Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.37
-
Just installed Ice’s profile, It has come a really long way it is fantastic! I have spent many dozens of hours on my profile which is based on an early version on Ice’s profile and it doesn’t come close. Thank You!

Found the culprit — some issue maybe with high framerates??
I turned on vsync and that fixed all the issues. Tried with triple buffering on and off and didn’t seem to make a difference, so vsync was the key. Stable 120fps all throughout my 3 cycles of climb/dive and Helios was smooth like butter, so smooth I could cry!!
Helios Gauge Lag Delay Fix.
Vsync enabled indeed fixed my lagging gauge display problem.
Posting to make it easier to find in search. -

I updated Helios to version: 1.6.6030.1.
Although everything is working fine, the Ice’s Falcon BMS profile is now giving some remarks / errors?Should I worry about these messages?
Thank You!
-
I get those but as long as it runs fine then just ignore them.
-
@linknet Just to keep You updated.
After several tests, the new Helios version finaly gaves me a lot of problems; so I decided to revert to Helios.1.6.6020.0.Problem solved!
Regards

The latest Helios version 1.6.6030.1 is throwing an exception to the apostrophe in the profile name. So until this is fixed just rename the profile without the apostrophe.
The problem has been fixed for the next version of Helios.

@linknet - I’m getting this pop-up when I start the latest new profile. (AutoIt Error?)
I’m on the newest Helios and everything seems to work OK, but this
shows up when I start the profile in Control Center, then again when BMS starts up.
Any ideas of what might be wrong? -
@Dan
Once the AutoIt source files are compiled the line numbers become meaningless, so no clue there.The C:\Bin folder contents haven’t changed for this version and in fact have been the same for several previous versions. So if everything was working before this update then possibly one of the files is corrupt or, more likely, still blocked by windows.
First try running the UnblockFiles utility in the C:\Bin folder which will probably solve the issue. If this doesn’t fix it then download the profile again and completely delete and replace the C:\Bin folder together with running the UnblockFiles utility.

@linknet thank You for the update!

@linknet The day I feared has arrived
I use a modified version of your profile to just display the ICP, DED and RWR to be displayed onto a 10" tablet. I would post it here but I’m not one for stepping on other people’s fine work (but here’s a screenshot).
That being said, is there a way I can massage my profile to pick up the new stuff or is it a redo with your new profile updates?
-
@CriticalMass why do you have the RTT “X” displayed AND the MFD readout? I get the “X” only when no MFD is being displayed, like during testing for placement… I use a modified profile also, don’t believe it is effected by the update…
-
@CriticalMass
The only item in there that has changed is the TWP panel. I think that it is self contained and there are no other references within the profile so you should be able to copy and paste it into your profile. Select it as below and then copy and paste and then resize. -
@Icer Oh, no idea. I did have the RTT Client enabled as I had the “hidden” in the profile (it was giving me errors so I disabled it and removed the offending elements completely) and rendered by the BMS RTTRemote tool.
-
@linknet So I can copy across profiles? Is that two instances of the profile editor?

Absolutely! That’s how I “make” mine. One window with my new profile, one window with the stuff I steal and copy/paste over…

@Icer TIL

Just be sure everything is unlocked/showing (IIRC). It’s amazingly fast and easy. The MFDs I use RTT in Helios (get a stutter/delay with pure Helios MFDS)…
