@-Ice:

Check out my profile for more info.

Thanks. Will do.

Have you checked out my Helios tutorials? Something about panels around 1:50 on the video

@vincent_dimicco:

Hi Toto are you still working on it?

Currently on hiatus due to RL. Hope to get back to it this summer.

OK found on -Ices BMS 4.33 ver.1.2. Have to just click grey area.

Progress! See may post #238 in “Thread: -Ice’s Falcon BMS Helios Profile Updated!” Don’t know if anyone has tried either spacedesk or MouseWithoutBorders. If so it would be interesting to hear about them.

Hi,

the new URL is www.viperpits.org 😉

cheers

Is it possible to render the MFDs only on external monitors and to stop rendering in 3D cockpit?

Many thanks.

“You can get a program that will install DX9.0c from Microsoft. You will have both versions of DirectX for use then.” Lumper

I did. But the DX9.0c Gives me a dialog box that says "you must have windows 98se, XP, 2000…… and so on and so forth installed. I ran it in compatibility mode and it said all DX components installed within a microsecond but Helios still would not install. Other than XP and preceding versions (ME excluded), I ****ING HATE WINDOWS.

Thank you sir!

Sorry, I didn’t post clearly.

I’m talking about making the new callbacks/data from flightdata.h available for Helios to use as Interface Bindings within a profile.

For example, creating a window/button within Helios which will display the Backup UHF Freq and Preset. At the moment this isn’t available as an Input to the window/button.

Cheers,

FYI the touchscreen double input issue and general poor response I had problems with was fixed by this procedure shamelessly copied fom Gadrocsworkshop… menus are slightly different in win 8.1 but disabling right click fixes it:)

By default Windows right clicks when you touch and hold on a touch screen. This is great for interacting with Windows explorer or other regular applications, but causes problems when you are trying to hold down a lamp test or push a MFD or ICP button in Helios.

From the start menu select “Control Panel” then open the “Pen and Touch” control panel.
On the Pen Options tab click on the Press and Hold pen action and then click on the “Settings” button.
Uncheck “Enable press and hold for right-clicking” then click the OK button

Onwards and Upwards

you just solved my problem 🙂 but i had to change the setting in touch screen input, not pen one.
Thanks anyway

Added AVmode button for the TFR.
Push it and active light comes up-auto TFR engaged.

Push again and TFR is off
Then standby light should come up (but thats eyecandy , not my major problem )

So far so good .

On the other hand i have the Normal AP
Here the switch in the pit is not always in sync.

What’s missing here ???

Config:

ok thanks for the info. On a side note, I used your profile and clipped out the MFD’s, built a helios profile just for them, used the in game extractor and it worked great with the lilliputs. Thanks much.

Hello,

I have problems with idisplay and airdisplay for run helios on windows 10. The driver that supports it in windows 8.1 and earlier don’t work in windows 10. Anyone have the same problem, and known how to resolve this?

Thanks!

ok Ice seen it, big improvement

The main problem for me is our keybord in Belgium (azerty)
Lot of translation to do

@mireazma:

In that video he’s using a 3- video card rig and I guess he plugs in the 10 monitors plus the projector in 4-output cards.

Three Video Card Rigs are pretty easy these days, but if it bothers you so much you can always get a single card that supports six monitors. I have two of them in my rig right now.

CobaltUK you are a genius my friend!!! Seems like that was what was holding me back. All installed, now I just have to work out how to use it 😉 Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Gday guys, I am having a few issues in game. I have built my own helios pit in BMS using Ice’s profile in game, however I am unable to bind ECM on/off, even the key strokes in game dont work. Is there a way to change the key strokes for this? is anyone experiencing the same problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

@Dunc:

Correct touchscreen usage is currently not possible for BMS (only talking about BMS itself here, external tools may work nevertheless), as the input system handles relative mouse input only. Touchscreens need absolute coordinates for proper handling. It’s a known issue and has been like this for ALL Falcon 4 versions. A rewrite of the input system would be needed to solve this. It’s on the ToDo-list, but don’t hold your breath.

I know this is an old subject, but being able to activate controls via my touch screen monitor like I could in F4:AF would satisfy my concept of realism regarding the sim. I prefer to activate various cockpit controls/switches (gear, Master Mode with some exceptions, MFD pushbuttons) manually, the way that (I think) a real Viper pilot does. For now I gotta use my mouse for most of 'em, the exceptions being my rudder pedals (rudder and wheel brakes) and my MFD frames (buttons).

The most usefull app i have ever seen for falcon. simple and user friendly. I have nor able to connetct to via other mfd apps. belive me, this is great. there is no exaggeration…
