Lilkiki Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Dear Pilots, I was wondering how to move and edit the size of the Kneeboard, as I am using two 8" MFD monitors in addition of the main 27", my kneeboard is always looking weird while I'm flying the A-10C or KA-50 with my 3 monitors. I know Peter P did a great tablet mod while ago, but I only want to edit the kneeboard emplacement. Many thanks in advance ! :smilewink: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskanGrizzly Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 You can try this windows application that I made that allows you to easily modify the size and position of the kneeboard. Kneeboard Builder http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=129341 The feature can be found under Options -> Kneeboard Settings -> Size and Position. If you want to do it manually, place the attached modified 'ViewportHandling.lua' file in the 'Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit' directory. (make a copy of the original file first) Open the 'ViewportHandling.lua' file in a text editor like Notepad++ and change the kneeY, kneeX, kneePosY and kneePosY values to meet your needs. local kneeY = 597 (kneeboard vertical position) local kneeX = 519 (kneeboard horizontal position) local kneePosY = 42 (kneeboard height) local kneePosX = 435 (kneeboard width)ViewportHandling.lua 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was exactly what I was looking for ! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: I think it is : local kneeY = 597 (kneeboard height) local kneeX = 519 ( kneeboard width) local kneePosY = 42 (kneeboard vertical position) local kneePosX = 435 (kneeboard horizontal position) Edited October 12, 2014 by Lilkiki [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilkiki Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Does someone tried to change the position of the kneeboard in DCS 1.5 / 2.0 ? The tweak above does not seem to work anymore :( Thanks ! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devrim Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi my friend. I only change the position of KB to the most left of screen, and that always works for me. In any case I'd like to share how to do; Open init.lua at "...Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\" Go to line #123 and change the parameter to true. So, the code block must be seen as below: if is_left == nil then is_left = true end With this modify, you'll see the KB at left! See you. :) Intel i7-14700@5.6GHz | MSI RTX4080 Super SuprimX | Corsair V. 32GB@6400MHz. | Samsung 1TB 990 PRO SSD (Win10Homex64) Samsung G5 32" + Samsung 18" + 2x8"TFT Displays | Saitek X-55 Rhino & Rudder | TM MFD Cougars | Logitech G13, G230, G510, PZ55 & Farming Sim Panel | TIR5 >>MY MODS<< | Discord: Devrim#1068 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that if you position the kneeboard in the center of the screen you should be able to use it with Oculus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilkiki Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi guys, thanks for your feedback, everything is running fine in 1.2, but I'm not able to edit the position of the kneeboard in 1.5 nor 2.0. Find attached my modified lua for my multi monitor system (extracted MFD's) Thanks again for your help ;) ViewportHandling.lua [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
