DCS-Kiowa by Klitsmell

Interface and Profile are still a WIP!!

This profile will require you to add additional viewports and use a Monitor Configuration outside of Helios control at this time. 

For issues or questions please use the CaptZeen Discord server 



Instructions:

1.  Place the image folder (OH-58 Kiowa) here:
...\Documents\Helios\Images\



2.  Place the profile and Interface into the appropriate Helios location:
...\Documents\Helios\Profiles
...\Documents\Helios\Interface



3.  Place the Monitor LUA file here:
...\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\MonitorSetup\Kiowa.lua

or 

...\Saved Games\DCS\Config\MonitorSetup\Kiowa.lua


My monitor config is 1 2560x1440 with a touch display below it at 1920x1080.  You will need to make adjustments inside the LUA file if your resolution is different.  See this link for instructions on Multi Monitor setup:
https://forum.dcs.world/topic/258724-how-to-multi-monitor-mfcd-display-export-set-up-guide-july-2023-updated/

You will need to update the following export INIT files in your DCS install location with the following code at the end of the file (Be sure to backup the files FIRST):

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
update_screenspace_diplacement(1, true, 0)
try_find_assigned_viewport("Kiowa_CI") 

Update locations (I have the Open beta location, yours may be "DCS World"):
...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Cockpit\CI\Indicator\init.lua
...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Cockpit\RWR\Indicator\init.lua
...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Cockpit\MPD\Indicator\init.lua
...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Cockpit\RPMTRQ\Indicator\init.lua
...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Cockpit\RFD\Indicator\init.lua
...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Cockpit\Clock\Indicator\init.lua


Optionally you can put in the L2MUMS Display to another location as needed:
...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Cockpit\L2MUMS\Indicator\init.lua



4.  Open the profile and reset your monitor configuration



5.  Open DCS and select the monitor configuration from above




Known issues

*Radio Encoders spin in one direction
*Zeroize switches and covers not working on MFK keyboard unit
*Auto/Manual dash indicator button does not show correct values (Will need to create a new button)
*Attitude indicator cage and adjustment knob not working correctly.  Moves in one direction.  Probably due to right click?
*L2MUMS Display on MFD not working.  Requires additional MFD Page as it will blank screen only.  May be able to use a screen replicator to resolve this in the future


Future enhancements:

*Bar and text display creation
*Move Image folder?
*L2MUMS display addition
