To be honest, I haven't figured out how to get Aries, Tacview, or any mods to work. I downloaded them and read the read me files, but I have no clue as to how to set them up correctly. I know it's me that's not doing something right. Im not as tech savvy as I once was. As for the CDU app, I've got the A-10C CDU/AAP app on my iPad. And it works just great. I just am not sure how to get the other consoles (radios, UFC, ect.) on the app. It's just the CDU. It's quite useful though.
If none of the gauges are working here are some tips, two things you need to check, I will assume you are using a premade dash template from Capt Zeen or by someone else, if so, they should already have the A-10 interface installed, at this point, lets assume that to be correct.
1) Open the profile you are using in the Helios profile editor and make sure you have the correct path set up for your game directory as shown in the pic below. Once you enter the correct path, click in the window and a "Setup DCS A-10" button will appear in the lower right portion of the window.
2) Then go to your "USER\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha directory. Check to see if there is a "Scripts" folder, if there is not one, create it and then install the Export.lua file that I included below by simply extracting the contents of the zip file to the Scripts folder you just created (or the pre-existing one).(I also included my Tacview Export.lua)
That should get your Helios instruments to function.
Refer to Energy's post on the last page for monitor set up and export placement for the MFCDs, RWR, Clock and the UHF repeater.
Hope this helps.

Ok so Energy I tried your export.lua and it did not work. Everything exports to my monitor perfectly as should.. mfcd rwr etc But Helios is still not communicating with DCS. I assume it could be the firewall thing that you were talking about but i dont know where in the files in dcs 2.0 to go look to make it give permission. How can i fix that??? AAAHHHHH

Did you go into Helios and enable the export?
Just disable windows firewall for a test and see if it works then.
Coolhand told me where to look where the firewall is. Its not blocking it or dcs. I dont know. Im close to giving up. If i uninstall it where can i find it in the registry?
