I don't use Helios since two years...back then i had FPS issues because for exporting MFDs i had to use much more resolution then the real one....1 screen was 1080p and the touchscreen was 1600x900 but for exporting MFD i used only a minimal part of it..but dcs saw it as a full 1920x1980 screen....and if i recall correctly part of the fps issue was also due to the fact that was not possible to have the display in full screen...someone could kinldy tell me if this

is this now solved or there is a workaround?

Now i have a 32" 1440p screen and i plan to get a 20-23" 1080p touchscreen but before buying it i would like to know if these problems are solved...

Thanks

My plan is publish it tonight when i arrive home.

Just need to finish some graphics and create the final package.

I am going to publist the viewport export instructions too, if anyone need it.

 

Capt,

Thank you soo much for doing this. Could you by chance do two? The second having no MFD bezels for the top DDIs and move up to the top of the screen? I have two Cougar MFDs that are attached to the top bezel edges of each side of an acer 23" Monitor.

Your Search-Fu is far better than mine!

For first time HELIOS users, who want to use the F/A-18 Helios once it releases, is their a beginners guide or video on how to setup?

 

 

Search YouTube, there are some really good tutorial segments on there from years ago

Did you figure out how to do the view ports? If so, is it a different process than before?

Does this new profile include rewritten stuff for the already existing modules? I was just in a server using a su27 profile and most of the stuff no longer works. Was using the most recent profile. Maybe I need to use the 2016 one.

 

Edit: Tried the 2016 profile and nothing works in multiplayer. If I use the November 2017 one stuff lights up and my RPM gauge works, but nothing else. Here's to hopping the profiles get a face lift that allow them to to work with all the new export restrictions etc. I miss using Helios and Capt. Zeen's profiles are all I run.

This is a neat trick to locate the screen coordinates of your viewports in the cockpit:
