Capt Zeen could you update the download on your site with the init.luas you are using, since the original ones broke in the last DCS beta update?

 

I'm curious to try what you are using, since I could not fix the thick lines even after following your steps.

 

Even after removing everything from your package and just using default RIGHT and LEFT_MFCD in monitor config, the lines are very thick, so it could even be a problem with DCS resolution (using 3440x1440+1920x1080 for Helios) that ED have to fix.

 

I have to change the values in MDG_strokesDefs.lua or set "shaderLineParamsUpdatable = false" but the result is not as good as before the patch.

Regarding the RWR, I have it on a fairly legible level though I feel it might be better...

 

In /Mods/aircraft/FA-18C/Cockpit/Scripts/TEWS/indicator/RWR_ALR67_init.lua I changed it to

 

shaderLineParamsUpdatable = true

shaderLineDefaultThickness = 3.0

shaderLineDefaultFuzziness = 1.0

shaderLineDrawAsWire = false

shaderLineUseSpecularPass = true

 

I can read it on the second screen though I would like it to be thicker still...

 

Still very thin and unusubale for me unfortunately...

Is there a way to pull the UFC from CAPT Z's helios profile and all the bindings at the same time and copy them to another profile?

 

 

I just want the UFC to show on my 2nd monitor. I know I could do it with of profiles like for the A10. But cant seem to with his profile. Thanks

Sure..

Just open the profile in Profile Editor, start another Profile Editor, make the basic setzings and copy the needed stuff over.

 

Other solution:

Strip the original profile down to your needs and adjust the monitor-settings.

 

Many ways to skin the cat... ;)

I had to crank mine up to 8 thickness and 4 fuzziness to make it legible, my RWR export is 300x300 though, not sure how big Zeens is. Try playing around with the values.

 

Thanks.

At 15 thickness I was comfortable...

Well, I exported the F18 instruments some weeks ago and, after some days off without touching my PC, I had found that the whole config I had stop working because the last updating. I've spent days trying to sort it out, reading the 16 pages of this post, but I'm not able to fix the issue. Now, I cannot see any instrument.

 

So, please CaptZeen, could you share with us a complete manual how to install your [great] profile fron the begining?( here or in your website) Instead of patching and overwriting luas. Some of us do not know what are we doing and will be useful start the installation again step by step :helpsmilie:

 

Thanks.

You can adjust the size of the viewport in the monitor config file.

When I export the displays, I find the HUD is reduced in size/brightness. To the extent that it becomes unreadable when looking through it into moderate sunlight. The MDI displays remaining on the main cockpit screen are also similarly reduced in size/thickness, although this is not such a problem.

What I ended up doing is going back to Capt Z's original lua files and his latest instructions had me delete one folder. That made everything very readable except for the RWR which I played around with the thickness etc. As far as the Hud, I use a tint mod and that seems to help a little.

Hello guys...

I followed zeen instructions (in the readme.txt) letter by letter...

But i have a lot of issues:

 

1) only the left ddi is exported (i checked also without the helios profile started) but the graphics is unreadable.

 

 

2) when i touch buttons in cockpit nothing happens

 

3) the instruments don't move (adi/altimeter etc etc)

 

Double checked export.lua...viewport scripts in the mods/fa-18c ... The monitor lua file i did (modifyng capt zeen one) is with all the instruments in the correct position...

Don't know what i did wrong

 

 

Ps i am using the latest openbeta

Yesterday i updated the profile files on the site, if yours are olders, please dowload again.

Are you using more than 2 monitors? check the FAQ on the site, there is a bug in helios about this, there is the solution.

Seems like 18 JUL 2018 update broke the RWR export, as well as some controls on the profile, like the Radar and INS knobs, as well as all of the stuff on the BTTM console (RWR, jammer and ECM toggles.)

I concur with Swigger.

OK, here you got the Fix for the OpenBeta.

 

ED changed the order of the devices from the number 38, so from that device number till the 56, all the buttons points to a wrong device numbers on the export.lua.

 

I fixed the problem in this new package.

You only really need to change the new export files from the package. No changes on the profile itself.

I have to say that DCS is just not the same without your profiles.

Copied your export.lua and the helios folder to .......\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts

 

 

Any ideas?
