sobe Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Nic suggested that the reference to the RWR for the viewport be changed to FA_18C_RWR and that solved the location problem but did not solved the green spots.

SimSynergy Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi all, SimSynergy here. Been may years since I’ve been able to get back into this sim and wonderful programmes like Helios. I am in awe of the ingenuity behind it and the guys that are developing it! Especially ŷou Capt. Zeen! Amazing work. A definite donation is on the way to you guys for the hard work! Getting back on the sim has been great and I love the community here, I recently purchased the f18 module couldn’t wait to try it out with Capt.Zeens profile which is a work of art. Since it’s been awhile I thought I would follow your instructional video of installation and setup, which I did very carefully. It took me a while to get to grips with it all again but got the profile to work with DCS and my screen setup. I used OVGME as stated and it seems to work fine for all viewport exports except the UFC ???????? All 3 MFCDs and IFEI and RWR will show but not the UFC. I have methodically tried applying the init.lua’s manually without the OVGME but the results were worse where only the mfcds would export. It’s a puzzler. I’m so close yet so far. I need to start to study .lua and the file structure of the game better to troubleshoot these issues but as of right now I can’t figure this one out. Is it the inti.lua for the UFC that’s at fault or is it Viewport handling files. I’m really not sure where to pinpoint the problem!! Any help or advice from you guys would be amazing. I just want to be able to enjoy this amazing programme and profile to the full! Many thank guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 In the monitor config file: --UFC F18_UFC = { x = 2668; y = 30; width = 455; height = 263; } and in the UFC init file: ------------------------ added by Capt Zeen dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua") try_find_assigned_viewport("F18_UFC") ------------------------ end of added by Capt Zeen That is the extent of my limited knowledge.

SimSynergy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Hi folks, sorry if this had been discussed before somewhere else, but I havnt found info on it. I can’t get CapLoz’s A10 profile to show when running the new Helios. Is it the image files that need to be loaded in a certain way? I’m really struggling. Any guidance would be amazing. Many thanks guys. Edited June 25, 2019 by SimSynergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks guys. Hi SS, In the LOZ Readme it says: "Be sure to extract all of the ........contents............. (NOT THE WHOLE FOLDER AS THAT WILL CONFUSE THE LINKS TO THE IMAGES)...... of the folder "Extract these Images" to "user" My Documents/Helios/Images folder." So, in his zip file you open the folder called 'Extract these Images', and copy all of the contents(files and folders) to your My Documents/Helios/Images folder. Here is a list of the folder & files from that folder to copy in case that clears it up for you: Airports charts LozImages NMSP 2 way Dome Down.png 2 way Dome Up.png 3 way Small Down.png 3 way Small

DRTDXBOX Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Someone who can advise me on how to correct the error of the whole process to use the F18 profile on a tablet connected by usb to the PC. I followed all the tutorials to the letter and I worked perfectly the profiles of the helicopter K50 and the plane F15, but unfortunately I do not get the graphics of the three screens of the F18, all clocks or tacomentros of the F18 work but not the three screens. There will be instructions to follow so that the images appear in these three screens, I would greatly appreciate who gave me those instructions or a tutorial to correct any errors The tutorial on YouTube of CaptZeen to run the Helios with the profile of the F18 did not work for me. I did everything as is, and nothing. DRTDXBOX Alguien que me puede aconsejar sobre cómo corregir el error de todo el proceso para usar el perfil F18 en una tableta conectada por USB a la PC. Seguí todos los tutoriales al pie de la letra y funciona perfectamente los perfiles del helicóptero K50 y el avión F15, pero desafortunadamente no obtengo los gráficos de las tres pantallas del F18, todos los relojes o tacomentros del F18 funcionan pero no los graficos de tres pantallas Habrá instrucciones a seguir para que las imágenes aparezcan en estas tres pantallas, Agradecería mucho que me puedan dar esas instrucciones o un tutorial para corregir que las pantallas no den imagen.
