-Ice's Falcon BMS Helios Profile Updated… Again!
-
I have printed through lulu and staples every manual and checklist in the docs folder. So I guess I have what I need there.
But soon I will get a touchscreen.

Just ordered this 24 inch planar. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0053YJZ4U/ref=ya_st_dp_summary
I should get it sometime next week. Looking forward to trying your profile. Thanks again for all your help and I will pay it forward.

Sweet! I await your “first impressions” regarding using Helios and my profile for the first time!
As soon as you need to divert or need to dial in a new tower’s freq, you’ll get a greater appreciation of the built-in charts

Do you have pictures of what all the buttons do on the warthog when I use your profile, or is it exactly the same as Mud’s profile? (Edit, just realized I got mixed up and you used Morphine’s profile.)
I like to print out the picture on the throttle and stick with what all the button and what the do, it really makes learning easier. (I,m just learning navigation, data link, and I can’t bomb anything yet, lol.) I actually had printed out a bunch of possible profiles (through Staples) like Rybos, Muds, chihirobelmos’ and etc. So if your is the same as Morpine’s, I already have it printed out and in a little book! (Yep, I’m a fanatic.)
I started messing with your profile, got the pedals working after adding a line of code that Rybo taught me to your script.
The most important issue I have is that I cannot switch from DGFT Overide to Cance to MRM Overide. When I’m in the setup screen it recongnizes those I use DX27-DX 28 on the throttle, no problem, but when I fly it does not work.
Is this just because I don’t have the touchscreen yet, or is this another issue?Second issue, is with the radar elevation. I really got used to using the coolie switch for that, up and down. It worked great, but with Morpine its on that increase-decrease wheel. I tried to switch it in game, didn’t work. Any way to do it?
Finally, the radar cursor is different, in that up goes down and down goes up. Every other profile I used was the opposite, so I’m not use to that for sure.
Oh and thanks to Morphine for your profile, it’s much appreciated. What an amazing community.
Btw the touchscreen arrived early, its here, but I do not have the targus docking station yet, its due on Wednesday. I downloaded Helios, Yame, and followed all the directions on your website to down load all those files. (Awesome website btw, very easy to understand. Way to go man.) So with that done, now its just waiting for the Targus, then I will setup the touchscreen and give everything a try.

Tomorrow I will get a 24" touch screen to use with your Helios profile. I look forward to making it work and most of all to using it.

I think the touchscreen companies owe Ice and the other guys some money! They show off those wonderful screens in their profile shots, and then we have to go out and buy those touchscreens!
Bikeman, what brand did you buy?

I really should do a layout of my TARGET profile.
The stick works as a normal F-16 stick. Paddle switch is the shift key (activates the shifted layer of the profile) but is also the NORM/EXP FOV control. Pinky short is TIR re-center, long is AP disconnect. CMS IN is slap switch. Throttle side, the switch on the left throttle controls the lights, but I don’t think I’ve updated the released .tmc file so it may be broken for you guys for now. Left throttle button is un-cage missile. Coolie hat is views and mic switch is you comms switch for now. My current .tmc profile has swapped this around for a more realistic operation. Speed brake switch is speed brake, boat switch is DGFT/MSL override (check set g_bHotasDgftSelfCancel 0), and the china hat is your zoom (TGP). The gray INCR lever on the base controls radar scan elevation… most of the other throttle base switches I’ve de-activated. The FLAPs switch controls LG lever but I only really use it when I can’t be bothered to use my Helios switch.
I’ll be releasing an updated TARGET profile and I’ll include a layout guide with it.
Pedals don’t need to be added onto the script, they’re mapped straight onto the rudder controls via the in-game UI setup.
Issues:
DGFT - see above
Radar Elev - see above… also fixed in my next TARGET profile, thanks to Rybo’s inspiration
Radar cursor - check hereGood luck with the new touchscreen!
-
That is perfect man! Thanks a bunch!!!:D
As for the pedals, iirc they were not an option to select in the advanced set up until I added that line of code.
-
They should be. Remove the lines you added on the TARGET profile and check again. What pedals are you using?
-
I will mess with it later. I’m using the Thrustmaster TFRP pedals.
Do I search for that line of code (set g_bHotasDgftSelfCancel 0) in falcon bms.cfg in \Falcon BMS\User\Config? Or does that go in your target script?
-
Falcon bms.cfg file for the HotasDgft bit.

A iiama T2435MSC touch screen. Ice’s profile looks fantastic. I can’t get it to send keystrokes to BMS yet but given time I will figure that one out too.

make sure Helios is pointing at BMS …
-
load your profile into the Helios editor and then go to the FALCON tab and check it reads BMS (version)

Follow Step 1 and Step 2 in this guide please!

So far so good. All that remains to do is aligning my Cougar Hotas keystrokes with your profile. The cockpit on my 24" monitor looks awesome.

I did my first ramp start and flight with Helios and your profile. Some settings are a bit bumpy but what the heck. This is a whole new BMS experience. Great job, Ice. THANK YOU.

I’d love to hear which settings are “bumpy” and what exactly do you mean by “bumpy”? Thanks!

There are several switches not working yet. I.e. FCR on/off, MDF on/off, CMDS Mode Semi, Ext Fuel Transfer Norm/Wing First, all buttons on the Threat Warning Prime. Furthermore I am having Problems with the rotary knobs. Mostly they turn to far (i.e. two or three positions instead of only one). Then I cannot find the compass nor the gear handle.
Any ideas? Help on the rotary knobs will be greatly appreciated.
Despite These points: great job - tnx.

Bikeman
