Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.36
-
Hi Linknet, I’m using 1.36-04 and the newest Helios and I have a see through DED and both MFDs displaying enlarged HUD image. I tried to included a photo here but so far not successful. And taking into account of the frequent updates of Helios I’ll keep testing.

@jacqueslees Latest Helios version 1.6.5306.4 has a fix in it to resolve some issues with switching planes without stopping and starting BMS nor Helios. I tested this and worked as designed. If its still occurring for you just go back to 1.6.5305 version and you should be ok as that was the only change for Falcon in 1.6.5306.4
-
@Todd1215 Yes and here is the thing, I’m using already 5306.4 and I don’t know for sure that it means this version already had the fix or I need to run a fix specifically for this version? Thx for the quick response !!
-
@jacqueslees The fix was for a bug in prior releases of Helios where switching planes without restarting BMS or Helios profile resulted in an incorrect representation of what the extraction area in shared memory is for each BMS window extraction ie: MFDs DED, PFL, etc …
That’s the fix that is in Helios 1.6.5306.4. If you have a see through DED and MFDs is pretty odd. The only Helios Falcon texture extraction that has that capability is the HUD and is off by default. The default Linknet Ice profile doesn’t have a HUD texture anywhere. Did you add it yourself?
If you can please open an issue in the Helios GitHub page or if you can’t do that then use imgur and add a screenshot and share the link to it I’d like to see what your screen looks like so I can get a better understanding of what is going on. Also if you upgraded (which shouldn’t be an issue) maybe try uninstall Helios and reinstall the latest version.

There u go, as I refresh a little bit it always happens on the ILS approach after charts and comm switches and calls.
-
@jacqueslees ok thanks for that. I am going to test this scenario and get back to you. I think I know what the issue is and if I am right you will have to go back to the previous Helios version 1.6.5305.3
Helios 1.6.5305.3 -
@Todd1215 I was able to verify your use case and will open a bug for Helios. Oddly I hit this bug with the ILS training missing but not the Navigation Training mission.
You can revert back to previous version for now or if you wish to stay on this version just switch to using RTT instead.
I will continue to test and figure out what and why this is happening.

@Todd1215 Thank you very much Todd! I was teaching my son to play around with the jet a bit so we were in the first Ground Ops scenario, I put him on the runway and he took off and used the autopilot to STPT 5 then halfway turned to 7 and proceeded to land, we could see the problem almost always on final, after comm calls.
-
@jacqueslees That seemed to be my experience as well. Something strange is going on behind the scenes in shared memory during that period of transitioning to landing.
