LNR212 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Hey guys, please help...! like above, since the latest update i made yesterday, i'm having troubles with helios. i assume it has to do with my softth. problem: when i start helios profile via the controlcentre, everything looks good. all screens are as they should be. then i start dcs:world (multiplayer), and the helios controlcentre and some of my helios-screens are gone. i use helios on 6 different monitors, but after starting the game (sorry, "simulation" ;) ) there is helios only on 3 monitors displayed. and i cant open the controlcentre to change the profile or what ever... BUT: i can do a little trick - i start dcs (mp) and while the first loadingscreen is visible, i must start helios and a profile... sometimes it works and i have all screens running, but still without the controlcentre... this also happens in SP... does someone have the same issue? any suggestions, or solutions??? pleeeease :helpsmilie: thanks!
LNR212 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Or in shorter words...: The Control Center does not stay on top as usual... it dissapears and i never can get it back...
TonyZ Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Apparently since the new patch Helios must be started AFTER DCS,otherwise DCS covers up the helios screens.Hope they address this as it is moderately inconvenient to helios users.I have found that as long as you have some other window opened on the screen (even an explorer page or a text doc minimized) then you are able to ALT-TAB out of DCS to start helios. 1
LNR212 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 Hi TonyZ! After some confusing hours, i also found out that you can only start it to work properly when DCS is already started... It's a bit tricky with SoftTh... I hope this will get changed again for us Pitbuilders...! :thumbup:
Gadroc Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 If I remember right (I'm at work right now). On the properties of the monitor (double click on the monitor in the explorer/preview and remove all selections by hitting esc) there is a keep on top check box. This will force Helios to periodically bring itself to the front.
JG14_Smil Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 If you are having trouble with this, try using just the MP shortcut and see if it does it. I saw the problem in main menu SP, but not MP.
LNR212 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 yes, it is in both. SP and MP. i have to start the controlcenter-> without starting a profile, and when in game or at least after the "SoftTh"-logo appears, i can start a profile. when i press "Hide" sometimes i have luck and i get it back with my shortcut but most of the time, i must restart DCS MP if i wish to use another profile for another aircraft... BTW, is there a chance to get some gauges for the Huey or the Mustang???
JG14_Smil Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Yes, I learned this from showtime817th... that it does not help. It works the same way for me every time, though. That is why it is not an issue for me as all I do is MP.
Gadroc Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 New build of Helios is out. Once in cockpit Helios should be on top again, although main menu still prevents Helios from being on top.
