Guppy Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Is Helios still supported? The last update on this website is from a really long time ago: http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com/helios Does it even work with 2.5? If there is an updated site where you can get Helios I'd greatly appreciate that. Thanks! My Simpit Progress and Update Learn how to build a SimPit like mine: Follow my Blog here!

dFlow Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I know it is not much of a help for helios - but have you tried to use icarus instead? It is supported and updated - which one cannot tell for helios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaD CrC Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Helios is working great on 2.5 and Capt Zeen profiles are the best looking and most complete profiles you can find. As for Ikarus, I am still trying to make sense on how it works and how to get at least a as exhaustive set of controls and gauges than Helios.

dFlow Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Helios might be good and all, but unfortunately i haven't found a viggen profile. Icarus has one ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeokilo Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I had nothing but trouble with helios for a very long time. I recently tried again, this time using Capt Zeen profile as a base and Loz LUA Export file. Hasn't skipped a beat since. Entire pit, including switches and my Phidgets LED 64 caution panel now working in 2.5 and hasn't crashed once. Ikarus looks great but I just found it very hard to use. Took hours of thread reading just to work out how to install it. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymondabel Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Helios and Ikarus sorry for bad english level I am with A-10C. (I love the plane) A-10C Helios profile works with 2.5.* ( Loz SM v2.1) but it had no update and no support anymore. So all new airports are not avalable and Capt Zeen is working on new projects (that make perfect sense too then working on an old module) I suggest to use Cap Zeen LUA. Worhs great !! Ikarus has full support and a lot a great addon and need some time to make it work but DCS crach when I use it but DCS never crashed with Helios. Maybe it is more stable wirh new profiles? maybe it is a conflic with Universal radio that I use to play with my clan. I west enough hour to continue surching.

Sprool Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Are there any resources to show how to create a working custom panel in Helios or edit the Capt Zen ones? I want to create a stripped-down version of the Huey gauges to just show 4 or 5 of the most important gauges in a strip down the side of my secondary monitor. I've worked through the youtube videos on creating the MFD's for the F-18 and it works fine, but theres nothing about the gauges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprool Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Sorted now, new panel created in photoshop, gauges just dragged around to new locations in the helios editor, even got my controls position indicator back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derammo Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The latest Helios release is always at https://github.com/BlueFinBima/Helios/releases/latest Also, it is hosted here on the forums in the link provided above. Helios is very well supported and actively developed. I know this for a fact because I am writing most of the code :) Come to the Capt Zeen discord if you need help. https://discord.gg/KHmkTXe If you find a bug in Helios 1.4 or later, please file it at https://github.com/BlueFinBima/Helios/issues/new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
