Using touchscreen laptop for Helios
-
Hi,
Can I use Helios on a touchscreen equipped laptop to control Falcon on my desktop?
Seems like that setup is supported by DCS but unsure if it works for BMS.Or any other way I can have MFDs and ICP on the laptop?

Helios was built for touch input, laptops, standalone screens, tablets (via a screen sharing app)…it all works.

Do I need to have BMS installed on the laptop? Getting errors about callsign not being set and that the RTT export parameters in BMS Config is not set.
Any guides on setting it up this way? Or am I out of luck here?
Can I get it to work with a clean (non BMS laptop) connecting to a desktop running BMS? Is it enough to add the registry keys for falcon and fake some data or is there another way?

Can add that I got the falcon-bms-control working on the laptop, but Helios looks a lot nicer.

@nosse Checkout the Helios Falcon Plugin youtube videos. Maybe they’ll help you setup your Helios.
