JG14_Smil Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hi, I think you need a background with a hole in it. Try changing the background properties to '-' to see if your viewport shows through, then see about another background if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 JG14_Smil I think that your suggestion might work, but the Ikarus profile does not show up on my second screen when the game loads. All I get is a black screen with the radar in the upper left. I had this issue with the Viggen, but know the Viggen Ikarus profile does show- I just cannot recall what I did to do that. I am running on full screen at 1920+1920x1080 Trackir4 using the latest Trackir 5 software, Win10 Pro [Creator Update] updated from Win7Pro Pro 64Bit, Intel® Core™ i5-2500 3.30 GHz 6M Intel Smart Cache LGA115 , GigaByte GA-Z68XP-UD4 Intel Z68 Chipset DDR3 16GB Ram, GTX MSI Gaming 1060 [6 GB] Video Card, Main Monitor 1 on left 1920x1080 Touchscreen Monitor 2 on right 1920x1080 .

JG14_Smil Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hi Sobe, Are your main panel PosX and PosY set correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) JG14_Smil I guess it would help if I use the correct Export file. Now everything works great. I have Ikarus on my second screen with a dash in the background box and the radar in the upper right of my second screen. For Ikarus, x=1921, y=0 for the game resolution, I use 3840x1080 and for the location of the radar, I use: RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 3273; y = 0; width = 498; height = 403; } So all is good. I assume that this should also work for the Su-33.

H-J-P Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Very simple fix. I should have thought of it sooner. Simply change the DCS IDs In the Instrumentation tab.

H-J-P Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 In principle this could work. Ikarus can do this without problems.

Do you know if IKARUS can send and receive data to both computers? If not, can Helios and Ikarus work together? Hello BaD CrC, currently we do not support to supply any more installations of ikarus with data. We are currently considering a solution for the future. Helios and Ikarus should be able to work together. You have to rename the Helios Export script (for example HELIOSExport. lua). Copy this file to the Scripts folder. Then enter the following in the Export. lua file of DCS-ExportScript dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\HELIOSExport.lua]])this entry must be before the entry of the ExportScript.lua. But I didn't try that. CU Micha Simpit Software by SDA "SIMPIT DEVELOPER ASSOCIATION" DCS ExportScript D.A.C.

BaD CrC Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks McMicha. Actually I tried to run my helios profile on my main computer and added the do file for Ikarus . I then set up the ip adress of my second computer in the configuration.lua It looks like both were working fine. I am using exports.lua from Captain Zeen.

McMicha Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Sorry for the misunderstanding. The ExportScript can only provide one installation of Ikarus with data, not two or more installations on different computers.

BaD CrC Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Oooh. Ok. But that's fine as long as Incan run both helios and ikarus. I am struggling still a lot with ikarus as to what I can display with it. I need the uh-1h pedestal and overhead for example, but only the front panel pilot and copilot shows up when it connects.

sobe Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) McMicha I have some questions on your post 261: Helios and Ikarus should be able to work together. You have to rename the Helios Export script (for example HELIOSExport. lua). DONE Copy this file to the Scripts folder. I assume that you mean to copy the new HELIOSEXPORT.LUA file to the Scripts folder so now the scripts folder contains the following: DCS-ExportScripts Ikarus folder Export.lua Ikarus export file HELIOSExport.lua file. Helios file IS THAT CORRECT? Then enter the following in the Export. lua file of DCS-ExportScript Code: dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\HELIOSExport.lua]]) I am confused as to where the dofile goes as there is no Export file in the folder DCS-ExportScripts only in the parent Scripts folder? this entry must be before the entry of the ExportScript.lua. Could you please clarify this statement as to its location.

Naval AV8R Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I've installed Ikarus and the gauges work like a charm. I'm displaying Ikarus on a 24 inch touch screen and the touch events are slow to respond during the game. My machine is an i7 6700, 16GB of RAM and two Radeon RX 390X video cards in crossfire so this struck me as a bit odd that when I touch the screen to "flip a switch" it takes 2-3 seconds for it to register in the game and reflect it on the touchcreen. When I'm running ikarus outside of the game and touch the screen to "flip a switch" it happens almost instantly. Looking for any advice on how to make it run faster when DCS is running. Thanks in advance, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
