Using your advice I am much more consistent in my lineup and AOA on my final rollout. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know the numbers to hit during the Triple Nickel approach other than the break starting at 500 knots and 500 feet over the ramp and ending in the Groove at .5 miles from the carrier? I tried to get as much I can from this video posted by Wingnut: For my attempt I hit the ramp at around 500 feet and 500 knots, pulled a hard 5.5 to 6 Gs left turn with full speedbrake to get to the 180 as soon as possible while trying to maintiain 500 feet. At the 180 I let off on the turn to about 2 Gs, continuing variable speedbraking to get to gear, flaps and hook down by the 90. Post 90 I used power management and increased turn rate to try to get to the start of the Groove on speed at around 370 feet. I let off of the turn a bit too much and ended up to the right of the Groove and a bit further than .5 miles from the carrier. Despite my power management being a bit sloppy I still managed to hit the 3 wire relatively lined up and a bit low. I flew it in VR and recorded the track, so the recording FOV is a bit too close and the camera shaky. I am getting more consistent hitting the Groove, but it is still hit or miss. Any knowledgeable tips would be appreciated.

Try running Kneeboard Builder as an administrator.

Don't use the Height and Width offsets. That is mainly for HELIOS users who need to restrict the screen area the kneeboard can display on.

Version 1.7.0.5 Released Version 1.7.0.5 is now available. -Fixed FA-18C custom kneeboard pointing to wrong directory With this update your custom kneeboards for the FA-18C should show up in DCS.

For my X-65 I am not yet sure how how to set it up for the idle detent, but as far as the afterburner detent I am using the following custom curves for each throttle axis: Slider User Curve 0, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 For me that puts full mil power just before the AB detent. EDIT: I just figured out a way to get the idle detent to work using bands and advanced commands in the profiler software. I put the bands on mode 4 so I don't accidentally kill the engines mid-flight. 1) Using the profiler software add three bands to both throttles. The first (top) band should be 93% and the 2nd and 3rd bands should split the difference (3-4% each). 2) Assign an advanced command to the 2nd bands for the Engine Starts. Use only the 'Press' command and set the press intervals for both keys to 0 and the release interval for both keys to .1 3) Assign an advanced command to the 3rd bands for the Engine Shutoffs. Use only the 'Press' command and set the press intervals for both keys to 0 and the release interval for both keys to .1 4) Test the profile to make sure the start commands fire only once when the throttle is moved into the idle detent and the shutoff commands fire only once when the throttle is moved to the off position. I'm attaching my x-65 profile for reference. DCS FA-18C.zip

The default kneeboard locations for each terrain are located at: ...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Nevada\Kneeboard ...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Caucasus\Kneeboard ...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Normandy\Kneeboard ...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\PersianGulf\Kneeboard Just modify the content in each of those to your liking. Kneeboard Builder is a free program that makes managing your kneeboards a little easier: http://www.dcskneeboardbuilder.com/

If you 'alt-tab' when it hangs does an error pop-up?

Did my recent update fix the hanging problem you were experiencing?

If you are using Kneeboard Builder I just put out an update that will allow you to move the Viggen kneeboard.

Version 1.7.0.4 Released Version 1.7.0.4 is now available. -Added 'Standard 1.5.8' to DCS Version selection in Preferences window. -Preferences selection window will now appear when Kneeboard Builder is opened for the first time. -Added custom kneeboard support for SA342Minigun. -AJS37 kneeboard size and position profiles working again. -Added Persian Gulf dynamic radio pages. Thanks again to everyone that pointed out errors to me.

Extract the attached file to your Kneeboard Builder folder. Open the file with a text editor like Notepad++ and change the 'DCSpath' and 'SavedGamesPath' to match your system. KneeboardBuilder.exe.Config.zip

I am working on an update for Kneeboard Builder that will bring back support for positioning the Viggen kneeboard and maybe the Mig-21 kneeboard.

Which aircraft are you trying to set the profile for?

Try the attached .zip file. Extract everything to the '...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Cockpit\scripts\KNEEBOARD\pages' folder and replace all the .lua files. All I did was modify the font size modifier from .06 to .95 in each file. You can continue to tweak the font size to your liking by changing the red numbers in line 89 (sometimes 90) in each of the .lua files. Try small increments (.01 or .05) until it looks good for you. You will have to reload the mission to see your changes (Shift - R). txt.stringdefs = {default_char_height*[b][color="Red"]0.95[/color][/b], default_char_width*[b][color="red"]0.95[/color][/b],0,0} Viggen Kneeboard Fix.zip

It may be having difficulty distinguishing between the stable versions now that there are two of them. I'll have to take a look at it.

Sometimes the error popup gets stuck behind the splash screen so you can't see it. If you alt-tab it should eventually show up. Can you send me your windows error logs right after you try running Kneeboard Builder? They will give me a good idea of what the problem is. For windows 10: Right click on the start menu -> computer management -> expand 'event viewer' -> expand 'windows logs' -> click on application To save your all events: right click on application -> save all events as -> enter a name and save as an Event File (.evtx) To save a single event: right click on the event(s) you want to save -> save selected event -> enter a name and save as an Event File (.evtx) E-mail the logs to me at s13solutions@gmail.com.

It's fixed now. Thanks!

I haven't found a way to remove those. I can get the maps removed, but I can't remove the blank pages that are left behind.

I'll have to take a look at that again now that 2.5 has dropped. I had difficulty getting it to work in the past because singleplayer missions load differently than multiplayer missions and I could never quite find where the multiplayer .miz file is saved to when a player connects to a server.

If Kneeboard Builder can't find or access the files at '...DCS World/Scripts/Aircrafts/_Common/Cockpit/ViewportHandling.lua' and '...Saved Games/Config/options.lua.' the 'Kneeboard Settings' option will be greyed out. Generally, either Kneeboard Builder is pointing to the wrong DCS install directory or the ViewportHandling.lua is in use and locked by another program or mod.

Version 1.7.0.3 Released Version 1.7.0.3 is now available. -Fixed 'ParseDouble' crash on startup for some users. This should fix the 'ParseDouble' error people are getting. I had to tweak the logic a bit more for the DCS 2.5 Caucusus terrain file structure changes while also trying to maintain backwards compatibility for DCS 1.5. Please continue to post problems to me here on the forums or via email at s13solutions@gmail.com. I apologize for all the late replies, my real job keeps getting in the way. A big thanks to everyone who emailed me their errors.

Which items are you trying to remove?

It is possible but a bit tricky because you have to modify the 'device_init.lua' in each aircraft mod folder separately to point to the custom 'declare_kneeboard_device.lua' in the saved games folder. Then modify the custom 'declare_kneeboard_device.lua' to point to the custom 'indicator/init.lua' location in the saved games folder.
