Hi Guys,
I have installed helios and yame64.
then I put WeepopFull.hpf in C:\Users\Tirta\Documents\Helios\Profiles folder
and put weepop_helios.xml into C:\YAME64\layouts
next, I extract all the content of WeepopFull.7z into C:\Users\Tirta\Documents\Helios.
Are these correct?then I open helios control center and run WeepopFull,
now I get to see some buttons on the touchscreen.next I run yame64, select relevant files and bms folder in Globals tab,
choose client>misc tab and load weepop_helios.xml,
press apply.then I start yame client and I get this msg:
“windows mask not correctly created, now run witout masking”
but I can see some instruments on the touchscreenFinally I launch BMS.
However, the extraction is not always working,
I can get it work only a few times more often I get “Bms has stopped working” Appcrash instead.
And within BMS, I find the touchscreen does not work on the buttons.Also the data in the yame > global tab are blank everytime I start yame,
even after I press apply everytime, why is that?What is wrong here?
please advise. -

Yes. Just be patient.

Yesthen I open helios control center and run WeepopFull,
now I get to see some buttons on the touchscreen.
Open Profile Editor, load up Weepop’s profile, and RESET MONITORS.
You may lose some charts and stuff, refer to post 115 on this thread to see how to fix it.
Also, open the Falcon interface and make sure that it is pointed to the correct location for the .key file.next I run yame64, select relevant files and bms folder in Globals tab,
choose client>misc tab and load weepop_helios.xml,
press apply.then I start yame client and I get this msg:
“windows mask not correctly created, now run witout masking”
but I can see some instruments on the touchscreen
Go into one of the gauges, say the left MFD, and adjust it by 1 pixel.
Start the YAME client. It should take a while as it makes a new mask.
Close the client, go back to the gauges, and reset it to the default position.
Start the YAME client again. It should make another mask, but this time it will be correct.Finally I launch BMS.
However, the extraction is not always working,
I can get it work only a few times more often I get “Bms has stopped working” Appcrash instead.
And within BMS, I find the touchscreen does not work on the buttons.
Make sure you’ve loaded the correct .key file in BMS too!!Also the data in the yame > global tab are blank everytime I start yame,
even after I press apply everytime, why is that?What is wrong here?
please advise. -
then I start yame client and I get this msg:
“windows mask not correctly created, now run witout masking”
but I can see some instruments on the touchscreenThis is probably caused by YAME not liking the size of the YAME window.
Go to client-Windows-YAME-edit and adjust size to 1920 by 1079 (presuming you are using a 1920x1080 monitor) and try again.

Hi Ice,
thanks for the reply.
I did open Weepopfull.hpf with HeliosProfileEditor.exe, then reset monitors.
before that, the buttons from helios do not match with the MFDs from Yame, now they do.I have adjusted the left MFD by 1 pixel now the error is gone.
But now I can see the windows wallpaper in the touchscreen background.I send you some screenshots:
after helios before yame
after helios and yame
When I click LEFT or RIGHT CONSOLE, it works,
but on the left, I get all red window with lots of X.
on the right, I get all black window with only one button in the middle.
what is wrong here?And when BMS is running, when I touch the buttons on the touchscreen,
I see a yellow cursor moving in the main monitor instead,
why is that? -
You’ve unpacked the images to the wrong location…. that is if you’ve unpacked the images at all!!
And when BMS is running, when I touch the buttons on the touchscreen,
I see a yellow cursor moving in the main monitor instead,That is the in-game cursor. You can turn it off with that knob on the upper right of your touchscreen, label “3D PIT MOUSE”
-
yes, that’s it: wrong folder.
I omit weepop folder and extract all the folders inside it straight to image folder.
now, after correcting it, I can see all the images.All the buttons seem to work now, except the ICP buttons still do not work.
when I touch the ICP buttons, nothing happens, except that moving yellow cursor is the main screen, even after I turn “3D PIT MOUSE” off.
and yes, I have put WeepopBMS-Full.key in the bms config folder.how do you make the ICP buttons work?

hi Weepop,
I used your helios and yame profile and it’s wonderful. So I download your ultimate profile and I used your Yame layout and I had a problem with this. When I run this, my CPU works at 75%…… only running Yame… For fix it, I edit the layout, I uncheck the mask option, and check the colour option, and works fine, but I would like to use the mask… I can’t resolve it. How I can resolve this? It’s posible that the problem are the CPU? I’m using i5 2500k oc 4.5
Thanks!

