Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.37
-
Dear oakdesign,
What you said was the correct answer.
The ice profile worked fine.
Thank you for your advice.
I forget the basics.I have to study more! -
Not sure how I’m f-ing this up, but when I began using “Version 7” I was able to view my steerpoints on the CPD’s map. Now for some reason I just see the bullseye. Perhaps someone can point me to where I’m screwing this up…
1. Open campaign Save Day in WDP
2. When “Did you save Precision STPT in DTC…” pop-up message appears I select [NO]. (Not sure if this makes any differnece).
3. I go to the Map tab and zoom out. (I also select “Show other flights in Package” if there are any. Not sure if this makes a difference either).
4. Save the Map to C:\Bin\Map.
5. Save DataCard
6. Select [Upd Kneeboard]
7. Close WDPIn Game (w/Helios running)…
1. In the Briefing select [PRINT]
2. Save the DTC.
3. Enter the game…
4. Select CPD…And I have no route…
Any thoughts of what I’m doing wrong??

Firstly, version 7 doesn’t use the WPD map and so doesn’t have a C:\Bin\Map folder so something wrong there.
Finally, step 5. should be reset the profile.

Linknet hit it, there is no MAP folder in the 4.35 versions of Ice’s profile
My procedure :
1. Start 4.35.1, Campaign, Saved Day (or NEW), Commit, stop clock.
2. Choose mission and join as pilot
3. Set up loadout, adjust steerpoints
4. Save Campaign Day/time
5. Open Data Cartridge, Save, Load (load may not be necessary unless you change something)
6. Open Briefing, PRINT (be sure BMS is set to print to file (default)
7. Start Helios and run the profile for 4.35. Your Briefing should show up correctly under the CPD/PLAN tab
8. Start WDP, select the mission, update the kneeboards, and go fly the missionRinse and repeat for each new mission. IF you are running 4.34.4 I believe you need to continue using that old Ice profile if you want the moving map and manually put the correct map in the way you were doing it. For 4.35.1 I would say your best bet is to save your profiles, wipe out the C:\Bin folder and the Helios folders under My Documents and install the latest Ice’s profile and folders. 4.35 Ice profiles load the maps automatically…
This is the latest Helios file structure on my PC-

It’s not a BMS 4.35 or 4.34 thing. It depends on the version of the ICE profile used. The auto map feature has been included with one of the updates. I personally still use a version where I put my own map image into the map folder as I’m putting waypoints not only from my own flight put those from other flights in the package as well as additional information with VMT onto the map

Well, it is and it isn’t, depending on which Ice’s profile you use. If you use the “Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile 4.35-(3-7) Updated for BMS 4.35 U1” profiles you get no map or data passed over in 4.34.4, but the gauges work fine (unless i’m missing something). I actually liked the earlier (is this still out there somewhere?) version with the c:\Bin\Map folder and manual map switching better in many ways because I could at least get the moving map in both versions with it. Writing is on the wall for 4.35.x and I figured may as well move forward and just forgo the moving map for 4.34 as it can’t be long before the CTDs are fixed and i’m 100% invested in 4.35.

Ok, I may see where I went wrong. I simply took “version 7’s” folders and put them into my “version 5” install, and missed any mention no more Map folder. :oops:

So from what I understand from Icer & Oakdesign’s comments, the option to show the steerpoints on the CPD map was removed with “Version 7”?? Or is this not correct and I’m missing the point??

Oakdesign shot right over my head with that one, I have 0 idea on how to add more steerpoints to the map for other flights… Your flights steerpoints are automatically generated on the CPD map with (I think?) ALL of the Ice’s 4.35-x versions. You just need to run the sequence of saving/loading/printing before you start the profile or you need to reset Helios if it’s already running when you did your work in the sim…

From version 4.35-3 onwards:
Steerpoints, Course Lines, Pre-Planned Threats, User Designated Targets and User Drawn Lines are now extracted from Callsign.ini and are available to be displayed on the CPD maps.
The option to use a map saved from WDP is now no longer considered necessary and this has been removed. -

Hi all. I just love Ice’s profile and couldn’t do without it. One weird problem though which exists since all(?) or most(?) versions. Every once in a while when touching a knob or switch in Helios BMS initiates an seat ejection. From one second to the next I find myself under canopy. Even stranger is that this happens even though I have disabled the SimEject callback. Any ideas anyone? All help is greatly appreciated.

every touch input you make creates a ghost mouse click in pit if mouse input is not turned off. so if you click on the touchscreen but your mouse cursor is currently snaped to the ejection handle in pit you eject.
I highly recommend to use the turn mouse off by using the button in the profile and only turn it on if you really want to interact with the mouse in 3d pit
which toggles between OTWMouseButtonsIn3dEnabled and OTWMouseButtonsIn3dDisabled. -
Hi Oakdesign, tnx for your answer. I‘ll give it a try.

I am using SpaceDesk in order to replicate monitors. Actually I have 4 tablets upon SpaceDesk: two for MFDs and two for Lateral Consoles. A fifth monitor is wired connected to my mother board just for a MAP (no touchscreen).
I notice some lag in the MFD textures but I don’t use them as primary, I just have MFD texture to reference the OBS’s. I try to use the cockpit itself as reference, if possible.so…
I wonder if the quantity of monitor would, in some way, decrease substantially the Desktop performance or the connection quality in a MP section…. (or both).

MP is not influenced by the ammount of monitors that mainly you networl bandwith and ping times.
With Spacedesk over wifi you might encounter some lag if run over wifi. The alternative wich is basically without lag is DuetDisplay with USB wired but that only allows for one tablet as additional monitor. You might increase the performance of Spacedesk connected devices if you don’t run them over Wifi but USB thethered.
Below is is comparison of Ingame, Helios on a HDMI touchscreen and Ipad over Duet Display

If you have windows 10 and a supported wifi adapter there is a hotspot option you can enable and connect your mobile devices directly to windows 10 wifi adapter.
You can improve the latency by at least 200% and it’s nearly as good as tethered connection.
Also I set the option for 60fps in space desk.

Thanks. I Will try both ways. :lever:

Hi gr_chris_pilot, Your solution seems good to me, but I quite don’t figure out how to do it. I have an USB WIFI adapter available here. I understand that the process is:
1 - connect the Wifi USB adapter to the Desktop
2 - create a hotspot within windows 10 ( This is where I am a little lost here, mobile hotspot option perhaps?)
3 - connect the tablets wifi to this hotspot and NOT to my home wifi.
4 - Run Helios ControlIs that correct?
Cheers :yo:

This is exactly what I do!
The pc is gonna share its antenna in order to provide internet to the tablet as well. This is not gonna affect your pc internet speed.
It’s faster that way because there is no router relay lag in between.For me it works really nice!

Thanks, I will try that :yo:
