@Falcon316 said in Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.35 U3:
I am trying to alter this profile for 4.36, but am experiencing a problem:
In HELIOS I cannot bind following Key Bindings.
- SimExtlMasterOff
- SimExtlMasterCovertAll
- itemSimExtlCovertAC
- SimExtlCovertForm
The only one I see is SimExtlMasterNorm
PS. All these binding are bound to a key in my keyfile and are visible in Falcon BMS 4.36.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Look at those callbacks in notepad. If the third section is anything but a 0 Helios will ignore the callback.
SimExtlMasterInc 116 2 0xC8 3 0 0 1 “EXT: MASTER Knob - Step Up”
SimExtlMasterDec 116 3 0xCD 3 0 0 1 “EXT: MASTER Knob - Step Down”These two callbacks have a 2 & 3 in the third section. They will be ignored by Helios. If this is the case for your callbacks just change the third section of each callback to a 0 “zero”. Then reload the profile in Helios Profile Editor.

That solved my problem.
Thank You Sir!

I’m making my way through the first tutorial TE and I’m having an issue with the canopy close switch. Flick it downwards and the canopy goes down by about 1 inch maybe. I have to activate the switch many times for it to even move a significant amount. Using the key bind for the callback is no problem, pressing and holding the keys is equivalent to holding down the switch, releasing the keys returns the switch to the middle position and stops the canopy movement. Using the Helios switch to open the canopy works as intended though.
Can anyone confirm this is an issue for the canopy close switch? Thanks!

Hi all,
Just wanted to post these things in case they are helpful to anyone.
There is an updated Helios profile with the new Ext Lighting panel implemented as its own panel. I also reworked the key file by starting with the BMS PitBuilder profile and then tweaking some things as needed for the Helios profile. This was mainly for my sanity in adding the new callbacks. Finally there is a python script that will verify that the profile’s BMS key file has all the necessary bindings in it. Enjoy.
The panel image was cropped from the combined panel image that zeek provided earlier.

Is anyone using the 2-touchscreen monitor version of -Ice’s profile?
-
@Atlas I tried but failed and gave up. My set up was 2x Ipad 2 mini for the MFDs and 1x (shonky) Android for the ICP.
They all work until I go into 3D.
-
@CriticalMass It may be too difficult to update that old profile but can we modify the new profile to a 2-screen version again?

I’ve put key binds to the following callbacks:
SimExtlMasterOff 115 0 0x14 5 0 0 1 "EXT: MASTER Switch/Knob - OFF" SimExtlMasterCovertAll 116 5 0x4C 3 0 0 1 "EXT: MASTER Knob - ALL" SimExtlMasterCovertAC 116 6 0x4C 5 0 0 1 "EXT: MASTER Knob - A-C" SimExtlMasterCovertForm 116 0 0x13 4 0 0 1 "EXT: MASTER Knob - FORM" SimExtlMasterNorm 115 0 0x14 3 0 0 1 "EXT: MASTER Switch/Knob - NORM"
Initially, these were the original key binds:
SimExtlMasterCovertAll 116 5 0x14 6 0 0 1 "EXT: MASTER Knob - ALL" SimExtlMasterCovertAC 116 6 0x14 7 0 0 1 "EXT: MASTER Knob - A-C"
In either case, Helios does not show CovertAll and CovertAC callbacks. Can someone please confirm if they get the same issue? Thanks!

@linknet Ah, I see the error now, thank you!

Hi! I am trying to use the CPD profile and it works fine when on 2D, but entering in 3D the buttons doesnt work. The displays update with the current info from game, but for some reason only the buttons are not working.
On the same profile I have a 2nd monitor with my MFDs and they work prefectly. Does anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks!
-
I just figured out and fixed the problem above.
If anyone have the same issue, just set set g_bEnableExclusiveMouseCapture 0 in the config file.
Thanks and awesome work!
-
How can i change the CPD buttons on HELIOS?
Or to use my joysticks buttons?
How can I edit them? -
Nice

@linknet sigh… typical… just as I was about to finish my profile… Well, I guess I needed more Helios practice anyway! Thanks for the update!

Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated to 4.36-01
Updated 31 May 2022:
The first post has been updated with the latest version.
Please note the requirement for BMS Falcon 4.36 and Helios Version 1.6.5200.1 or later.
Thank you Linknet!
One piddley thing to correct to avoid confusion, the download link still says -Download Combined Full and CPD Only Versions
Download from here for the latest version 4.35-12, but the link is good to the 4.36 version. -
@Icer OK Thanks, now corrected.
-
Thanks for the update.
Would the 4.35 profile still work after updating to 4.36? -

Thanks for the update.
Would the 4.35 profile still work after updating to 4.36?Replace the Bin folder with the new 4.36-01 Bin folder and I think most of it should still work except for the canopy switch, the external lighting panel, the radio comms panel and the charts which will be out of date.
