FC,

When adding the key bindings for pushed is it SEND KEYS OR PRESS KEYS,
Also when entering enter, I take it you have to type {RETURN} ? otherwise when I press enter the box drops down a line, if that makes sense.

I've now exported the CAP to my laptop screen 15" , nice and big

But sill the options is proving to be a bastad

Its press keys, send keys has issues for simple key presses. You should use press and release as separate commands.

You cant press the enter key no. For all the special keys you have to write them as shown in the box above. {RETURN} is the way DCS sees the numpad enter key. I had it as {ENTER} for ages trying to work it out until I realised that DCS sees it as {RETURN}. You also have to use lower case letters as Helios sees capital letters as different to little letters in computer language but DCS accepts caps and small letters as if they were all small (but displays as CAPS in the options) so never sees a capital letter sent by Helios.

I've reprogammed every button on an RAF.hpf profile and still nothing, i've also changed my keyboard port, so I've given up and going to just use the keys.

Ok buddy, that's a shame. No idea what the problem has been for you though mate. Using the numberpad on the keyboard works fine though. I did that a bit before I made the Helios profile.

Do you think its a DCS focus thing?

[Alien]

Got it working mate, don't ask me how, haha

I'd just written down the keys to use,
T,RALT9,1,ENTER, U,6 blah blah and I saw the options light up , it was one of those Condor moments
Works a treat.
I have had to wipe VA and reinstall but I'm using Bailey's & Dailey's profiles, now I just have to sort my radio / Mic switch

Awesome!!

Awesome!!

Oh, and my bombs were dropping off this morning , all 4 16's, went back to Stennis ( 3 wire ) and loaded with 14 82's,
2 runs from 10,000ft 4 bombs ripple, then jester decided to drop the remainer in the sea, what a merchant

Sounds good to me! All I need now is to be able to launch AIM 54's reliably!! Having said that I haven't tried since the other week.
