Some help with helios issues please
-
Hi, hoping someone can help…… I have had no luck on the DCS forums. ( asked there first as I am starting out using it with a DCS F-18 profile)
I recently got a new touchscreen monitor to display some of the switches etc in DCS and Falcon. My issue is that Helios wont seem to let me reset my monitors in the profile editor to match the configuration I have in windows.
In windows, main monitor is number one, touchscreen 2 and 2ndary number three. Helios profile editor shows 2 & 3 reversed. I can swap 2 for 3 in the reset options and vice versa, , press OK and nothing changes…
Any ideas what is going wrong or why?
Thank you!

I have the Helios F/A-18C setup for DCS. I seriously struggled figuring it all out on my own. Capt Zeen has recently released a few video tutorials on setting this up, and they got me about 80% of the way there. The thing that finally pulled it all together for me was joining the Capt Zeen Discord channel. With their help, and a long afternoon of work, I’m up and running. I had the same issue with my monitors, one of which is a touchscreen - understand that it is workable and once you make some adjustments to LUA files, it will all work for you. It’s well worth the effort. Go to Zeen’s website and join his Discord channel from there.

Hi porkchopper, that sounds promising…. do you remember what the solution was? Never used discord…is it like teamspeak?
You know, trying to get all this stuff working is an exercise in frustration for me…I swear, I spend waaaaay more time trying to get hardware working than I ever do flying in a sim…And you can guarantee, that if there is some weird esoteric problem out there that only .5% of people ever experience…I will have it…I dont think I have ever been able to get something set up and working properly out of the box…sometimes I never do…

Hi, OK, I have posted a message on Capt Zeens channel, but had no reply yet…still not sure how it (discord) works either…Is it real time chat, that you can also speak in?
