Weepops Helios profile

You can click them with the mouse, but yes, this was designed for touchscreen use.

I have improved the CMDS panel by adding correct HMCS symbology and by making the PRGM and MODE knobs larger
so they are easier to operate,Uploaded new .hpf file
Blackduke are you using my profile or just updating Ice’s with my goodies?
Hi, I have 2 questions, i just tried your profile but my problems are :
- the CMDS panel is not present
- I placed your key file in config files, but nothing happens when I use my touchscreen (no link with BMS), did i miss something ?
Thanks for your help !

Hi waichou and thank you for your interest in my profile,
I don’t know what can be causing the problem with the CMDS panel, as I have just checked the current download and it works correctly for me.
As regards the no output from your touch screen , have you directed helios to the appropriate falcon key file entry?
Open profile in editor, reduce left side panel to just show monitors and interfaces.
Expand interfaces and you should see keyboard profile and falcon.
enter falcon and direct it to the weepopBMS4.key file in the falcon config folder.
You should now be good to go.

I found problem with CMDS not showing and have uploaded new Weepop-Ice.7z and new Weepop-Ice.hpf files to mediafire.
There are a few changes since last upload such as adding checklists for F16 avionics and a Sth Korea map to airport charts.
It is a work in progress with charts so a new upload will be coming in future.

Hi, thanks for your answer !
I tried with the new version but the CMDS is still not showing… Do you know how can i do ?Thanks !
-
Ok, maybe because of this :
The background image is : Weepop-Ice\Panels\CMDS Panel.png
the real link is : Weepop-Ice\Panels\CMDS Panel .png (the difference is the space before the .). Is it that ?
So i have this now, is it ok for you ?
-
And i forgot, thanks for the keyfile, the problem was the link to BMS, E:/ for me, not C:/
Thanks !

Hi Weepop,
Thanks for the file. No dice thought
this is what my screens look like in full screen vs. windowed.
Pika outIn your extraction setup on your main screen make sure the borders option is not checked and the position is 0 and 0. When you commit in BMS it will go full screen.
-
One last question… When I click in a MFDE gauge by mistake in my touchscreen, BMS become not active, I have to click again in my first screen to come back to the simulator. Do you have any tricks about this ?
Thanks !

No that is not OK, it is both old and new CMDS panels together.There should not be a space before the .
Are you entering the path manually? don’t , use the browse symbol … and go to the correct image.
You should not be able to cause problems touching in MFDE space because of the protective layer over everything.
Can you check your cockpit display extraction settings and make sure borders are not ticked.

Ok, but I don’t find the file without the space before the . Are you sure it is included in the download ?
Thanks !

file is definitely in download, are you sure you have got the latest one, check in charts checklists , there should be 24 jpg’s if you have latest download. If not download again.
If you have latest then its a mystery where CMDS as gone. The one with the space is the old one.
I have uploaded the CMDS.png again on its own to save you doing a complete redownload if you don’t need it.

Ok, I checked again, maybe my download was incomplete, so I have downloaded the jpg missing, thanks for that ! I really enjoy your version !!

Hi !
I am using your profile since this week, I really appreciate it ! I have some wishes (maybe for later…), it can interest you too (I am really not familiar with Helios to do it myself…) :
- Adding a place for the NWS marker (usefull when on ground)
- Adding a shortcut for Idle detent (I start most of the time cold & dark)
- Adding a panel with shortcut for all comms (tower, wingmen, ATC, etc.), so for me : A Z E R T Y and 0 to 9 buttons. I don’t know how to do it. The goal is to not use my keyboard
- Adding a version with a cold & dark state (I made one myself, if someone wants it, I can give it)
A noticed a problem for ILS ON/OFF button (Audio Comm Panel), I think your affectation is wrong, can you check ? (I changed it in my version).
Thanks a lot !!!

The AoA and NWS marker aren’t included because they are right there in front of you in the HUD. Adding them on the profile (at least in my case) would only waste vertical space and it’s tight enough as it is.
IDLE detent should also not be an issue because this is designed with the TM WH which has it built-in. If you have a different HOTAS, it should be easy enough to bind a key somewhere.
As for comms, check out VAC, Voice Attack, or Livrot’s LMC. No need for shortcuts, just say it!
What exactly do you mean about “a version with a cold & dark state”?

Thanks for observation re ILS volume knob. It was definitely faulty. I have corrected it for next upload when I have finished with additions to charts.
I may look at adding NWS indicator, I presume you want to be able to see it when you are not in the pit.

Yes, I only show the HUD in my first screen now, so it would be great to have the NWS in the second screen.
For the Cold and Dark cockpit, I mean a cockpit ready for a rampstart, for the moment I had to change the position for all buttons before start up. -
OK set up Helios and loaded both yours and -Ice’s profiles as per instructions. With both get “error loading profile”. I have 47" main, 2 x 27" (none touch screens) + Asus touchscreen laptop which on network and linked to main PC by “spacedesk”. Running AMD dual vid cards (crossfire) in Win7 pro; laptop win10.
So I get the Helios control center which show profile(s) in its window but get error when push “start” button. -
Load it on the Profile Editor and Reset Monitors.
waichou, I apologize… I forgot you guys fly with no cockpit on.
weepop, could you do me a favor and tell me what “errors” you’ve found in the profile? I suspect stuff like the ILS volume knob… if it’s broken in your profile, that’ll mean it’s because it’s broken on mine. I’m not flying as often as I did so I can’t test these myself. Thanks!

Load it on the Profile Editor and Reset Monitors.
Load profile on Profile Editor, yes?
Well Profile editor stops working when I try and load either “-Ices BMS 4.33 ver.1.2” or “Weepop-Ice” hpf files.
Haven’t worked out what you mean by “reset monitors” yet.
