Helios Developer Tools

There are a number of Helios Developer Tools that are compiled with Helios but not shipped by default. Some of these are available in the "HeliosDeveloperTools.msi" installer.

When installing these tools from the MSI, take care to explicitly specify the location of your Helios install as the installation location. Specifically, you will need to target "...\HeliosVirtualCockpit\Helios" or "...\HeliosVirtualCockpit\HeliosDev" depending on where your matching Helios build is located.

The following tools are included in the MSI:

Together, they can be used to generate viewport templates and DCS Additional Viewports patches for previously unsupported aircraft or when DCS has changed too much for patches to continue to work. An example process is documented here.
