Helios profile issues

Ah, I think it simply moved everything from 1 to 2, but the background image used has stayed on 1.
Bring up your Properties window and your Layers window… on your Layers window, unlock “Panel FRONT CONSOLE” and select it. On your Properties window, you will see BACKGROUND and then Image and a box that should say “-Ice’s Falcon BMS ver.2\Panels\Front Console.png”
This is what you want to delete from your Monitor 1 and make sure you have it on Monitor 2. From the looks of your screenshot, that .png has been “left behind” on Monitor 1.

Well I didn’t see any setting “Layers window, unlock “Panel FRONT CONSOLE” and select it” but by just fiddling around I seem to have done it! Not sure I can repeat it but never mind! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
One issue though. It seems to “kill” monitor 3 though. Mouse pointer moves there but just white creen and noting else (like MFD extractor) shows up.
-
That’s because you need to remove the BACKGROUND on Monitor 3… to do this, refer to my last post.
Or refer to around the 3:20 mark on my video

Thanks! Did it and getting hang of it! I assume in theory it would be possible to have say left monitor with left console stuff, right monitor with right console and say the centre sections with a laptop (attached via spacedesk or similar) under the centre monitor which would be showing falconBMS?

One of the reasons I made those videos is to help ME remember how to do stuff! After a while, I tend to forget how to do the bindings and stuff for the controls so those videos are technically my “notes.”
As for Helios, I remember a guy who said he flew with 5 touchscreens. 1 left console, 1 aux left console, 1 center console, 1 aux right console, and 1 right console. IIRC, all of these were via a networked PC so his main rig didn’t get such a big “hit.” I think I saw a pic of his setup and saw his left and right consoles and I thought to myself “such a waste of a touchscreen” since you only really work with the left/right consoles during ramp start and very, very rarely during flight. A center console and a aux left console setup would be really sweet though! I wonder….
-
You have a point about the consoles mainly for ramp start; anything needed on flight only need to be in Helios. Aux left console does sound interesting!
-
Yeah, that way I could enlarge the MISC panel and the CMDS panel, relocate the LG panel, put an actual HMCS panel…. the left Aux console is quite useful especially in emergencies!! Don’t ask me how I know…
-
I note Weepop has left and right consoles on his as click ups. Haven’t tried yet.
-
That’s the same from my profile, I think (not tried weepop’s profile in a while)

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