-Ice's Falcon BMS Helios Profile Updated!
-
Good to know!
-
Just wanted to post here to mark the occassion… I think I’ve hit the limit now with my improvements to my profile but as I suspect that the number of people here using two touchscreens can be counted on one hand, I’m now starting work on converting that to a single-touchscreen setup but still incorporating as many of my improvements as possible. Having to go through the profile to see which functions make the cut and which functions have to be removed and which functions can be modified to fit… it’s such a painful process.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to release both profiles soon.

Again just posting to mark the occassion… new profile released and I’m surprised it only took two weeks… sure felt much, much longer!!

New profile and images released for you guys to try out!
Basically, I’ve updated the charts to use the ones from 4.33. I’ve not added the Russian/China/N.Korea airbases as I don’t think there’s a need for them. The two S.Korean airstrips and Mandumi are not included as well for the same reason. If there is demand for it, I can probably add them in but it’ll require a bit of a re-do in terms of button placement.
I’m a bit more excited about the change I did to the MFDs though. I’ve always found the actual OSB touch areas to be too tiny and basically applied my HSD/CRS/Altimeter trick to enlarge the OSB touch areas. I’ve also changed the rocker switches so that they’re bigger and so hopefully, easier to use. Even though I’ve done this “trick” on my HSD/CRS/Altimeter, credits to Toto for helping my brain make the connection between them and my OSB dilemma. So try it out guys and I look forward to hearing what you have to say about the new MFD!
I know this is an old post. However, I am wondering if the OSB buttons work on the Helios MFDs.

Why would they not? Even if they did not work back then, you’d think I’d have gotten them working after 2 years (Hint: MFD OSBs along with the ICP are among the most-used buttons in the cockpit, so maybe I might know how to prioritize my work )
I’m guessing you’ve not even tried the profile yet.

Hi Ice
Helios and your profile really changed the way I am flying the Falcon. One thing I could not get working is the MAL IND button. When I press it, the AVTR lights light up and a second press extinguishes them. The expected behaviour though does not appear. Any idea what could be wrong?

Small issue with that one. Seems like it’ll only work correctly the first time. Try testing it in the Startup TE. I’m not quite sure why it’ll work “properly” only once and as I rarely test the MAL IND even during startup, well, it was low on my “to fix” list.

Tnx for your fast reply. Does Helios provide some support for debugging? If so I could give it a go myself.

I love the profile, everything is great……but How do I get the MFDs actual real life size, or close to it. I know it’s tight fit, but can anybody send me a modified version with much bigger MFDs? Thanks
