Capt Zeen F-15C Helios Profile ! ! !

Hello all !

Here you got it !

After working on the SU25T profile, i decided to go far width the F-15C one, and see what can i do tricking Helios to send more data from DCS that the FC2 interface can get.

I manage a way to send two data values in each FC2 input, and width this trick i implement as much information i can get from DCS for FC3 aircraft types: actual Hud modes, airport selected name, Fuel in each tank, inner and external, bingo fuel lights, fuel low lights, left and right gen lights, Gmeter, Angle of Attack, Air Speed, Altitude, vetical speed, engines rpm and temp, ADI, HSI, etc

I also included switches and buttons for radar operations, electrical power, engines start, alt and att holds, ECM, hud modes, wp select, nav and taxi lights, fuel conmutator, weapons and fuel jett, etc.

I designed, aswell, the MFC adjusted to be used width the MFCD-F3, (http://qopru.com/mfcdfc3/) so you can put MFCD-F3 just below the helios windows and use it from the holes adapted to it.

The RWR is designed to be used width some other tool (still waiting for it)

Of course i added the navigation panel from others profiles, so you can check airport charts, tactical maps, ndbs, etc

You have all the information and download link in http://www.captzeen.com

Hope you like it ! !

Thank you!! :thumbup:

Thanks, looks great!

Looks great. Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

Great Profile. Thank you Capt Z-some comments and questions

So far so good. My comments and questions are the following:

Just out of curiosity, what is the technical issue with the TWS not appearing?

In the MFCD blank space, when I put the bottom switch on FIX, I get most of the Weapons Control Panel, but there is no showing of any missiles even though the panel in the game shows missiles.

When I switch to the MFCD add in, in order to get it to work, I need to cause it to "force reconnect."

COMMENTS:

for users with 2 1920x1080 monitors these numbers work for me

in the monitor config file,

GUI =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 1920;

height = 1080;

}

--radar F-15C

RIGHT_MFCD =

{

x = 2228;

y = 25;

width = 318;

height = 318;

}

For the MFCD add in this works for me:

start javaw -Djava.library.path=lib -jar lib/MFC_FC3_v1.1.jar -useMFD2 -xy1940,450 -s350 -green -pagesNAV,ENG,WPT,POS,STG

Note that if you have TM MFDs, then you can control the MFCD with the TM MFD buttons and the game will not lose focus (after you cause the MFCD to force reconnect).

As the instructions says:

- MFC window mode:

Off - black screen

Fix - fix graphic, only decorative

MFCD-FC3 - hole to put MFCD-F3 behind, all the switches fit width the external tool.

The fix position in MFC and RWR are just decorative to fill the hole. Width old versions of lock-on was a way to get the payload of the airplanes, but as far as i know, rightnow those commands dont work anymore in DCSworld. If i find a way to doit in the future, i will implement it.

For the TWS not apearing, whats exactly you mean? the label over the button?

The reference to the TWS was to the RWR and now that I read the complete readme file, I realize that both the Weapons Control Panel and the RWR are not functional. My bad.

The readme indicates that the export.lua has been tweaked for the F-15C. I haven't compared them, except to notice that they are the same size, so I wondered if this export.lua works with the Su-25T or do I need the export lua from that package?

Are you guys also getting severe drop in FPS when exporting the radar?

Any solution to that?

I have searched for it but I haven't found any answers.

this might be a bit stupid but what is this?

Width this export.lua you can fly all planes, plus the F-15C.

So you can use this one for the su25T aswell.

I suspected as much but just wanted to be sure. Thanks.

This looks great on my second screen but the Radar top left is just a blank screen. How do you export to it?

In the web you got the instructions to configure the second monitor and export the radar.

Please consider the F86 or Mig 21 as your next project.

Thanks Capt Z have found a few threads on the matter

Thx Capt Zeen..this is looking good...it was easy to change to 1650x1050 resolution and four monitor configuration. More time was taking to get MFCD-F3 to work with this. Just need to find time to learn this bird.

One thing is bothering me... exported radar is red (same color as stick information screen)..can't find nowhere information can this color be changed.

Thanks for thIs profile capt zeen. Got it working fine and looks great. Have you found a tool for the rwr yet? Keep up your fantastic work.

cheers chris

Great profile! Thanks for posting.

Unfortunately the link to the MFCD-F3 tool seems dead..

Can someone help?

F-15 Helios ?'s

Hey, Capt. Zeen.

A couple of questions for you regarding your AWESOME F-15 helios profile:

1. Does this application cause any performance drop in game?

2. Can this be used on a separate monitor that is not touchscreen?

thanks!

No, and Yes. The controls can be manipulated with a mouse as well.

Profile was added to the ED Wiki Hardware Profiles page

Thanks a lot, MenphisBelle !

Please help. When starting this profile helios will crash to desktop. I have installed the new export file. I have other profiles on same machine and works fine. Thanks for help.

Thanks for these Cpt....can I put in an order for the F-86 next :)
