-Ice's Falcon BMS Helios Profile Updated!

You can use the 2nd monitor, sure. Not sure about the mouse though. Do give it a try and see if it works!!

Once in the pit you wont be able to get the mouse onto the second screen ā¦ sorry but I donāt think this will work ā¦ better to wait for the touch screen to arrive.

Yeah, I think they made a change a while back. In 4.32, IIRC, you could bring the mouse OUTSIDE the cockpit and ran the chance of clicking on two things ā- one where your actual mouse cursor was on the secondary monitor, and another one where your in-cockpit cursor was on the main display. I think thatās why they now have the Mouse cursor disable callbacks.

Hi Ice,
I want to try your profile too.
But I can not find the xml file for yame.
Where is it? -
My profile was made LONG before YAME came around, no now XML profileā¦. but you should be able to use Weepopās with little-to-no modification.
-
thanks Ice.
weepop.xml works.however, with your profile, I also notice the touch screen responds different with finger or mouse.
with mouse I get the button animations,
with finger, I do not.why is that?
is there another touchscreen setting in windows that I should set? -
Where do you get/not get button animations?
-
Hi Ice,
Finally I find the culprit why the buttons respond differently when I touch it by finger or by using mouse.
I have to turn off all the right click setting from Windows Control Panel > Pen and Touch.
Now the problem is solved. -
Good to know!
-
Just wanted to post here to mark the occassionā¦ I think Iāve hit the limit now with my improvements to my profile but as I suspect that the number of people here using two touchscreens can be counted on one hand, Iām now starting work on converting that to a single-touchscreen setup but still incorporating as many of my improvements as possible. Having to go through the profile to see which functions make the cut and which functions have to be removed and which functions can be modified to fitā¦ itās such a painful process.
Hopefully, Iāll be able to release both profiles soon.
-
Again just posting to mark the occassionā¦ new profile released and Iām surprised it only took two weeksā¦ sure felt much, much longer!!
-
New profile and images released for you guys to try out!
Basically, Iāve updated the charts to use the ones from 4.33. Iāve not added the Russian/China/N.Korea airbases as I donāt think thereās a need for them. The two S.Korean airstrips and Mandumi are not included as well for the same reason. If there is demand for it, I can probably add them in but itāll require a bit of a re-do in terms of button placement.
Iām a bit more excited about the change I did to the MFDs though. Iāve always found the actual OSB touch areas to be too tiny and basically applied my HSD/CRS/Altimeter trick to enlarge the OSB touch areas. Iāve also changed the rocker switches so that theyāre bigger and so hopefully, easier to use. Even though Iāve done this ātrickā on my HSD/CRS/Altimeter, credits to Toto for helping my brain make the connection between them and my OSB dilemma. So try it out guys and I look forward to hearing what you have to say about the new MFD!
I know this is an old post. However, I am wondering if the OSB buttons work on the Helios MFDs.

Why would they not? Even if they did not work back then, youād think Iād have gotten them working after 2 years (Hint: MFD OSBs along with the ICP are among the most-used buttons in the cockpit, so maybe I might know how to prioritize my work )
Iām guessing youāve not even tried the profile yet.

Hi Ice
Helios and your profile really changed the way I am flying the Falcon. One thing I could not get working is the MAL IND button. When I press it, the AVTR lights light up and a second press extinguishes them. The expected behaviour though does not appear. Any idea what could be wrong?

Small issue with that one. Seems like itāll only work correctly the first time. Try testing it in the Startup TE. Iām not quite sure why itāll work āproperlyā only once and as I rarely test the MAL IND even during startup, well, it was low on my āto fixā list.

Tnx for your fast reply. Does Helios provide some support for debugging? If so I could give it a go myself.

I love the profile, everything is greatā¦ā¦but How do I get the MFDs actual real life size, or close to it. I know itās tight fit, but can anybody send me a modified version with much bigger MFDs? Thanks
