M-2000 Helios Profile

OK thought I would get a thread going and hopefully between the community we can get a good Helios profile going. I've put a couple of hours into it and have taken a Hi Res screen shot and started to modify it into a Helios profile. I plan on doing a day and night version. So far I have zero working switches but I have successfully exported the following into the profile:

Radar

RWR

Coms

Bomb Ripple quantity and interval screen

Stores Management

Fuel Flow

I want to clean it up and will post for anyone to use. I hope some of you who know more than me can maybe get working or give me pointers on the analog gauges, tapes and switches:D

Here's what it looks like so far(just have the illuminated night profile going):

Edit:

Ok here's a link to my profile: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/syn8qp6b7dduoh4/AAB2KyVJEGe7QWmhAPLr17Fua?dl=0

Instructions:

1.Drop the background into your helios images

2.Load the Profile and do the reset monitors to your system. Mine uses a 4K main display and a 1080P Touchscreen for Helios. So as long as you have a 1920X1080 Helios display you should have an easy time configuring.

3. I have included the .lua file for each of the items I've extracted. You can simply go to your Mods/Aircraft/M-2000/Cockpit file and drop each of those in.

4. I have also included an example of MY Monitor extract file...You will need to change this for your setup and where you want to export each display. I would suggest using one of the easy X,Y cordinate locator programs. Can be done pretty quick:)

Please take this image, files, anything and run with it....This is the most I know to do so far so anyone that knows anything about the gauges, or switches please feel free to run with it:D

I will load my day time when I get it going too...

Updated original post with a Dropbox link for the Helios Profile...

You rock! I'll be downloading it as soon as I'm home after tomorrow. I hope you lol keep it online.

Off topic now, have you done the same for the MiG21?

Thanks again.

Sorry don't have the Mig-21. Your should be fine on the files. I don't plan on taking them down :D

Thanks mate! Great job on the profile, the M-2000 seems to have great support for pitbuilders when most of it can be exported pretty easily!

Cheers

Damn a Helios profile all ready, YOU ROCK. I've not even got home yet from the Winter hols to even download the Mirage.

Thankyou, will certainly be downloading it first thing on the 2nd when I get home.

Thanks a bunch, I'll download it when I get home!

Teach me how to do it and I'll do it for the MiG as well

Where are the image files?

What does working M-2000 night.lua do and where does it go?

Have you done the day version yet?

Where is your monitor file?

There is a folder labeled Greek's M-2000 helios night profile, but no matter what extract program I use, the folder is empty.

When I tried Zipreader, the following appeared in the log:

12/29/2015 9:57:40 PM] Loading D:\AAAAA DCS Planes\M2000C\heilio\Greek's M-2000 Helios Night Profile.zip (4,294,967,280)

Invalid file name changed to: no_name/ (1,010)

1 errors/warnings (3)

I am still a newbie on Helios.

Are the files from my Dropbox actually downloading? I haven't ever posted a file the public can access....

As far as where to put the stuff you need to get the helios program from Gadrocs workshop. That should also have instructions on basic helios use. I'm certainly no expert on it but I've managed to stumble my way through it.

I downloaded 8 lua files, a png file and what appears to be a helios profile file plus the empty folder.

I understand enough about Helios to use it and perhaps the empty folder contains the missing files that I need.

hmmm not sure...I have a couple of squadron mates that were able to get it working. The Lua files all need to go to the B:\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Cockpit files and then be dropped in one by one in Coms, Fuel, 3 in PCA/PPA, RWR, and VTB...Once you've done that you just need to setup the monitor export and your good.

Update: I've started adding switches to the cockpit...so far I've added a working gear lever, master caution switch with cover, and weapons selection buttons. The problem is there aren't normal key bindings for many of the normal cockpit switches. I wonder if we can get Zeus to add that to a later release. As long as there is a keyboard command for each switch in the cockpit it will greatly aid for those of us that would like to have a virtual cockpit for his module:D

Fantastic you really are cracking on with this profile. Keep up the amazing work, can't wait to see the finished profile.

Very nice, thanks for sharing :thumbup:

After a long time not playing the M-2000 and several DCS updates I realised that it did not export the radar to my second monitor.

I reinserted the files from Greekbull into the correct folders and everything work except the radar. Not exporting the radar view is only true in in cockpit view. When I switch to any other view besides the cockpit view, I get the radar exported to my 2nd screen.

Appreciate if some one could help ...

I have used Loz's A10 Helios profile as well as several profiles from Cpt Z, but despite my best efforts, I cannot get this one to work.

I have placed the PNG image "M-2000 Night Profile" file into the Helios/Images folder, but nothing shows.

While I have reset the monitors, I have not used any interface in the Helios drop down menu in the Helios Profile Editor as I am not sure which one, if any, applies????

Also, was a viewport config file included? I could not locate one so I am not sure what to call the various viewports.

Any help on these two issues would be appreciated.

all exports are down since last update :(

only VTB export view is ok ...

any idea to fix it ?

does this work with dcs 1.5 ?

I have all of the viewports exporting, but the VTB only shows up in External view, not in Cockpit view.

Is this a bug. or is there a fix?

Map the 'Show VTB' or 'VTB on/off toggle' or what ever its called, in your controller options. Cant remember its exact name, buts its something VTB. You need to switch the export on basically.

Hello,

Is the helios profil up to date? Can I remplace .lua files into Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Cockpit without problem?

Need updates? I'm totally noob in HELIOS:D

Is ok for multiplayer?

Thanks!

Hi, no update for the Mirage ? Having Helios working on it would be very good !

+1

this is not working anymore right? it shows up but nothing moves (HSI etc)

AFAIK it has never been a real helios profile. Just a cockpit image over the DCS Viewports. Nothing in it has ever been clickable. No switches. No gauges...

That is really sad, still on it a year later yep :p
