bouncerj21 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi I have just upgraded to the latest stable version of DCS 1.5.5 and this appears to have broken my Helios Exports. All of the gauges and switches are now not working :( Any ideas ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Check the files that have been modified overwritten in the latest backupxxx directory that DCS updater is creating at each update. Maybe your export.lua has been modified in the process and the Helios lines removed? https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncerj21 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi Thanks for the quick response. Nothing appears to have been modified in the Backup folder for the export.lua. I have just downloaded Capt_Zeen latest export file and applied that to my C:\Users\xxxx\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts folder and still nothing :( Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G00dnight Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 You are correct Helios and DCS-Bios no longer works in 155, I have checked and nothing has changed in scripts so it must be in the game itself.

Warhog Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I haven't been able to get Helios to work either. I checked the export.lua file and it was intact. I even made a new one and tried Helios but nothing worked. I finally went to the backups and still the same. Nothing seemed to work. I haven't tried DCS-BIOS yet but if its screwed as well, Ian (being the programming genius that he is) should be able to get it back up and functioning fairly quickly.:thumbup: I just wonder if the argument numbers have all changed.:( That may account for Helios being totally unresponsive.

Scooternutz Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I looked at the file structure and I can't see anything that would prevent exports from happening. Really weird since it is Lua driven. I tried doing the old in game directory config export folder and nothing. I will keep digging. This is a show stopper for me. I have a Volair Pit that is Helios driven with three touch screens so this a no go for me.

Capt Zeen Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Ok. if you are using one of my export.lua, look for this line: os.setlocale("ISO-8559-1", "numeric") and comment it like this: -- os.setlocale("ISO-8559-1", "numeric") That fix the problem. now i need to go out with my wife, when i come back home, i am going to revise why this line dont work.

bouncerj21 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Slightly off the 1.5.5 topic. Is there another topic in the forums with getting the exports working in 2.0 ? I have searched but can't find anything. I have all the switches, gauges and MFD exports working but can't get the clock, CMSP, Radio displays etc to work Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course you need to configure the monitor configuration to indicate the position of the viewports on the screen.

Beeroshima Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Is anyone else experiencing some of the A10C's exports not working correctly? I have a 3 monitor setup. My MFCD's both seem to be working, however, my countermeasure panels, digital clock and radio frequencies all seem to be appearing outside of the area i have defined in my monitor setup file. I've changed the size and coordinates but they are remaining stretched and in the location they seem to be stuck in. Snacko was experiencing the same issue. After Testing, the issue isn't happening in Vegas. Caucus version only. I'm using the exact same Monitor Config lua in both versions. it works perfectly in 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 No, I was not experiencing that viewport issue. When I was testing I did not have my mods installed, so that was my bad. They show up fine with I have my mods installed. I was helping Beero yesterday. To be clear, he is using the same viewport export mod and MonitorSetup lua files for both 2.0 and 1.5.?? and he is saying it only distorts some viewports in 1.5.?? (not sure which version he's using). He did a repair but that did not help. It is strange..

The FNG Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I can't get Helios or UltraMFCD to work. I'm not too savvy when it comes to editing LUA files, so I need UMFCD (which is absolutely awesome for noobs like me). I've got a projector for the main and 3 external screens for Helios and am currently working on building a working HUD... as of now, it's a paper weight. Any word on an update for either app? Or better yet, is there a chance we'll see in-game support for exporting the indicators (i.e. BMS 4.33)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
