- Transparent background.

What makes a flight sim last over time, is whether of not the DEV's give the users the ability to make mods or changes to the sim and users sharing tips. That is why even though MS has stopped supporting FSX, its still going strong because of users.

 

My hats off you 'ALL' of you who help make our experience more enjoyable.

 

Now if we can only convince Gadroc to give us access to his source info, we could make an interface and gauge pack for the Huey. (Hint, Hint) ;)

How do we set the position of the Controls Indicator and AI Control Panel? Do we have to set the coordinates somewhere in those two .lua files? Or is there settings for them, like ED_Kneeboard =, that we should use in the MonitorConfig.lua and if so, what are they?

The control indicator location is in the lua file that creates it and I suspect the same for the AI control panel. There is a thread around here somewhere on relocating the control indicator. I will see if I can find it.

[cichlidfan]

Here is where the AI indicator file is located for the Huey:

 

DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts\AI\ControlPanel\g_panel_page.lua

 

and here is where the control indicator is located:

 

DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts\ControlsIndicator\ControlsIndicator_page.lua

 

The files are in similar places for the other aircraft.

 

I cannot find the thread about moving them but it is here somewhere.

[Crowfoot]

I am completely unable to relocate and resize my Kneeboard. Do I need to us Peter Ps' mod before I can move and resize my kneeboard? Before trying Helios, I did have my kneeboard on a second monitor by using the KNEEBOARD command in the Monitor setup .lua. This relocated the kneeboard, but I was unable to resize it, and it seems like the size is set a percentage of total resolution, because when I moved my second monitor to the bottom, the kneeboard grew to the point that it spilled over into the top monitor. Now, after using the init files here and directions here, my knee board is up in the top left corner of my display and is about 50x50 pixels.

 

Do I need to make any changes to the kneeboard init file posted here or is it plug and play? Any tips on just getting the kneeboard to show back up in the default location?

[jay43]

OK, thanks. I'll try and find it.

 

Regarding moving the kneeboard, that seems problematic if it has to be done with \DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua, as that affects all aircraft and not all Helios profiles are going to be designed to have the Kneeboard in the same place (or even at all).

[Crowfoot]

Try this post http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=129097 it helped me resize and reposition.

 

Yea, thanks for that but I still can't get the kneeboard to resize or move. I've seemingly tried everything, but obviously I'm doing or not doing something. I do have Helios running nicely on my second monitor, i just can't get any of the imported displays to work.

 

It's still pretty nice as it is, though.

 

Edit: OK, managed to get it working using the above instructions after deleting and re-installing. i guess i had a file that I had edited that was blocking my attempts to manage the kneeboard.
