UH-1H huey
DCS 1.5 +
Using the same techniques i used on the MI-8, to export all data to Helios, I created this new UH-1H Helios Profile.
The resoult is a fully functional profile, width all the data from the cockpit and full clickable and syncronized from Helios. In other words, same funtionality as KA50 and A10C profiles.
Hope you like it !
For this profile i exported all the instruments, lamps, selectors and switches in the cockpit, Of course i added the navigation panel from others profiles, so you can check airport charts, tactical maps, ndbs, etc

- Export.lua:
Important notice !!
Included in the Scripts folder, you can find the export.lua, ready to export data A10C, KA50, FC3, F-15C, P-51D, Mi-8 and all the changes needed to implement this new UH-1H profile.
This file is a modified version of the Loophole Updated version from 09/11/2014, ( http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=97222 )
The modifications i made correct some HSI data and waypoint distance to work properly, and all the changes i made to export additional data to Helios when you fly the F-15C, the P51D, the MI-8, and UH-1H
In others words this is the most updated export.lua, so you can fly width any of my actual profiles, ka50, su25t, f-15c, p-51D, MI-8, UH-1H also compatible width a10c.
If you want to use my SU27 and SU23 profiles, use the export.lua that you can find in the download section of the website.
- default.lua:
I have included in the profile, all the buttons and switches of the cockpit. Helios control those switches across the keyboard interface, so, for that, i create a new defaul.lua to implement all the unassigned controls in the simulator.
You need to copy this file to the proper folder in your installation. (see INSTALLATION bellow)
I recomend you use some mod manager, like JSGME, to copy it, because in each update of the game, this file can be changed by the developers.
- International Keyboards:
Some switches and buttoms use key bindings that can be different depends of the keyboard you are using.
I prepared 5 diferent setups for spanish QWERTY, english QWERTY, italian QWERTY, german QWERTZ, french AZERTY, and russian QWERTY, so you can start the one you need.
I created a web utility that can convert any keyboard traslation, for the moment is not public, but if you need a special international configuration, let me know.
- Monitor aspect resolutions:
I made two different profiles, v1.0 for 16:10 monitors and v1.0b for 16:9 monitors. Use the one better fit width you monitor resolution.
- Thanks:
I made the entire graphic art, based on screenshots of the simulator, and the textures of the game.
I used the airport charts from http://www.virtual-jabog32.de and the tactical chart TC-1 created by =MAF=Mongoose and the NDBs list created by Lino_Germany.
For the export.lua i used the Loophole version, compatible width KA50, A10c and FC3 as a base for all my implementations.
In the export.lua i include a couple of functions by [FSF]Ian to export the digits of the UV26 for the MI-8
I want to thanks aswell to all the people who help me, in the DCS forum, every time i reached a deadlock, somewhere!
And of course to Gadroc for creating Helios, this great software.

INSTALLATION
--Install Helios if you don't have it yet. (http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com/helios/latest)
-Copy the profile you need, for your resolution and languaje, on the profiles folder, usualy in user/my documents/helios/profiles
-Copy the folder Capt_Zeen on the images folder, usualy in user/my documents/helios/images
-Run the HeliosProfileEditor, load the profile UH-1H you want to use, and perform a Reset Monitors from the menu Profile.
-Save the profile
-Dont forget to use the correct export.lua i included in the package.
Copy it in C:\Users\yourusername\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts, but first make a backup copy of your actual export.lua.
-IF you use Tackview, Tarst or another external scripts, copy the corresponding lines from your old export.lua to the new one.
- copy the keyboard default.lua in the installation DCS folder\Mods\aircraft\UH-1H\Input\UH-1H\keyboard , but first make a backup copy of your actual default.lua
I recomend you to use a a mods manager to do this last step, like JSGME. Every update of the game can change this file.
RUNNING THE PROFILE
-Open the Helios Control Center, select the profile and start it.
INTERNATIONAL KEYBOARDS
Some switches and buttoms use key bindings that can be different depends of the keyboard you are using.
I prepared 6 diferent setups for spanish QWERTY, english QWERTY, italian QWERTY, german QWERTZ, french AZERTY, and russian QWERTY, so you can start the one you need.
I created a web utility that can convert any keyboard traslation, for the moment is not public, but if you need a special international configuration, let me know.
CONFIGURING THE SECOND MONITOR
You dont need to use any special configuration to use this profile, becouse dont use any viewport from the game.
KNOWN ISSUES
- Even knowing that IFF is not operative in the simulator, i implemented it, so you can use it from the profile aswell. The IFF test switches of the profile react a bit slowly, so be sure they come back to the default position after any test. If they stay in the upper position after release it, they can block the input of the game. so just be sure you put it them to the default position after use it.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
If you use Helios and TARS or TACKVIEW you can have miss workings due to the way Helios works width the export.lua.
To prevent this, just move the lines for Tars or tackview to the very end of the export.lua in C:\Users\yourusername\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts.
