Make sure the DCS World Install Directory and Saved Games Directory are pointing to the right place and OpenBeta is checked. It is grayed out if it cannot find one or both of these two files: ...\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\options.lua and ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua

It was a bit grainy and it came out even more grainy when I uploaded it to youtube but I think it still resembles this actual footage:

I took some of my 1.5 Openbeta recordings to practice video editing and put this together:

What version of Kneeboard Builder do you currently have?

You have the current verson of the .NET Framework, so you don't need to install anything. Right after you try running Kneeboard Builder, could you save your Windows Event Logs and PM them to me or post them? (Right-click Start> Computer Management> Event Viewer> Windows Logs>Right click on Application> save all events as> save the logs as Event Files) Thanks.

I have uploaded several of my live render scenes (animated and static) for the Main Menu default scene in DCS World 1.5 to the DCS User Files. Here is the download link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1542827/ To install copy the "Scripts" folder for your desired theme to your DCS World openBeta root folder overwriting the 'mainThemeScene.lua' file. Only one theme can be installed at a time. Included scenes: F-18 flying in the clouds (animated); F-15 flying in the clouds (animated); Su-27 flying in the clouds (animated); Simple versions of the flying F-18, F-15 and Su-27with no clouds (animated). Multiple F-18s in a hanger (no-animation);

I used mist.makeUnitTable{} for the units table in the mist.msgMGRS calls. I am not sure if that was really necessary or not, but according to the documentation that is what was required. Also I noticed the mist.msgMGRS message in game was overwriting the FAC informational message that was supposed to appear after the mist call, so I combined that text into the mist.msgMGRS message. That required that I put in the correct string break and newline syntax in each string. mist.msgMGRS{ units = mist.makeUnitTable({ "R5", "R5_1", "R5_2", "R5_3", "R5_4", "R5_5" }), acc = 6, displayTime = 40, msgFor = {coa = {'all'}}, text = "Pontiac, UZI, We have spotted a large enemy force to the west of our FOB. Go get em!\n We have a ground FAC \"Eyeball 6\" on 41.80 FM for this task.\n", } Which events were messed up when you saved in 1.5? I didn't really look at anything else other than the mist.msgMGRS calls.

Glad it is working for you. Looks like a fun one, I will have to give it a go.

Apparently I didn't have the syntax quite right and there were a few other errors in the scripts as well. It seems to be working correctly now. Operation_Saturn_V2.1 WC12v9.miz

It looks like mist is expecting a table for the 'msgFor' variable, not a string. Try placing braces {} around the coalition in the msgFor variable in each of your task scripts. I am not at my computer so I haven't been able to test this myself. For example: EDIT: I got it working with this code syntax: mist.msgMGRS{ units = mist.makeUnitTable({ "R9", "R9_1", "R9_2", "R9_3", "R9_4", "R9_5" }), acc = 6, displayTime = 40, msgFor = {coa = {'all'}}, text = "Pontiac, UZI, We have found a large fuel depot. Destroy it!!\n ", }

Here is a temporary fix for anyone using the DCS 1.5 openbeta and the dynamic mission briefings. Place the 'missiondata.lua' into your 'Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Data\KneeboardData' directory, overwriting the old file. missiondata.lua

Thank you for pointing me down the right path. I got it working again.

That appears to be due to a bug within DCS 1.5. Hopefully it will be fixed with a DCS update soon.

It is rendered by DCS's sceneAPI using lua. The scene files are located here: ...DCS World OpenBetaScriptsDemoScenes Attached is an example 'mainThemeScene.lua' file that adds an F-18 model to the rendered scene. Make a backup of the original and replace it with this one. mainThemeScene.lua

I am glad you were able to get it to work. I don't know why it requires admin privileges for some people but not others.

It sounds like Ghostscript is not working for you. Do you have the files 'gsdll64.dll' and 'Ghostscript.NET.dll' in the Kneeboard Builder base folder? Are you running 64 bit windows?

Iku64, Thanks for the crash logs. It looks like your User Account Controls (UAC) is blocking Kneeboard Builder from writing to its own configuration file. Could you try moving the Kneeboard Builder folder to a non-elevated directory (like the Desktop)? You could also try running Kneeboard Builder as an administrator, but drag and drop and other features may not work correctly. Let me know if either of those work. Thanks.

Try deleting the 'config' folder in the Kneeboard Builder folder and then create a new kneeboard profile in 'kneeboard settings'. Please let know if that works for you.

zetetic and Iku64, Right after you try running Kneeboard Builder, could you save your Windows Event Logs and PM them to me or post them? (Start> right click "my computer"> manage> Event Viewer> Windows Logs>Right click on Application> save all events as> save the logs as Event Files) Thanks.

I'll take a further look. That is pretty strange. I have not had any reports about it from anyone else, but that doesn't mean no one else is affected.

If you are having difficulty reading an imported file, you could try raising the import resolution in Options -> Preferences. You could also make the kneeboard size larger in Options -> Kneeboard Settings. I don't know of a good place to get quick start guides. Hopefully someone else will. Sorry the tutorials are still incomplete and WIP. I start making them, but then the program ends up evolving some more and life gets busy.

Version 1.6.6.3 Released Version 1.6.6.3 is now available. Changelog - Added limited HTML drag and drop image conversion - Fixed kneeboard settings not working properly for DCS World OpenBeta

I have been away on work assignment for the last several weeks and haven't even had the chance to try out the 1.5 beta yet. I will get back in several days and will take a look at it then. Thanks for letting me know.

Did you click the right arrow to add your group to the "Groups Selected for Custom Kneeboard" list? The insert into .miz button should become enabled if there is at least one group selected to be added to the kneeboard.

I will look into it.
