Weepops Helios profile

ICE
I read on one of the other posts that you updated someone’s profile by them sending it to you and you returning it in an updated state - is this something you could do for me - PLEASE ;0)
-
Hahaha!! That was a simple swapping of images… unfortunately, I cannot do anything for you unless you’re talking about 5x 1920x1080 screens. There’s no way for me to “simulate” the smaller screens you have and any work I put on those “monitors” will just be guesswork…
I’d be happy to help with any issues you encounter when upgrading your setup to my latest profile though.

I will have a go and see where I fall over !!

Hi,
no news from Weepops, too bad… have you really decided to stop your profile ? I see the files are removed, it is really really sad… Your profile is really the best for me, I really don’t understand what happened here ?
I hope you will be back soon !

Hi waichou
Got your PM and thanks for kind words.
Files made temp available for you to download again.

Hi Weepop,
thanks a lot for your files, I had a big problem in my computer, so I lost everything. I will do my previous personnal adjustments inside your new profile.
Thanks again !
-
OK five or six people took advantage and downloaded my files whilst they were available.
Would be nice to know who and weather to leave them available.
Meanwhile removed again.

Still don’t understand the whole point or logic behind this withdrawal of files. You were making them available for free before, why are you guarding them now?
-
Hi Weepop,
thanks again for your files. I have a question about YAME, you added a file for YAME, can you explain me how to use it ? I am on MFD Extractor for now, but maybe YAME is better I think.
Another point, I still have the problem when I click on the second page of the charts it doesn’t work. I have to change it manually, but maybe you have an idea to gain some time (it is verrrrrry long for me).Thanks !

Hi to all, I am returning to Falcon after a long break and to celebrate I have updated my profile for BMS 4.34 and have released it on the original Media File link in the first post.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT WHAT I HAVE DONE:-
Firstly this profile is for people who have only the desire to fly an F16 in the Korea Theatre, for other theatres or planes stick with waichou.
Personally I think the F16 and one theatre is quite enough for anyone to master and it is the name of the sim “FALCON” ( I nearly put “game” instead of “sim”)I have changed all charts to the new 4.34 versions and added a reference to their locations on the Korea map.
I have added extra buttons to all Sth Korea airports for the additional tower UHF frequencies and changed the VHF tower to ATIS.
I have created two profiles , one for earlier F16s and one for Later AIFF variants. The earlier one has updated Aux Com panel and the later one a new IFF panel and updated Ext Lighting and AVTR panels. The new IFF seems to work in that all instructions are passed correctly to the game but I am not conversant with how to use IFF yet so I would be pleased to hear from anyone testing it. I also do not know how to use the DATA CARDS in the profiles so I have not updated them to 4.34 requirements. Again I would pleased to get some help here. WARNING….I HAVE JUST NOTICED THAT WAICHOU DID NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF HIS HELIOS IMAGES FOLDER OR HIS YAME XML FILE SO THERE IS A DANGER OF OVER WRITING THEM IF YOU INSTALL MY PROFILE AND YOU ALLREADY HAVE WAICHOU
s INSTALLED.
TO AVOID I SUGGEST TEMPERORY RENAME WAICHOU`s FROM WEEPOPFULL TO WAICHOUFULL AND ALSO TO WAICHOU.XML
YOU WILL HAVE TO RESTORE THEM IF YOU DECIDE TO STICK WITH WAICHOU Best wishes and happy flying

Oh my God!! Weepop has returned.
How glad I am, buddy.
You have a great profile of Helios for Falcon and I know that many of us were waiting for your return, although without much hope, the truth.
Let’s see how your new creature adapted to Falcon 4.34 works.
Thank you very much, a hug and welcome again. -
Blackduke your kind words make me very happy. If you have any problems or requests please feel free to ask here.
My profiles are both start in flight and if anyone wants a runway or ramp version please ask and I will do my best to oblige.

I just started playing around with Helios and downloaded your Helios profile to take a look at it. If you don’t mind I have a couple of general questions?
1. Why would you need a different profile for a ground start vs an in flight start?
2. What are the reasons to use YAME? Or maybe a better question is what does the YAME/Helios combination give you that either one doesn’t?
Oh and your post #1 gives a couple of big warnings to go see a couple of posts but they are inconvenient to track down. So I am leaving the links here in case you want to update post #1. Thanks for giving to the community, I much appreciate it and I am going to have a ton of fun rummaging through your Helios drawers.

#2 Yame64 is to extract Sharedmem tex such as the MFD which helios doesn’t. Basically YAME is for getting Gauges from BMS. It has input features but limited compared to Helios

Thanks Vandal very good suggestion, I have added links to first post.
oakdesign as answered re differences between helios and YAME.
The reason for different profiles for Ramp/Runway and in flight is quite simply the starting position of the switches in the cockpit. for example I think the change to a Runway profile from a flight one would only be the position of the landing gear lever. To alter flight to ramp will involve also quite a lot of switches starting in the off position as well as the landing gear lever.
Hope this makes sense and thankyou for your amendment to my first post.

I have just noticed an error in my profile “earlier F16s” which affected the M4 CODE switch on the AUX COM panel. The problem is caused by what I believe to be a BUG in the BMS program and I have reported it. Meanwhile I have added a workaround in my profile and uploaded the corrected one to Media Fire. Anyone who as downloaded the original ie prior to 0900 on 26/02/20 should download again and replace it.
While on the subject of this particular switch (M4 CODE) I think I should point out that because in the simulator it needs to be pressed for > 2secs , in helios it could not be a “swipe” switch like all the other toggles. To allow a longer press it as been made a “touch” switch.
I am adding a note to the two images where these switches appear (earlier F16 AUX COM and later F16 IFF panels) to act as a reminder and will be uploading an amended weepopFULL zip shortly. For those who have already downloaded the original and feel they would like this aid to memory but do not want to download the zip again I will upload the new images with instructions on how to replace them.
weepopEDIT:- Done above 1000 26/02/20 those seeking new images to avoid big download see helios/new panel images folder.

Hi Weepop
Big thanks and thumbs up for your profile which I put to good use to implement the IFF panel. I see however you are using callbacks like SimIFFBackupM1Digit1_0 etc. I don’t find these callbacks in the original 4.34 full key file. Are they recognised by BMS 4.34?
Again, tnx for your work.

Hi Bikeman
thats a definate yes , see page 20 in the dash1 manual -
Hi Weepop
My bad! Isn’t it amazing how much one can learn just by reading the manuals I am running a version of Waichou’s profile on which I have made some adaptations to make it work for me. Of course I did not document the changes since I was sure I would remember them all (/irony:off). At the moment I am getting the IFF panel to work using your profile as example.
I figured out how to enter Lua scripts but I don’t know where the “trigger values” and “actions values” come from. Any idea?
Regards
Bikeman -
Hi Bikeman
are you using LUA scripting on the input to the hidden rotaries?
From what I recall the trigger value is always “Boolean Always returns true” and the Action appears automatically and is dependent on your starting point for the rotary. EG 1=0 …to …8=7 for a rotary with 8 steps starting from 0 or 1=2… to… 8=1 if it starts with a digit 2 showing.It can be a bit of a problem , I always make the rotaries visible when I am trying to get it right.
Hope this helps
best of luck weepop
