I went back and followed the directions again and the same thing, most buttons and switches move but have no impact on the sim.
I uninstall everything and will reinstall BMS 4.35 U1, helios and the profile and try that.
Thanks

I updated to 4.35 U1. Then updated Ice’s profile to his 4.35-3.
Followed the instructions everything looks great. What is in the sim shows up on the helios profile on my second screen.
However the majority of switches and knobs in helios do not work. For example if I turn the knob for cockpit lighting the know in the sim doesn’t move nor does the lighting come on.
Yet all the MFD buttons work in helios.
This was working fine before U1. I had to turn mouse exclusivity off in the config file to get the cursor to move to the second screen.
I’m using the alternate launcher and a Saitek x52.
I’ll also post this on discord.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Well I wasted a week of my life for a stupid mistake.
I went back and reinstalled everything……including the step I missed. I didn’t load the correct key file.
Worked like a champ.
Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for your help.

Yes I have the correct monitor positions. The second monitor is physically on the right and is correct when I check display settings.
When I set exclusive use to 0 in BMS cfg file I get 2 cursors, one on each screen. They are synced to each other. If I move one the other follows exactly along. If I use the cursor on the helios panel and click a button, where ever the cursor is in BMS is what gets clicked, usually outside the cockpit. If I then change the setting in the cfg file for mouse button 4 and click button 4 the BMS cursor disappears but as soon as I touch the trackball it comes back.
I know this is confusing.
Thanks

I’m using Helios with Ices falcon profile 4.35. The screen with the cockpit shows up and the gauges reflect the sim values.
the problem is when I try to move the mouse to the new screen the mouse won’t go past the right edge of monitor 1.
I have tried with a 2nd monitor hooked to the computer, a monitor connected by the network and with space desk. Tried many, many, many times.
I tried changing the values in falcon bms config for mouse exclusivity and the button 4 disconnect mouse. I even tried a program called mouseunsnag. Nothing works
everything works fine in dcs.
I update the helios profile every time I change monitor setup.
any help would be appreciated

I did as you suggested.
I get a mouse cursor on screen 2 that is in sync with the cursor on screen one and they move together.
However when you move the cursor over anything in the helios screen 2 and click the action is centered on screen 1. So i I higlight the landing gear in screen 2 and click, whatever is under the cursor in screen 1 is what is selected. If that makes sense.
For the output of screen 2 it says 1920x1080 and 3840x . Should there be two resolution?
In DCS I have to shift resolution to the 3840 as stated in the profiles.
Thanks

This is great. I’m a first time user to Helios and a beginner in Falcon. The install was a piece of cake. Everything worked and loaded first time!!
My issue is I don’t have a touch screen. So when I try and move my mouse over to the right it won’t go.
Is there a way in Helios to make screen 2 non-touchscreen?

Great looking program for a man my age with my vision.
I installed the latest version on the same drive as Falcon BMS 4.35 into folder E:\Program Files\YAME64. When I run the program the Global tab is blank and all the buttons on the bottom are greyed out. So it looks like the program can’t find Falcon and I can’t point it toward it.
Thanks,
Doug
I’ve tried for two days to program my X52. I finally figured out that when I program it using the Logitech software then Falcon does not recognize the alt, shift or control key commands programed. It is driving me crazy. Can’t figure out if the software program is bad or my joystick.
The x52 works great in programs were I can setup the joystick inside the program like DCS or IL2.
