Helios Setup for BMS and Lilliput Touchscreen
-
I have two Lilliput 8"inch screens that I use to run MFD’s in DCS A-10C. I understand how to setup Helios Profiles. What I need are instructions on how to setup the BMS side of the equation. Has anyone done this and what is the process to extract the screens to my two Lilliputs. Thanks for the advise. Hopefully these instructions will be useful to others as well.

What are you extracting exactly? If it’s MFDs, you have the option of the built-in extractor (located in the Launcher) or via MFDE.
For the built-in extractor, you will need to calculate the coordinates of where you would like the MFDs to show up. In MFDE, you just drag the MFDs to the appropriate spot on the secondary screens.

I have my own profile: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23169-Ice-s-Falcon-BMS-Helios-Profile-Updated!
I’m not sure about MFDE being better than the built-in extractors; I’m pretty sure you’ll find people recommending one over the other. I had my opinions about these things in 4.32 but I will have to re-test things and see for myself in 4.33 because MFDE has been updated as well.

ok thanks for the info. On a side note, I used your profile and clipped out the MFD’s, built a helios profile just for them, used the in game extractor and it worked great with the lilliputs. Thanks much.
