...even working out a new border with a iPad skin ,or similar, ( Click-able?! ), to make it absulute plausible why the kneeboard is always bright and shiny, also at night , and not influenced by the ambient light when rendered in-cockpit .

- yes , but this 'early files' that got leaked by Icemaker are not fully compatible with this mod (I never wanted to make a public release with them - they where just meant for showcasing something to him during a e-mail/skype conversation). My version looks right now like this : "fixed" in-cockpit UH-1H kneeboard position: ... Please have some patience - I'm not a 'coding machine' - and the read-me/explanation wants also to be written... ... the family have to be feed - bills have to be paid.;) - expect a new version within the next two to four days. In the meantime you are free to use the links that lefuneste01 gave you - but don't expect any assistance on how to make it work together with this 'Kneeboard-base-mod'. ... working out functional FC3 in-cockpit positions.

Now I'm also confused - as there is absulute no info I can work with in your reply .

Did you read this 'guide' ? : A Helping hand how to edit "Monitorsetup".lua files: ------------------------------------------------------ >>> Dummies Guide for the “MonitorSetup.lua“ http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/214771/ To help you further we need a little more info what you have tried already - and how your desktop layout is . - so we can short-cut the usual troubleshooting. Or just try this : Easy Monitor Configurator - once you got through the installing "hiccup" >>> you should have no problem to configure it without editing a file - just read the read-me of EMC.

My thoughts about the 'Why?' Typos are fixed, thanks I removed the mission during the latest update to stay under 10mb and load it directly up in this forum , but this failed and I loaded it up to Mediafire - but didn't repacked it again. Well , the mission is nothing fancy - its all planes/modules set as client - so its easy to hop in and out in each cockpit to check the view-positions without reloading again. (see attached) Mission will be included in the user-files upload. - and sorry for the delay , but right now this: » KNEEBOARD Export for 'multimonitorsetup.lua' in all modules - DCS 1.2.4 has the highest priority on my list - and it still needs some retouch , so I dedicate my free-time first on this until I'm satisfied , than I will look again at the view-positions again. And to be honest : I just needed a break from all this "View" stuff ;):) All planes-modules test.miz

another workaround: This dose't fix the export , but it will render the Kneeboard inside the cockpit , so you are still able to get all info from the charts even if no "KNEEBORD" entry is defined in your "MiltimonitorSetup".lua Go to \Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\init.lua and delete/comment out line # 49 , example: from this: purposes = {100,render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW} to this -- purposes = {100,render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW}

Did now some tests with common Helios set-ups only in the A-10C and saw myself how inconvenient this 'A-10C TAD bug' is - I also located 'somehow' the culprit in the A-10C MFCD_page_TAD_MAP.lua and/or MFCD_page_TAD_CHART.lua (or close) - but I wasn't able Mask the TAD only on to the export render-space of the MFCD- maybe there is just a simple thing that I'm missing... Whatever - instead that I reserve-engineer something and/or just 'Try' and waste a lot of time: It would be much simpler if a Tester would start a request in his tester-forum and ask for Dev input. A) how to mask the TAD texture - so it didn't spawns to the knee-board ? and/or B) how to bring the Knee-board to another level while keeping the User-Charts intact? Maybe it's just a very simple edit to bring the Kneeboard to full function while it is rendered near a MFCD export in the A-10C. Maybe this behaviour is also the main culprit why we don't have the knee-board implemented in the A-10C by default in 1.2.4 , while all others modules use it - who knows?!

Yes, for all planes that uses the NVG - but you might want to have a look at this: NVG Mod and use a blank Focus.png with it >>> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1757806#post1757806

The TAD and the Kneeboard share the same Level. Quick'n'Dirty temp workaround only for the A-10C: \DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\definitions.lua line number #2 - set DEFAULT_LEVEL = 4 To DEFAULT_LEVEL = 5 But this sadly triggers that the charts aren't visible any-more... - well , this needs some special treatment and a deeper analysis how it's chained together for a robust fix.

edited post#1 This mod got obsolete and is replaced by this: KNEEBOARD Export for 'multimonitorsetup.lua' in all modules - DCS 1.2.4 @Moderators Please close this thread.

A-10C Kneeboard Fix for DCS 1.2.4 Download in the first post in combination with the original mod. Controller Profile edit.jpg: A-10C Kneeboard FIX for DCS 1.2.4.jpg :

I got everything in place now and it works, but I will now reinstall a whole DCS-World on a separate system to check again if I didn't missed something. When everything works as expected I will upload the "A-10C Kneeboard FIX for DCS 1.2.4" within the next hour.

