New bee question: the gadrocksworkshop.com is still down or down again.

 

I have the Helios package downloaded from the .dk shadow site.

 

Does somebody have the Loz SM v2.1 rar file available and is willing to share it?

I am new to DCS and would like to try a multi monitor setup in view mode first before spending the money on a secondary touch screen.

 

Edited: the site came up later today and I was able to download the files.

SOLVED: thanks Capt_Z, error on my part.

I have a problem.

There is absolutely NO WAY I can get the new buttons copied from one instance of the editor in to another and thus I cannot get the new buttons for the radios in Loz profile! It simply doesn't work as it does in the instruction video. Any help would be appreciated :D before I get bonkers and throw out my PC ;)

New problem.

I cannot get Capt Zeen profiles to work! When i use the scripts included everything breaks and does not work. Then I have to tell Helios to set up the DCS interface again and Loz profile works (not the radio fix). If I then try to use Capt scripts it breaks again. Any ideas to what I'm doing wrong here?

HI guys,

 

I have a problem with Helios not refreshing the gauges and instruments exported, fast enough.

I tried changing the refresh rate in the export.lua file but there was no change in the result.

I am using Windows 10 so there's no Aero theme.

 

Just wondering if anyone encountered this problem before?

 

Thank you,

Anyone working on getting Helios to work with Windows 10? I have been trying this for the last few days, with no success. No matter what I do, the profiles never run.

 

Any suggestions?

Well I must be doing something wrong then. Like I said, I have fooled around with this for around two weeks off and on. Last few days mostly on. When I test a profile on the Control Center, absolutely nothing happens on the second monitor.

When I went to Windows 10 x64 last fall I had a problem with Helios where the Editor and Control Center wouldn't work correctly. I finally got it fixed. I usually write down my own Readme on how I fixed it so if I have to do it again. But I looked all over and cannot find any Readme on how to fix it. If I find it, I will post my solution.

 

But I remember fixing some problems with running apps as Admin. But my Helios currently does not have Run as Admin checked, so that probably isn't it. I also remember fixing some app by checking it's Properties/Security and making sure it had 'Full Control'. Also, check the same 'Full Control' for the apps Folder. That might be a fix for this Helios problem. Or try running it from the root of your drive as the path name might be too long or be a problem?

Tried all of the above. Still a no go. I also checked to make sure that windows 10 had .net 4 installed and it does. I am pretty sure this is something simple that I am missing. Just don't know what it could be.

 

Incidentally, here is what happens. When I start a profile, I get a "Helios has stopped working.... etc." box and the program dies.

Do you get a crash with the editor?

 

Did you try try running the installer as Administrator?

Hey, I found a post that I made when I finally fixed Helios last fall. It was my BitDefender Ransomware stopping it from running. (I didn't know the new Win 10 version of BD had that!)

 

Also, look through that thread. Others had problems and some fixes too..

Thats intersesting, I switched to Win 10 quite awhile back and had no issue with Helios editor, and I use Bitdefender 2016 as well, but I did NOT have to make any changes in Bitdefender?

I believe by default, the Ransomware in BD is on. When I ran some apps(not all) it would pop up and ask me to Allow the app to run. I clicked ok. Another window popped up that I didn't read, and I just closed it. I assumed that second window was a confirmation. But later I found out that it was not! I had to click again to allow apps to run..

Sorry, I haven't flown in a few weeks, so I don't know if I'm still working or not.
