Weepops Helios profile
-
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? donât , 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 donât 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 jpgâs 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 donât 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 laterâŚ), it can interest you too (I am really not familiar with Helios to do it myselfâŚ) :
- 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 donât 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 arenât 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 itâs 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 Livrotâs LMC. No need for shortcuts, just say it!
What exactly do you mean about âa version with a cold & dark stateâ?

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 -Iceâs profiles as per instructions. With both get âerror loading profileâ. I have 47" main, 2 x 27" (none touch screens) + Asus touchscreen laptop which on network and linked to main PC by âspacedeskâ. 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 âstartâ 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 âerrorsâ youâve found in the profile? I suspect stuff like the ILS volume knob⌠if itâs broken in your profile, thatâll mean itâs because itâs broken on mine. Iâm not flying as often as I did so I canât 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 â-Ices BMS 4.33 ver.1.2â or âWeepop-Iceâ hpf files.
Havenât worked out what you mean by âreset monitorsâ yet.
-
Yes, load it on the Profile Editor⌠not sure why itâll stop working though. Maybe another corrupted download? Once the Profile Editor is working, on the upper-left, click on Profile and then click on Reset Monitors. This âresetsâ the profile to detect your monitor setup and work for you. For instance, my profile will work with someone with two monitors. Whether that monitor is two 1920x1080 res, or maybe one is 2560x1440 res and the other is 1920x1080 res, or maybe one is 2560x1808 and the other is a 1920x1200 res. However, on each example, the user will have to âreset monitorâ so that the profile will detect and set itself up to that specific monitor configuration. Indeed, in my case, it is one 5896x1080 res and another at 1920x1080 res.
Hope that makes sense!

So suggest re download yours and Weepopâs profiles? (also Rogues which I tried to see if same thing happened which it did) maybe also reinstall Helios? (after uninstall)
Just to check. I am using âHeliosSetup-Stable-1.3.190.msiâ etc.c and â-Ices BMS 4.33 ver.1.2.hpfâ, etc and âWeepop-Ice.hpfâ, etc and placing files where instructed (Docs/Helios/etc + *.key in BMS/config/etc) OK?
Re setting monitors will presumably be sorted if I can get Helios to accept the profiles in the first place.

forget NWS as helios does not output anything to drive it.
Ice
nothing wrong with YOUR ILS volume it was just mine fubared.
Falcon only has ON/OFF callbacks but you had provided a rotary encoder and I messed it up and ended up with it outputting intercom volume. I have now changed it to a two position knob and relabelled the background with just ON or OFF , but yours is OK because you made it step the correct amounts and send the correct callbacks. -

OK uninstalled and removed everything. Re downloaded everything. Still Helios profile editor shuts down as soon as i try and open any profile. (But not if I create and save a new profile with nothing in it)
? The âImagesâ folder which is pasted into (in my case) C:/Users/Name/My Documents/Helios/Images is the folder(s) labeled â-Iceâs Falcon BMS ver.2â or âWeepop-Iceâ or for Rogue just to check âViperâ âŚ.Correct???profiles in same place C:/Users/Name/My Documents/Helios/Profiles also â-Ices BMS 4.33 ver.1.2.hpfâ or âWeepop-Ice.hpfâ and Rogues 2⌠Correct??
keyfiles in BMS User Config folder? I assume these are necessary but hope they donât conflict with Snelles Key file for my X55??
Any ideas? (Win7 Pro and no issues on other BMS stuff such as Lightning Falcon MFD Extractor or The BMS built in one.)
-
Hmmm⌠no idea why Helios would shut down if you open a profile.
My images library is in
\Libraries\My Documents\Helios\Images
and I have two folders, mine and weepopsâ, in the \Images folder. Same thing for profiles. So I think youâre good here. Have you tried opening your saved profile? Can you confirm which version of Helios you are using? -
Using HeliosSetup-Stable-1.3.190 as from one of your posts
If you mean by"opening your saved profile" the new one I created, yes it opens but I havenât actually put any images in it. I could use you youtube how to and do a couple just to see what happens. Will revert.Re keyfiles; are they essential? Would they conflict with others? I. E., I donât want to actually load them as using Snelles X55 keyfile.
In the âImagesâ folder, confirm my actual folder wording is as post 43. Likewise the hpf file wording. I am assuming that is the case but mislabeled folders/files might be an issue.
Thanks for doing your best to help me in any case!
-
Yeah, your folders look alright. Same with the profiles. No renaming should be needed.
What OS are you using? Maybe Helios is having problems with Win10?
As for the key files, yes, they tell Helios what key combinations to send to BMS. You can use Snellesâ profile but if his âgear upâ is ALT+G (for example) but my âgear upâ is CTRL+G (for example), then youâll be throwing the gear lever and be wondering why nothingâs happening. Suffice to say we make no guarantees once you deviate from the stuff weâre using.
