Lala, no interaction occurs between YAME and Helios. And Helios goes berserk whether it's running alone or with other programs. So that's been eliminated from the possible factors.

sobe, so the Leavu is just to extract RWR and HSD? Does it do anything more?

Thanks for your kind words regarding my profile. It does indeed work on 4.33.2, but I would suggest trying out Weepop's profile as well. He's taken my work and improved on it a bit. My current work is adapting my profile to my new setup (2 touchscreens) so I may not "improve" my single touchscreen setup for a while. I've basically taken the year off from flying and Weepop has made improvements to the base profile in that time.

Here's a little preview of the new one:

Yeah, Ice my mistake, I knew there was no connection between the two overlays (Helios and YAME64)

If you can point me to the script that does the synch on the LG I will take a look.

Select the LG, then go to BINDINGS > INPUT > BINDINGS and you should see the script for it.

OK you are referring to

Snippet, of the Input> Interfaces> Falcon> Landing Gear> Gear Handle> Indicator Change> Set Gear Indicator

if(TriggerValue) then
return 1;
else
return 2;
end

So you want DCS to update Helios autopilot switches, when you change their values, correct?

Thank you La La for steering me to this thread. The problem is, I can not find the keybindings for the "Helios Control Center" RESET button. If I knew what it was , then I could just implement that onto one of my spare hidden buttons in my profile, Since I cant seem to open up the "Helios Control Center" in the Profile Editor, I cant find out what the keybindings are? I read through the initial posts, but I certainly cant seem to open up the "Helios Control Center" in the Profile Editor to find out what it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Study the first picture on page one of this thread:

1. First select your button (assuming you have one already) if not drag one out from the toolbox and select it in Layers.
2. Select the Output tab to see the bindings
3. Expand the Interfaces option by clicking on the > to reveal Profile
4. Again click the > next to Profile to expand it
5. Immediately under Profile you should see Reset
6. Click and Drag Reset in Actions to Pushed in the Bindings
7. Save


Done

Well,,, that certainly did the trick! I was taking the wrong approach and attempting to implement keybindings. Thank you very much!

BMS, not DCS. Unfortunately, not all swiches are implemented. Also in this instance, I can't get the LG light to activate.

The lua code is very simple, I wonder if BMS is just not listening for input, or it requires a specific format.

Strange to see the use of 1 and 2 in lieu of 0 and 1 for computer code. This might require some playing but at present I'm not certain BMS receives anything from my Helios monitor 2, so reluctant to playing with code til that resolved!

regards

LaLa

Just wanted you to know that I used your method to place the radar in the new Mig 21 profile done by Capt Z and also I used your idea of placing pause, active pause and the Helios control button in the profile.
Thanks
