Helios In P3D?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Had anyone tried using Helios with P3D?

Thanks

Yes.

 

Umm . . . I'm guessing that you want more than just a yes or no here.

 

So what specifically are you asking about the helicopters? The only default helicopter in P3D2 is the Robinson R22, but I'm using a couple of third party add-on helos.

Yes, many different helicopters. What do you want to know exactly?

Well, then No. 

 

[That's the trouble with trying to help someone, who isn't clear about what they are asking about.]

Helios is a display software, privately developed for public use.  Is an awesome application.

 

@ the OP - I have Helios, but have not set it up for P3D.  I would imagine no different than FSX, and I've used it with the NGX. 

 

And the OP was crystal clear...

Perhaps so, but quite honestly it could well have been a typographical error just as easily!

 

This is obtuse enough that I only found a link on the second page of a google search:

Well, it obviously wasn't "crystal clear" to me.  Crystal clear would have been "Helio display software."

 

I have language issues so I don't always notice when a word has something like and extra letter . . . what I saw was "helos". Sorry for trying to help someone else here.

Exactly, my first thought was that it was a typo and he meant helicopters.

 So did I! According to "Google" there are at least 20 other software programs that use the name "Helios" in their product's title... :wacko:

OK. Sorry for not making my original post clearer. I was assuming that Helios was well known enough that the members of this community would know what I meant. My apologies. As has been stated above by others, the Helios I meant is the touch panel software. Has anyone had success using this with P3D?

Thanks

I'd already posted that exact link in reply #7, but it sure doesn't hurt to have it again... B)

It's actually very cool stuff.

 

I wasn't trying to be a d--k earlier, I just felt like the OP got dumped on for not being super detailed in his post.  Sorry about that.