Attention! It's not save to use Heaters instruction and it isn't working! 1. there is a second entry for the "device_init.lua" missing (creators) 2. The "devices.lua" needs also a entry. 3. The key-commands trigger a conflict with other key-commands that are already occupied by default. Please be a little patient and wait until I will upload a save-to-use file package that fixes the Kneebord for the A-10C

Try this instead: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1628706#post1628706 It will 'correct' your stick behaviour. And the sounds you are searching are localized here: ...\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\ForceTrimOn.wav and ForceTrimOff.wav

Thanks - that's it! Edited post #1 with direct link to the fix as long I have not incorporated it in the mod. - (sorry, I can't hold it:)) but , a 'fix' directly from ED would be much more convenient. And use Notepad++ when you edit the scripts! And: before you edit: Make a Backup, make a Backup and make a Backup! - OK ?! General: Always make a backup ! And be very careful what you do as long there is no info that it works with your current version! If you are not sure: Check the file structure beforehand. Edit:

Please don't forget to make your 'bug' report !- as it is strange that all other modules expect the A-10C is using now the default Knee-board in DCS-World. - this is just a strange - even if this feature was never promised for the A-10C. Up to the date until I will make a own 'fix' , this vids should be proof enough that the kneeboard is working very fine in the A-10C: and a more 'experimental' stage:

Will do - but not today - I'm getting too..., well - how to say it ?... , unsure about my user-keyboard interactions ... (it's since 30mins not my birthday any-more in my time-zone) .... I'm just happy to hold a glass without spilling it ! :) Another cause could be that I'm using edited device_init.lua files in my saved games directory - as I said : will find soon a "easy" fix Also thanks for the reminder to care for a more 'sterile' testing environment!

well, you are right - ( funny:) : I used my own suggestions that I gave you (!)- and cleaned out my 'saved games' path ...) The knee-board is not working in the A-10C completely. this seems some sort of " bug" - to make things clear: I'm not responsible for it - ED seems to 'forgot' to add the needed key commands to the 'Keybord.lua' of the A-10C ... seems you should make a bug-report in you testers forum. It was was working for me while testing because I didn't deleted my (hefty edited) files of the saved-games folder. And I made my last tests only in FC3 and the Huey...but not in the A-10C! Once I used the keyboard default.lua of the A-10C I'm also not able to call for the knee-board in the A-10C. - will work out a fix in the next days. In the meantime : Please read the thread-title as this KNEEBOARD Export for 'multimonitorsetup.lua' in all modules - DCS 1.2.4 - as long the Developer of a module allowed the use of the default kneeboard.

Clean/repaired install? - means: no leftover files of a previous 'kneeboard' mod left for the A-10C. ... You are the 'tester' - why do you ask me?! and you should know that I need more info than you gave , ... just to convince me to have a closer look on your problem at all :D - I could also ask: is the power plug plunged in while you fly the A-10C ?! :) Edit: ...wait...

certainly ! -this is up to Icemaker! I just provide the basics. - much better would be if ED and all 3rdParty developer would make the same changes that Icemaker and I worked out to get each view-export separated and available for end-user editing without the need to edit it again each time a new 'update' is out.... See: >>> Export - but I would like to make it absulute independent for each module - so you can choose the position for each module independent ( what I'm using right now) - but this needs more changes to the 'core' of each module - that's a little more than a simple file-swap like this 'tiny' mod... ...I'm using right now a version were I have different key-presses to hop directly on a pre-defined page , and I don't have to open the "briefing" - its all available in real-time while I fly and on a place that I decide. (Yes - the briefing images too. in cockpit, on my virtual knees or in a export) - and it is postulated as absulute new device in the "device_init.lua" of each module and so it need a lot of changes to each chained file including the 'input' and 'export' file. ...and I think it better to introduce it once this becomes reality: Kneebord Export for all DCS modules - I need your suggestions ....and there will be a real necessary to have another info on the knee-board available for each plane you are sitting in - because the A-10 needs another briefing than the Huey that share the same mission in a multi-player session. :D ... so it seems the dog is biting its own tail again :D

:D...to make it understandable/visual for the "average joe" what happens when the torque gets stronger than the plane can take at a current speed/airflow over the wings :

exactly this is what the key-script app is doing that I mentioned in my previous post - there are so much flavours ... I cant list them - do a search. Some work directly on the tablet - so you can program a gesture that sends a certain key-press to your pc or you can program it on your pc and it will be triggered via the touch-mouse function of the tablet and executed on your pc. (I use autohotkey + Air display on a iPad - so the iPad behaves just like another touch-screen monitor hooked to my pc ) Here is a showcase what I do with autohotkey - and it works the same when doing it on the tablet: >>>How To:Radio Menu control with Mouse Gestures The possibilities are sheer endless ( - without the need for a dedicated app)- it's up to you what you make out of it. Your own imagination is the limiting factor - open it up! ;):)

BTW and @ all : A interesting thread: Can we have this little Huey feature in our BS? Please leave your opinion in this link above - maybe you get heard.

Sorry...;):) >>> Easy-peasy - no need for a dedicated application...
