-Ice's Falcon BMS Helios Profile Updated… Again!
-
with the combination of WDP and Yame 64, together with ICE’s profiles, your Helios cockpit looks just like page 33 of the Yame manual. This is really cool.
Don’t understand, our manual at p33 just shows the moving map of YAME itself, nothing to do with WDP or Helios or -Ice’s profile?

ICE
If I start a game when the jet is hot, I assume that the game switches and the Helios switches may not be in sych. Is the only way to handle this is to have a second Helios profile where some of the switches have their default position “on”?correct - or do a ramp every time ;0)

You are correct. YAME, target, WDP and Helios are all separate programs. However, ICE has spent hours putting together all 4 products into one coherent package for us flyers. If you are just looking for Yame, then there is a seperate forum thread just on Yame that you can direct questions to. Generally, here we discuss the integration of these programs. Yame can run the map without WDP. I can probalby still walk you through the use of Yame without the complete package so let me know. -

I was just clarifying for others as your description could be read dubious. WDP or Helios is not necessary to get the map like shown on the YAME manual p33, that’s all -

I’m not sure what he means by p.33…… those are just gauges. Does he mean p.3?

Hehehehe… just kidding. sobe, Focal’s the guy who helps out making YAME and he’s the one writing the manual…

OOOPS.
Sorry about that. I was just trying to help. My next project is an attempt to partially solve the washed-out HUD problem by using the HUD repeater in YAME. I am going to try to figure out how to put a button on ICE’s Helios profile so that when I press the button, the Yame Hud repeater replaces the ICP and vice versa. I don’t know if I have the skill to do so, but will try. -

FYI, In the next release of YAME there will also be a clickable ICP.
In the current release you already have the ability to make something helpful, I think…
A yame window with transparant background and the use of the window toggle on/off key.
You could add a new window with only the HUD in it and use “masked” option to have the transparant background. Then overlay/position the window over the Helios ICP location. Each YAME window can be set with a key or key combination to toggle (show/hide) the window. So Helios could have a region linked to that specific shortcut and so the YAME window with HUD would appear/disappear on top of the Helios ICP -

I want to change the default state on some of your toggle switches. In other Helios profiles, I can into individual switches in the Helios control panel, but for some reason, on your latest BMS profile, I cannot get to such toggles as the air source knob or Eng Feed knob. Why? -

What’s wrong with the HUD?? Unfortunately, this project will take a lot of work on your end. Helios essentially displays itself OVER everything else so for you to see the HUD repeater in YAME, you’ll have to do what I did for the CPD –- basically make a cut-out and then get that section of Helios to appear/disappear in tandem with showing/hiding the HUD.
As for the switches or anything for that matter, I’ve “locked down” everything on my profile, mainly to prevent things from accidentally being changed or moved. This is easily remedied by clicking the padlock icon next to the switch/button/panel you want to edit. Good luck!!

Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as this, as mentioned above.

ICE and Focaldesign
Before I saw ICE’s post above, I tried to get the HUD to show/hide in Yame without loading Helios. After several attempts, I got it to work and assigned the shift, control, alt + z key combo to show/hide. All worked well until I tried to also use Helios and fell into the trap that Ice mentioned above. Unfortunately, this project may be over my head to do. -
Still wondering WHY you need something like this in the first place?
-
Because many times the green lettering/numbers on the Hud are washed out and are hard to see. I have searched the forums and there does not seem to be a method to change the hud color although I thought there used to be a way to do so. To bad I cannot get the Hud repeater to appear on a MFD like some other planes.

ICE and Focaldesign
Success at last. This is probably most useless piece of sh-t ever prepared by anyone, but at least I was able to do it. I was looking at the wrong device to show the HUD. Rather than the ICP, I chose the Left MFD and it worked. So know with YAME, if I want a HUD view because I cannot read the HUD, I just press my key combo and the HUD appears on the left MFD, hit the key combo again, and the regular MFD reappears. Best of all, it works with Helios as there already exits a cutout for Helios. Its a good thing that I am retired and have nothing else to do with my time. -

I see. If you look at the lower right of the ICP, there’s a button there called HUD CLR. Press that. It cycles you between green and white colors on the HUD. If you want to try out a different color, there’s also a “hidden button.” The lower right screw on the ICP is a hidden button that changes the HUD color. I hope that’s a better solution to your issue rather than losing an MFD to this problem.

I’ve now updated the first page of the blog to reflect the new TARGET profile I’ve uploaded. Please read about it here!
Credit goes to Scotters for bringing Rybo’s profile to my attention and also credit to Rybo for the inspiration for the change.

That was the trick. How you did it is beyond me but that takes car of the issue.

The “cycle” button is just multiple key presses mapped to that one button

Ice you need to see the latest manual from YAME docs folder!!

LOL… I had a shortcut on the desktop… only realized it was linked to the v1.0 manual, not the v1.1 manual. Duh!!
