New Capt Zeen UH-1H V2.0 Helios profile !!!

Hello all!

Here i come with a new UH-1H v2.0 Helios profile!

We already have a UH-1H Helios profile, we really need a new one?

Well, several reasons made me create this new one:

1- At the moment Helios don't have a UH1H interface, so when i made the first profile in 2016, i was forced to use the old FC interface.

2- For the outputs i used a largue keyboard default file, and then use the key commands to send the switch clicks to DCS. And every time ED made changes on those files, we can have problems.

3- Using the keyboard to send the commands, force to create diferent version of the profile for diferent international keyboards, making the creation of a profile a real pain.

4- After 3 years of changes on DCS, several controls of the profile stop working anymore, so we really need a revision of the entire profile.

Some months ago, i created a new general purpose interface for Helios.

Now i can create profiles using this interface, giving all the functionallity, inputs and outputs, to all the airplanes we need even if they don't got a interface. Whith it i remade the new MI-8 profile, and now is time for the UH-1H.

So i start redesigning all the art for the diferent panels, removing all the keyboards commands, so no more default.lua needed and adding new instruments for the copilot and ram temperature.

I replaced aswell some of the old instruments for others more eficients, using the new controls implemented on the latest versions of Helios.

And finally, i use my new Kneeboard control in Helios editor to create a new NAV panel, a Kneeboard with all the airport charts from all the actual DCS maps! including my Normandy Aerodrome charts v1.0 package.

So.... Here you got it... The new UH-1H V2.0 profile !!

- THANKS:

I made the entire graphic art, based on screenshots of the simulator, and the textures folder of the game.

I used the airport charts from http://www.virtual-jabog32.de

I used the Persian Gulf Kneeboard pages by Pellelil - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303320/

I used the Nevada/Arizona Airports diagrams V2.3 - http://www.476vfightergroup.com

I used the DCS Normandy Aerodrome Charts V1.0 by Capt Zeen - http://www.captzeen.com

For the export.lua i used the Loophole version, compatible width KA50, A10c and FC3 as a base for all my implementations.

In the export files i include a couple of functions by [FSF]Ian to export the digits of the UV26 for the MI-8

I want to give thanks to Bluefinbima, for let me include the new interface and all the new helios controls.

Thanks to Rashmaninov, for implementing the new helios Trans-rotate control.¡Gracias amigo!

Thanks to Cylution, yzfanimal, Damien022, Derammo, and Piet Van Nes for the good work done implementing new Helios features.

And of course to Gadroc for creating Helios, this great software.

Absolutely fantastic!

I admire your work for a very long time! Of course, since I mainly fly the FC3 models, I would be glad to have profiles for them, but of course I fully understand that you have other priorities. Anyway, you really do an outstanding job !!!

Works great! Thanks for the hard work and dedication you have to these profiles!

Thanks for your hard work in this community. I have an issue you may be able to help with:

I am having difficulty adding new switches and buttons on the new V2 profile. It seems the keyboard interface does not work anymore for assigning new key presses like the old versions of export and profile.

For example I added a few helpful switches in the old huey v1 profile for flex site, pilot site, site brightness ect to the pedestal 2 panel and autopilot switches to the overhead panel, but these can no longer be cut and pasted from one profile to another, nor will adding them through the keyboard interface work in game either. I'm stumped......

They can not be copied from one profile to another because they dont have the same interface.

The old one was FC and the new one is the Generic interface.

But as far as i know you can add new buttons and use the keyboard interface if you want.

For some reason Dcs will not accept any newly created Helios key presses. I have configured the switches the same way as before using keyboard interface but nothing works..

I added an example of a test switch I made on the front panel underneath the Indicated airspeed gauge to toggle the Flex site for the copilot, with keyboard press of "m" when toggled. Worked on the old versions and old export to do this way but for some reason it will not accept. All other settings are stock on the profile other than a monitor reconfig.

Thanks for the profile, i am going to take a look this afternoon.

i made a fast test with your profile.

on the send keys you can´t use capital letters so M is not going to work

You need to use m.

The capitals letter need to be used only in the special keys, for example: {TAB}m

..

Hmmmm still no joy with the uncapitalized letters.

Could you perhaps send back a verified working profile on your machine to test using keyboard sends? Just a couple random switches in the panel. This way i can determine if its my helios install or Dcs install thats not workimg correctly. Im using the latest version of Helios and latest open Beta

Appreciate all the help!
