linden Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hi. Quick question, is it possible to use dcs bios and helios at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhog Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Don't see why you couldn’t. Each one has its own lua code which the export.lua file would reference. But Helios, from my own experience, created lag issues when I used it with DCS. It was so frustrating, I removed it entirely from my PC. It’s also what motivated me to use DCS BIOS for my cockpit as it was so easy to program Arduino boards and there was excellent documentation for DCS BIOS. Regards John W aka WarHog.

linden Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Warhog thanks for the reply. I do use dcs bios for all the switches, but i need somthing to export all the gauges, i know i can export some gauges from the f18 but not all, so i was gonna try them toghter. I have try to edit the export.lua by adding the lines so both är in the same export.lua file but i cant get it to work. dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-BIOS\BIOS.lua]]) dofile(lfs.writedir()..'Scripts\\Helios\\HeliosExport.lua') But i cant seem to make it work.? Thanks Edited October 7, 2018 by linden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhog Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I wish I could be more help Linden, but lua is way beyond my pay grade. I don't know why it wouldn’t work since all it’s doing is exporting info much like Tacview and Helios would do. Regards John W aka WarHog. My Cockpit Build Pictures...

Capt Zeen Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I use helios and dcs-bios without problems. try to put the Helios line, first in the export.lua, then the DCS-bios line.

romeokilo Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Definitely can be done. I use both. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavespawn Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I also use both and it works fine. I will get some lagging response in Helios if I neglect to restart my machine prior to flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
