Capt Zeen Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 I have it set up so that it is in /saved games/openbeta/Scripts/Helios/then the 2 Lua files go in the Helios folder. The new export script just goes in the Scripts folder. :thumbup: Capt_Zeen_HELIOS PROFILES_WEBSITE Capt_Zeen_Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudie Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Capt Zeen could you update the download on your site with the init.luas you are using, since the original ones broke in the last DCS beta update? I'm curious to try what you are using, since I could not fix the thick lines even after following your steps. Even after removing everything from your package and just using default RIGHT and LEFT_MFCD in monitor config, the lines are very thick, so it could even be a problem with DCS resolution (using 3440x1440+1920x1080 for Helios) that ED have to fix. I have to change the values in MDG_strokesDefs.lua or set "shaderLineParamsUpdatable = false" but the result is not as good as before the patch.

ron533 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Regarding the RWR, I have it on a fairly legible level though I feel it might be better... In /Mods/aircraft/FA-18C/Cockpit/Scripts/TEWS/indicator/RWR_ALR67_init.lua I changed it to shaderLineParamsUpdatable = true shaderLineDefaultThickness = 3.0 shaderLineDefaultFuzziness = 1.0 shaderLineDrawAsWire = false shaderLineUseSpecularPass = true I can read it on the second screen though I would like it to be thicker still... Still very thin and unusubale for me unfortunately... Callsign SETUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladinsky Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Still very thin and unusubale for me unfortunately... I had to crank mine up to 8 thickness and 4 fuzziness to make it legible, my RWR export is 300x300 though, not sure how big Zeens is. Try playing around with the values.

yeldraw Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Up Front Controller Is there a way to pull the UFC from CAPT Z's helios profile and all the bindings at the same time and copy them to another profile? I just want the UFC to show on my 2nd monitor. I know I could do it with of profiles like for the A10. But cant seem to with his profile. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RightStuff Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Sure.. Just open the profile in Profile Editor, start another Profile Editor, make the basic setzings and copy the needed stuff over. Other solution: Strip the original profile down to your needs and adjust the monitor-settings. Many ways to skin the cat... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felipius Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Well, I exported the F18 instruments some weeks ago and, after some days off without touching my PC, I had found that the whole config I had stop working because the last updating. I've spent days trying to sort it out, reading the 16 pages of this post, but I'm not able to fix the issue. Now, I cannot see any instrument. So, please CaptZeen, could you share with us a complete manual how to install your [great] profile fron the begining?( here or in your website) Instead of patching and overwriting luas. Some of us do not know what are we doing and will be useful start the installation again step by step :helpsmilie: Thanks.

flyco Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 When I export the displays, I find the HUD is reduced in size/brightness. To the extent that it becomes unreadable when looking through it into moderate sunlight. The MDI displays remaining on the main cockpit screen are also similarly reduced in size/thickness, although this is not such a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 What I ended up doing is going back to Capt Z's original lua files and his latest instructions had me delete one folder. That made everything very readable except for the RWR which I played around with the thickness etc. As far as the Hud, I use a tint mod and that seems to help a little.

Martus Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Seems like 18 JUL 2018 update broke the RWR export, as well as some controls on the profile, like the Radar and INS knobs, as well as all of the stuff on the BTTM console (RWR, jammer and ECM toggles.)

Capt Zeen Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) OK, here you got the Fix for the OpenBeta. ED changed the order of the devices from the number 38, so from that device number till the 56, all the buttons points to a wrong device numbers on the export.lua. I fixed the problem in this new package. You only really need to change the new export files from the package. No changes on the profile itself. http://captzeen.com/helios/downloads.asp ..
