This is the source code repository for the Helios Virtual Cockpit System for DCS World. This repository is for core and module developers use. If you are looking for end user downloads and documentation please visit http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com.

Helios is composed to two programs, the first Profile Editor allows the creation of virtual cockpits. Visual components in the profile can then be bound to an interface which allows communication between DCS and the virtual cockpit. Input bindings take DCS TRIGGERS and links them to ACTIONS on the visual components. Output bindings take TRIGGERs in the virtual cockpit, and links them to ACTIONs on the interface into DCS. The interface that gets bound to the visual components is usually aircraft specific.

The Helios Control Center program executes the profile that was created by the Profile Editor and displays the virtual cockpit, usually on a touch screen, for the virtual pilot to interact with.

When the aircraft specific interface is deployed from the Profile Editor, it creates an exports.lua script file in the %userprofile%\saved games\DCS\Scripts\ directory, and this is the code that is invoked by DCS at aircraft start-up, and communicates with the Control Center over a UDP link.
