If you run into a mission breaking bug you can end the 'DCS.exe' process in the task manager to quit DCS mid-mission without affecting your campaign progress.

Fixed. Thanks for letting me know.

Version 1.6.7.9 Released Version 1.6.7.9 is now available. Changelog - Added custom kneeboard support for SA342L

Version 1.6.7.8 Released Version 1.6.7.8 is now available. Changelog - Added user's manual to Docs folder

Kneeboard Builder Manual Rev 1 Here is the first revision of the Kneeboard Builder Manual. The troubleshooting section is still a work in progress. Eventually I will include the most recent manual in the Kneeboard Builder installation. Please let me know if you spot any errors, items in need of further explanation or missing features.

You are absolutely right. I just need to get myself motivated and get it done.

Sorry for the long absence. With a long home remodel and what felt like an even longer visit from family I haven't had a chance over the last several months to focus on anything DCS. Don't run Kneeboard Builder as an administrator as that will disable that feature (its a Windows security issue that I can't seem to get around). Specific files per coalition currently isn't supported by DCS. The list is auto-generated based on the modules you have installed. Not showing in DCS? 1) Close Kneeboard Builder and DCS 2) Delete or rename your '.../Saved Games/DCS/Kneeboard' folder for the standard, beta or alpha installs 3) Rebuild your kneeboards with Kneeboard Builder Look in your '.../Saved Games/DCS/Kneeboard' folder and make sure there is a folder with the name 'M-2000C' and see if your custom kneeboard images are in that folder. The folder must be named 'M-2000C', if it is not then rename it. Rename the 'F-5E' folder to 'F-5E-3' and it should work. (Kneeboard Builder currently has a bug that is creating the F-5 folder with the wrong name)

Running a repair of DCS World should fix it. Did Kneeboard Builder cause it to go transparent?

An easier way would be to locate the installed program's base path by searching the registry for the uninstall key for each program. Here is the function I use for Kneeboard Builder: First declare the registry key for the uninstall key: internal static RegistryKey regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"); The function for searching the registry: /// <summary> /// Return installation path to installed program .exe /// </summary> /// <param name="parentKey"></param> /// <param name="name"></param> /// <returns></returns> internal string FindByDisplayName(RegistryKey parentKey, string name) { string[] nameList = parentKey.GetSubKeyNames(); for (int i = 0; i < nameList.Length; i++) { RegistryKey regKey = parentKey.OpenSubKey(nameList[i]); try { if (regKey.GetValue("DisplayName").ToString() == name) { return regKey.GetValue("InstallLocation").ToString(); } } catch { } } return ""; } Call the function like in these examples: DCSbetaPath = FindByDisplayName(regKey, "DCS World OpenBeta"); DCSpath = FindByDisplayName(regKey, "DCS World"); Have your program look for each installation path at startup and you should be good to go. I am self taught myself but am willing to help if you have any questions.

Is the program crashing or is there a particular feature that isn't working for you? I apologize for the tutorials as well. Features were still changing so much that I put off making more until I had a more finalized and polished version of the program. I developed the program purely as a hobby during some downtime and my hobby has now taken a back seat to a new baby and my real job.

Try updating the size and position manually by using the .lua file in this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2801926&postcount=483

Whenever you change the height/width etc for a kneeboard profile make sure you save it and then select the profile using the task bar icon. That should update the necessary DCS files. It is also important to remember that whenever you initially open Kneeboard Builder it will automatically select your default kneeboard profile and set the DCS files accordingly. Let me know if you need clearer directions.

That whole system is not working correctly since the DCS 2.0 and 1.5 transitions. ED changed the way the missions are loaded and I haven't had the chance or motivation to really dig for the solution yet. I will try to look at it again once the 2.0 and 1.5 merge occurs.

That was what I was expecting. For some reason one or both of the files it needs are not accessible on your system. I am glad you are able to accomplish it manually.

Sorry for the delay. Give this version of Kneeboard Builder that has the file restrictions removed a try: Kneeboard Builder Dev Build 1.6.7.6 If that doesn't work you can use the attached ViewportHandling.lua to manually modify the size and position. Change the values for the first four lines to the pixel size you need : local kneeY = 800 (Kneeboard Height) local kneeX = 550 (Kneeboard Width) local kneePosY = 276 (Vertical position from the top left corner) local kneePosX = 1365 (Horizontal position from the top left corner ) Replace the file at ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua with this one. ViewportHandling.lua

Version 1.6.7.6 Released Version 1.6.7.6 is now available. Changelog - Added missing cockpit background images for Gazelle and Mirage in Kneeboard Settings - Fixed cockpit background images not appearing in background image selection dialog IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a file system change implemented in DCS World versions 1.5.3 and 2.0.1, this version of Kneeboard Builder may not modify the default kneeboards correctly for prior versions of DCS World.

The button is disabled if one or both of these two files are missing or unavailable: Standard Install: ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua ...\Saved Games\DCS\Config\options.lua Beta Install: ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua ...\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\options.lua Alpha Install: ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua ...\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Config\options.lua Check to see if the viewporthandling.lua and options.lua are accessible with read/write permissions for the DCS installation you are trying to use.

I just release a new quick fix update to Kneeboard Builder that should fix this problem.

Version 1.6.7.5 Released Version 1.6.7.5 is now available. Changelog - Fixed wrong SA342M Gazelle custom kneeboard folder name IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a file system change implemented in DCS World versions 1.5.3 and 2.0.1, this version of Kneeboard Builder may not modify the default kneeboards correctly for prior versions of DCS World.

It is returning a "file not found" error, but I am trying to determine which file. This can also occur if you did not extract the zip file to a non-protected folder or drive before running Kneeboard Builder. You can also try running it as an administrator and see if that helps. Sorry for the late reply too. I got caught up in a very long work schedule and forgot about it.

Sorry for the late replay. Please send me your error logs immediately after you try running Kneeboard Builder. E-mail them to s13solutions@gmail.com. Thanks.

NADIR Navigation Course NADIR Navigation Course Fly the navigation course by using the NADIR to manually input navigation waypoints. Land at the FARP at each destination to receive the coordinates to the next FARP. Destination coordinates will be given over VHF radio frequency 120 AM. There are three versions: EASY: You will be flying during a partly cloudy morning. MEDIUM: You will be flying at night with a fog bank rolling in. HARD: You will be flying at night during a severe thunderstorm. The most direct route may not be the best route. The easy and medium versions will take approximately 1.5 hours to complete. The hard version is very challenging and may take 2 - 3 hours, if not longer, depending on your route and headwind.

Are you able to resize it the window at all?

I am not quite sure why its doing that to you. However you should be able to resize the window to the correct size by clicking on the 'Maximize Window' button at the top right.

That is my preferred method for using the gyro sights and allows for some accurate ranged shots. A relatively good example from an older video at 1:27
