-
Does anyone have suggestions for a Helios profile that works with BMS4.35 U3?

@spotdott said in Helios Profile For 4.35 U3?:
@oakdesign yes that is true. I followed Ice’s directions for installing his profile and is using his keyfile.
so if someone was following the second method of setting up the keyfile from the Ice profile setup documentation
- If using Alternative Launcher and/or needing to change keyfile bindings:
a) Copy the “BMS - Ice’s Helios Profile.key” from the “Setup \FalconBMS Keyfile” folder to
the “Falcon BMS\User\Config” folder.
b) Add your HOTAS bindings to the end of this keyfile and rename it to “BMS - Full.Key”
after renaming the existing “BMS - Full.Key” to “BMS - Full - Backup.Key” or something
similar.
c) Now point both the Helios profile and BMS to the “BMS - Full.Key” file in the “Falcon
BMS\User\Config” folder
They will be ending up with a now working profile as the BMS -Full.key file got completely replaced with U3 so they would have to redo the keyfile setup
- If using Alternative Launcher and/or needing to change keyfile bindings:
-
@mosquitoe as I stated already in your other thread. The Icer profile works with U3 you just might have to resetup the key file.
-
The incremental update did not overwrite Ice’s Helios keyfile, I didn’t do anything except going into BMS config file and re-enable RTT extraction (which is not really needed for Helios to work, only if you want the MFD s to be displayed over the Helios screen). Hope this helps. Search for Ice’s BMS 4.35.1 Helios profile to download it if you don’t have it.

It depends how you have setup the profile and which key file you have loaded in BMS. If you have loaded the BMS -Full.key file in BMS that has get overwritten and might be out of sync with the key file referenced in the Helios profile

@oakdesign oh I skipped that part b/c am not using alternative launcher.
-
The Ice Profile 4.35-10 works fine with U3.
Some areas don’t work with the latest Helios 1.6.5013, there’s a bug in it - the next Helios version will fix that.

No MFD; DED what am I doing wrong
-
sorry
who can read has a clear advantage
- Set g_bExportRTTTextures 1 in Falcon_BMS.cfg file found in \User\Config\
