Thick8 Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Hello All, I've been playing with Helios the last couple of evenings. All I can say is Gadroc ROCKS! I've been resizing and repositioning the gauges and such for a 1920x1200 monitor. I'm working through most of the issues (I think). I placed a fan RPM R gauge to try and figure out how to make it work. I'm stumped. There should be a locked sticky somewhere. In FSX it was fairly simple to create gauges once I learned some of the basics. I am by no means a programmer but I've been building (and crashing) computers for about 15 years so I've had to learned a few things. So if anyone can give me an idea of where to look to get a simple gauge working I may be able to figure it out from there.

metalnwood Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 John, are you building your own profile for a specific reason? I ask because it is soo much easier to just go and use someone elses profile. I do see that you are using a 16:10 screen and most profiles are for a 16:9 but it would be very easy to fix that than start from scratch with your own profile.
Thick8 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) I guess the best answer is "Just because". I was a mechanic for 28 years and now I'm a high school teacher. I just gotta know how things work. I did find Outlaw's 2 part tutorial. If any of you haven't seen it, you should. Now my gauges are working. Still didn't keep me from running into the GBU-12 I just dropped. Maybe I should watch that video too... :music_whistling: John Edit: I just programmed my Warthog buttons to change the state of the Helios switches. Too cool. Crap, Now I have to build a cockpit...