@ tirta: What do you mean ICP does not work? Even in-game? The buttons do not have much of a “press” animation, but they should work in-game. Double-check that you’ve loaded the correct .key file in Falcon by going into SETUP -> CONTROLLERS and loading the correct .key file. After that, hit APPLY a couple of times. I suspect you’ve not loaded his .key file correctly, especially if you’re still seeing the yellow mouse cursor after clicking 3D PIT MOUSE to off. When done correctly, turning the 3D PIT MOUSE off should show you a message at the left side of the screen saying “Mouse Cursor DISABLED”
@ magami: What exactly do you mean about CPU working at 75%? What is your resulting effect in BMS? Are you getting unacceptable performance loss in BMS? An i5 2500K at 4.5GHz should not have a problem with YAME.

Hi Ice,
the problem is when launch yame with weepop layout, the CPU works up than 75% , and it’s imposible to launch falcon bms because there are not sufficient computing resource. If I change the value of the mask to uncheck work fine. My question is if I had to modify any parameter in the layout.xml file?

Hi Ice,
I have put WeepopBMS-Full.key in C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U3\User\Config.
And I have pressed “APPLY” a few times inside BMS>SETUP>CONTROLLER.
Also in YAME > GLOBALS tab.After further testing, it seems all touch buttons which should have functioned in the game, all do not work.
all ICP buttons, all MFD buttons, GEAR DOWN, ILS/TCN, etc, all won’t work.But buttons in HELIOS like left, right console, charts, data, all work.
about ILS/TCN, the animation works, I can see the button turns when I touch it, but it does not affect the ILS/TCN in the game.
IF I use mouse in the main screen and turn the ILS/TCN by mouse, it works, but not in the touchscreen.before launching BMS, if I press the buttons in the touchscreen, all the button animation works, including all ICP buttons,
but after the cockpit appears after launching BMS, now it won’t work.so it seems after launching BMS, the touchscreen does not work properly.
it works again, after you are out from the cockpit.Beside calibrating, which I have already done,
is there some other touchscrenn settings in windows that I should set? -
tirta
have you directed helios to my keyfile???
Open helios in editor, in left panel go to bottom, open interfaces/falcon and check in centre that you are directing Falcon Key Callbacks to my keyfile.

thanks weepop.
yes, that is the culprit
the WeepopBMS-Full.key directory in helios does not exactly match my bms directory,
after correcting it, now all the buttons seem to work.now I have another problem:
I have tried running the ILS landing training mission,
however, when I input the ILS frequency by touching the ICP buttons:
1, 1, 0, 3 then ENTR.
when I press ENTR, I always lose the extraction,
I have tried this twice and get the same result.please let me know how to fix it.
-
also I notice when I touch the ICP buttons by touching the screen with my finger,
I do not get the same animations when I touch it by mouse.
with mouse, I can see the button get pressed,
with hand, there is nothing.the same with MFD buttons.
why is that? -

my mistake . I used same keystroke to show / hide yame window as enter keystroke from icp.
Pressing enter again should bring it back , but best to find am unused key.
Open yame/client/windows/yame/edit and change key for show / hide to suit you.Don’t know why your touch screen responds different for finger or mouse!!!

Changing the key for show / hide seems to fix the issue.
thanks weepop.Also, I miss the CRS button in the lower right of HSI,
if I make big correction, in the main screen I just rotate my middle mouse to rotate it quickly,
now how do I do it with the touchscreen? -
Use bottom left knob to change between CRS and HDG.
Use upper section of HSI dial to make 5 degree steps and lower for I degree.weepop
-
Hi weepop,
using 5 degrees step is still far too slow compared to the middle mouse.
or is there setting to make it move faster? -

Hi weepop,
I find that I can not access the other pages of your avionics and weapons checklist, only page 1 and 2.
How do I access the other pages?And what do “ALT UP” and “ALT DN” do?
