UH-1H Helios Profile?

Many thanks, love your work. 1.0 still the current version?

I'm trying to get something setup for toggle switches, any idea how I can get the UH-1 info to the switch? In helios I only see info for the A-10C and Blackshark.

 

EDIT: I figured out the process, but for some reason I can only get the battery switch to work. None of the others are switching.

For send info from sim to helios profile, you may edit the export.lua and you need a interface (.dll) for helios. I don´t know how to do at the moment.

Thanks.

Yes, the 1.0 is the current version.

Have not tested this yet, but will do in few weeks.

Are switches-n-buttons synchronized with sim?

Synchronized? no, sorry.

The helios profile send keys to the sim, but the sim not send info to the helios.

I configure the position of the swiches of the profile to coincide with the initial position on the sim when you enter in the chopper.

So the issue is that UH-1 do not sending info out of the sim? I mean if this problem in sim or we just have to make some settings in Helios?

P.S. No offensive, just trying to help. :

We have to edit the Export.lua (sim) and make settings in Helios also.

Thanks for help, i need a lot.

If you use helios on second monitor, you have to had your own "monitorsetup".lua, that is an archive with your monitors configuration.

See this post about the monitor setup (.lua)

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=89282

P.S. If you need, i attach my ".lua"

MonitorSetupAbnaxus.lua

Thanks!

For send info from sim to helios profile, you may edit the export.lua and you need a interface (.dll) for helios. I don´t know how to do at the moment.

Actually, I meant the other way. What I can do for the A-10 is to have my toggle switch, on/off spst, where in Helios I have pressed = battery switch on, released (off), battery switch off. I'm trying to do that for the Huey so that all the switches I need for startup are actual toggle switches. I know that most commands for the Huey are a single key press for on/off (ie fuel is 'F' for both on and off) I hope this changes. My issue though is that Helios isn't sending the key presses to the Huey.

mmmm the kneeboard isnt working for me. I have added the text from monitor config to my export example.lua file in monitor setup, that I use for my helios multi monitor setup, as below.

_ = function(p) return p; end;

name = _('Export example');

Description = 'Export example';

and then changed the kneeboard init,lua to the above post, yet i cant see anything when i press R Shift K.

Any idea where Im going wrong?

Cowboy10uk

Cowboy, try this one in your Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator

init.lua

Cowboy, make a backup of your init.lua and try with this !!!

init_kneeboard.rar

Thanks guys, will try tonight. :)

stupid question alert..............

what is Helios what is it, how does it work, what does it do and where can I get it?

......................end of stupid question alert.

Okay, so i figured i'd dive into helios to get some export stuff going. But at this time i don't really know what i'm supposed to do.

I got the export.lua file copied to the C:\user\[me]\dcs\scripts. Now how do i edit it so i can start adding the uh-1h codes/lines/thingies that are actually exported? And what does helios need to recognise it all?

edit: My goal is to get gauges and lights export to work eventually.

Thanks guys, will try tonight.

I'm not sure how to do it

Yes thankyou mate, livebaits ini file worked a treat.

Now just to get the gauges outputting somehow.

Anyone with a link to a Helios tutorial?

Cowboy are you making notes? ;-)

Are you using a tablet for the Helios display over a network or are you using a second touch screen monitor? EDIT: never mind. I just read your signature.

@ Frusheen and soupdragon, try looking here

http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com/helios/manual

Anyone with a link to a Helios tutorial?

Thanks guys. Great work going on here.

I now have Helios running on my iPad. Weapons switches are not working for me but its early days. Looking forward to seeing more features for the Huey added over time.

Frusheen

Care to help me out mate, never used Helios before, but I have an Ipad that is sitting itching to be used!

Any tutorials for putting it on the ipad.

Thanks

OMG

Got it working on the Ipad using Air Display from Itunes which runs the ipad as a second monitor.

Now I am away to read up on the whole config thing to see if I can somehow butcher some gauges working!

A couple of issues I have noticed when using the above.

One, I have to start Trackir5 software before I turn on the air display, otherwise it crashes.

Secondly, I lose the mouse crosshairs on the screen, and have to click my mouse 5 button for it to reappear..

None of the above are game changers.
